coconut.dat

[ManikM]

what is it? and do you put it in the root ETC folder, or VAR\ETC folder?

how is it activated?

ta

It contains (BISS) keys and goes into /var/etc. The file can be activated, but you need to CHMOD it (755), and it works with the MCas client.

thanks!!

Theres also an auto update plugin from the german forum that works great.

for key.tmp or coconut.dat ?

And why do I want them....whatever they are?

(If it doesn't affect Sly, then maybe it doesn't matter to me!)

doesn't the MCAS plugin (when started) include BISS Keys.

what, therefore, is Coconut used for?

bump - lol
i need this info, 11 years later

its weird, im not sure if MCAS is needed in addition to COCONUT - i think MCAS uses softcam.key and coconut - coconut.dat

but one doesnt appear to work unless the other is started.

very odd setup

[buck401]

On my ICECRYPT boxes s6000, S4000, 3500 coconut runs alone to decrypt BISS.
See my recent post regarding coconut on an s6600.

i did mate - it worked

the problem with coconut, is there is no common key format

i would like to use MGCAMD - as this can read SOFTCAM.KEY files

MGCAMD is an installed plugin...but i couldnt get it opening BISS keys. ONly coconut, using an old Coconut.Dat file.

i had a recent softcam.key file in \etc\var (and the config was pointing to that location)
