Of course there will be a free ixtreme.
That does NOT mean that the team will figure out a way to decrypt the key data. We've obviously already looked at the method, and its nothing new. The key data is encrypted. The exe just dumps that info. Yes it appears to be a slightly altered dvdkey32 ....*shrugs* ....why do double work?
The problem is the encryption. Even if we defeat the crypt we cannot release the algo to the public. That would be incredibly illegal.
foundmy has come up with a solution to what was the main thing holding the release of ixtreme back. The firmware has already been in the works and we've had solutions to read/write firmware. However that is not the same as read/write key data!
The crypt used on these drives are NOT simple. If we found a way to decrypt the key data this moment, you would still never see it released to public. Its simply very illegal.
So I hate to break it to everyone, but its looking like this will be the only solution.
While I agree $42 is abit steep....its a very small price to pay for the modification of what is previously a unmodifiable drive. And for those of you modding for others? Its not coming out of your pocket, so stop complaining. Infact, everyone should stop complaining period. If someone has spent hard work to figure out something then they should be rewarded for it.
Who knows, maybe HyperX will get with MS to sue foundmy?

lol j/k

This cant be happening. So we're forced to pay 42 dollars to foundmy.com to get our key right?
Why cant someone else do the thing foundmy.com is doing but for free. That way we will all get our key!
But then again its not that simple.
Someone please reassure me that this not happening.
