Do you have a new version of the linux Keygen that will work with 9.80?

Do you have a new version of the linux Keygen that will work with 9.80?

v1.0 is working OK; edit Reactivate-PICC-PRO-9.80 adding the --keyfile switch at the end and then run it.

[robban]

May You could change "program Files" to Program"
Don't now it will solve the problem, but may it will comply with a  clean output.
Good luck. and if You get stuck. Pls. revert.

Hi, all
I have a problem integrating PICC compiler for PIC10/12/16 v9.80 with Hi-TIDE v3.15.
Please, could any one tell me how to add the plugin to allow Hi-TIDE use PICC,
I cannot find it in the compiler selection.

Please send rapidshare link for above link.(please send the latest versions of HiTech PICs on RS if possible)

Question: If we use the given l RSA Keygen (v2.3) with HiTech ,is there any remained limitation in software? Can we work with the libraries?(I am new in HiTech)

Just download the HI-Tech C compiler from microchip. Then use the RSA Keygen. And you will have the pro version for more than 30 days

Released new C pro compiler for PIC16 family. V9.81_PL0

2.3 did great Job !

Useful Note: in headers changed some register naming.....

Now about 9.81 (for linux), it's not working (ubuntu 10.10), and this is what I found:

1. With network connected

I've tested this countless times and used wireshark to detect outbound communication; even disconnected ntpd to have less packets to examine: couldn't find any packet going outbound except dhcp, imgp and dns protocols.

It's really puzzling me, I'll leave it to you Top.

Did v9.80 work OK?

I'm guessing it's something to do with your MAC address; how many network adaptors are in the machine?

Please provide a link to v9.81 for Linux.

[jss]

I never had 9.80 but I downloaded 9.80a together with mplab x; it didn't activate but I didn't investigate further, just moved on to 9.81 from here: http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en542849

Downloads at end of page. I wonder whether you can reach the page without registering. I can upload it to a server of your choice if necessary.

The machine has wlan0 and eth0 (wireless and wired) apart, of course, from loopback. eth0 was always disconnected during the tests which just made with wlan0. You mean that I should completely disable one of them to hide the mac address? And the compiler installation is supposed to be made with net on?

The key is locked to MAC address and I'm guessing that the keygen is finding a different MAC to the compiler. I'll test v9.81 when you upload it and modify the keygen to display the MAC it is locking to.

Just tested with ubuntu inside virtualbox with only one eth1, connected during full process. Got:
Activation error: Key not valid: error 1187

By the way, keygen is working perfectly with 9.81 for windows, just FYI

Seems like the Linux ELF files are now packed and that's why the keygen is not working. I don't know anything about unpacking ELF files but if you can unpack them then a patch would be simple.

Glad to hear this!

When I open the file with hex editor what I see is no ELF header but a script that starts:
#!/bin/sh
# This script was generated using Makeself 2.1.4

So, this is a self-extracting archive made by Makeself.

Perhaps I led you in mistake by compressing the file into .tar.gz? I just didn't want the name of the file to appear indexed on google. I'm sorry if I wasted your time.

So, please either extract from the file you already have with tar or dowload again with a .zip archiving format and try again? http://ifile.it/fgh89td

You can then:
# ./picc-9_81-linux.run --noexec --target anydir

and the filesystem will extract to <anydir> that you have created previously.

Sorry for the mess. I'll be here for any further assistance.

I wasn't talking about the install file. I'm referring to the executables; activate & picc in the bin folder.

[jss]

Yes, I got that; after you uncompress the zip dowloaded file you get picc-9_81-linux.run

If you then run:
# ./picc-9_81-linux.run --noexec --target anydir

you get the file structure inside <anydir> which contains what you want:
anydir/bin/activate
anydir/bin/picc

If necessary, I can upload the whole filesystem tree, please inform.
jss

[Top]

Forget about the tar.gz and run files, I have it installed and have the 'whole filesystem tree'.

I'll try and explain again

It looks like the Linux ELF executable files, activate and picc are now packed or protected with something and I am having trouble running them in a debugger. If you try to load activate into a disassembler you'll see what I mean. I don't know anything about unpacking Linux ELF executable files but if you can unpack them then a patch will be simple.

[jss]

Ok, I'm very sorry I was wandering around; I feel a bit silly 

I have to go out now but I'll try to do that and get back as soon as it's ready.

I have to confess that I also don't know much about ELF files but I already learned a lot since this afternoon. I'm mostly a firmware man, on the hardware / software boarder.

I was a windows user up to about four years ago and I must confess that I find debugging / disassembling tools much better on windows (OllyDbg, ...) than on linux. The probable cause is linux applications being opensource (large majority), who wants to reverse engineer them? Linux also doesn't have virus (almost) to study.

That said, I know your final purpose but I don't know how you are planning to get there.

So, I looked for a ELF unpacking tool as you requested and the closest I found was ELFsh, which I don't think can help us.

Also tried gdb with cgdb and xxgdb frontends, Nemiver, objdump with dissy frontend and others, also with no results.

Then, on the disassemble section, which might be what you're looking for, there's something similar to hiew for windows (remember this?). It's called BEYE but used to be BIEW. It's on sourceforge but doesn't have a debian package (I assume you're on debian or derivative). So I compiled it and made a working package. Should I upload it for you?

Waiting for directions.

Please disregard my last few posts about the Linux ELF files being packed/protected. Somehow the v9.81 download got corrupted and it made things look wierd in IDA.

I've tested my HI-TECH Universal RSA Keygen for LINUX on v9.81 and it's working fine; I couldn't reproduce your problems with or without network connection. I even installed Ubuntu 10.10 (32-bit) in VMware and tested again and it's OK; with and without network connections.

My original diagnosis, that it's a problem with your MAC address, is again my best guess without further testing.

I'm a bit lost then. Do you have any suggestion on how I should proceed to debug this problem, please?
jss

Edit: Could this be a permission problem? I'm doing everything as root, sudo in fact, installing the compiler, running keygen and reactivation, I guess this is correct / necessary, isn't it?

Yes, unless you're installing everything in your home directory you need root privileges.

Here's a version of the keygen (http://ifile.it/8s4p29g) that prints the MAC address that it's locking to; it won't fix your problem but it may give a clue to what's causing it. Try it with and without your network connection and report back.
