CC and PP values
Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2014 7:49 pm
Hey there coders,
It's been a long time since I posted something, first I was on holiday and after that my school started, first year of university, and it is pushing on me a lot :P (It is a lot of fun though!). I'll try to be a bit more active here than I was and I hope I will succeed in that
My question is about algorithms as linked in this post (if this kind of link is not allowed I am sorry for that, please do remove it in that case mods).
I am talking especially about this part:
This would be the explanation for CC and PP, but I fail to comprehend that either...
My question to you is: how can I detect the CC and PP in such a 'string' so to say.
Disclaimer/for those who are worried about the purpose of my question: I am helping a friend who is studying ICT and Software science and this is part of his course, neither of us understands it, and I hope some of you do
Kind regards,
Max
PS if this is the wrong section, I am sorry, I don't have a clue where to post it though.

Code: Select all
I understand the Default SSID and encryption key part, but the step from S/N to CC and PP is simply comprehensible for me. S/N: CP0647EH6DM(BF)
Remove CC and PP values: CP06476DM
"XXX" values hex-encoded: CP064736444D
SHA1-ed: 06f48a28eba1ab896a396077d772fd65503b8df3
Default SSID: BTHomeHub-8DF3
Default encryption key: 06f48a28eb
