  Windows Media DRM cracked again
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: Daily Tech | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

The fight against Microsoft Windows Media DRM has been quite fierce. Viodentia released FairUse4WM 1.1 in August of last year -- Microsoft promptly issued a patch. FairUse4WM 1.2 and FairUse4WM 1.3 were then released to counter Microsoft's actions.

Microsoft was not happy at all to see its DRM efforts shredded to pieces so it filed a lawsuit against FairUse4WM's creator. Microsoft dropped the lawsuit in early April after it was "unable to locate these defendants through discovery and therefore could not serve them with process."

Today, latest chapter in the FairUse4WM saga unfolded. A user named "Divine Tao" on the Doom9 Forum issued an update for FairUse4WM 1.3. FairUse4WM 1.3Fix-2 is able to recover individual keys from Microsoft's Individualized Blackbox component (IBX).

According to Divine Tao, v1.3Fix-2 works with all IBX versions up to 11.0.6000.6324 and also includes a fix for a video corruption bug. FairUse4WM 1.3Fix-2is compatible with Windows XP/Vista and Zune media files.
