read service area?

Open themaddoctor opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

Anyone know how to read the service area of the disk?

I found someone who has a My Book with the OXUF chip, but the keyblock is not on the end of his disk. It might be in the service area, but I don't know how to access it. It could also be on the EEPROM, but I want to try to solve this without messing with that yet.

A while ago I started writing code to make ATA requests for the VSCs necessary to access the service area. If I ever get back to it, then reallymine will start being able to access the service area.

The necessary commands are publicly available anyway, as an hddsuperscript script. I forgot where it is; the filename is wd_royl_dump_mod_all.

Note that due to OS restrictions, this functionality will not work on OS X.
