Published AirPort Express Private Key

American developer James Laird, helping his girlfriend to establish a connection between the access point and the AirPort Express base station, did not find another way out how to disassemble AirPort Express, read the ROM and perform reverse engineering of the program, after which he was able to extract the private key. This key is used to decode Apple AirPlay ( RAOP ) private packet packets.

Having established a system for the girl, the hacker shared his discovery with the public . In fact, now you can make an AirPort Express emulator on anything.

AirPlay technology (and the AirPort Express WiFi base station) are used to wirelessly stream data from your computer from iTunes to your iPhone, iPod, iPad, or other AirPlay compatible devices. Now, AirPort Express, as a matter of fact, becomes optional, and this stream can be launched on any device / program that has not even been licensed from Apple. It is enough to make an emulator based on the ShairPort package decoder (Perl / C). James published a decoder under a free license ( copy on github ). From now on, content can be streamed from iTunes, for example, using a regular computer and the XBMC program.

Just in case, here is the key itself in ASCII .
