crazney.net - iTunes stuff

Welcome to my iTunes stuff website, here you will find various things
relating to iTunes hacking that I have written.

Last updated:April 29, 2004

iTunes 4.5: iTunes 4.5 uses a new authentication algorithm. However, not
even 24 hours after I downloaded it, and that includes a little sleep and
lots of uni time, I've broken it. Hah. Anyhow, libopendaap 0.2.0 and
tunesbrowser 0.1.4 are now available.

<crazney> brb have to shut chooks in.
<Fryboy> "I have just deconstructed the encryption protocol designed by
Apple's finest enginee..ah fuck the chicken has escaped"

Pages here:

* libopendaap: A library for connecting to iTunes shares and
streaming audio files.
* tunesbrowser: An application, built on top of libopendaap in
GTK for browsing and playing the songs in various iTunes shares.
* authentication: A page describing the authentication
procedure
used by the latest iTunes programs in order to lock out third party
applications.
* iTunes Music Store authentication: A page describing the
authentication packets used by the iTMS. This complements Jason Rohrers
iTMS-4-ALL project.

Say no to the AUS-FTA!
