Adobe ADEPT DRM for EPUB circumvented

[aliettedb]

Oh, thank you so much!
Moved the file, renamed it, and the decryption worked a treat.
You guys are awesome.

If you download the eBook via the B&N Desktop Reader, the eBook comes in as an ePub eBook. If you download the eBook via the website, the eBook comes in as eReader.

I've seen the issue of a defective ePub where there were invalid entries in the zip/ePub. The only solution is to unzip the ePub and fix the problems like was done in the post above.

Have you tried lately? I've gotten ePubs the last couple I downloaded - from the web.

Hello,

but when i use ineptepub.pyw, version 2 i get this error message

File name in directory "OEBPS/gior_9783641027827_oeb_c35_r1.th7ß" and header "OEBPS/gior_978361027827_oeb_c35_r1.html" differ

list assignment index out of range

and when i use aineptepub.pyw i get this

[Errno 2] No such file or direcotry 'aaa\\test.epub

what i can do?

You have to unzip and rezip the ePub file. See this post

When i run the scripts, the first one creates the adaptkey.der file. The second script, however, generates the message: "Error: problem decrypting session key".

I've tried Pyton 2.6 and installed the library but no luck. Any thoughts?

Have you checked that you have the latest version of the key script, and the latest version of ADE?

Thanks everyone for all your help. I have managed to successfully remove the DRM. The process I went through is as follows:

1. Changed the extension from epub to zip
2. Uncompressed the zip file by clicking on it
3. Recompressed back to epub using ePub Zip 1.0.2 (see this thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54311)
4. Used ineptkeymac_v1.py to generate adeptkey.der
5. Opened Terminal and navigated to the folder in which I saved all the files related to removing DRM (including the book)
6. Ran the following script "python ineptepub_v2.py adeptkey.der bookdrm.epub booknodrm.epub"
7. Bob's your uncle!!!

Once again a huge thank you.

PantaRhei,

I had the exact same problem. I posted my solution just above this one (790)

Good luck

Most of the problems arose from old scripts. Before writing a bug report you should have the newest script versions.

That means:
- Inept Key Retrieval V4.4 [ineptkey]
- Inept ePub Decrypter V4.1 [ineptepub]

Try go retrieve the newest adeptkey.der (save the old one for backup purposes). Don't mix old with new scripts.

Windows 7 64bit
Python 2.6 32-bit
pycrypto 2.1.0
ineptkey 4.4

When I run ineptkey, I get the following error message:

"pythonw.exe - Application Error"
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."

I'm ignorant of everything Python and I've been unable to track this error message down in Google as I usually do, so I'm stumped. I haven't found something even close to this error message in this forum either. I'm assuming this is a Windows issue?

I also get the same error message when trying to run both ineptepub or ineptpdf

It looks like there is a problem with Python. Have you tried installing it again?

If you are using the 64-bit Python, uninstall it and install the 32-bit version. Seems there are issues using the 64-bit version.
