BD-Video Key Extraction

From Redump Wiki

Revision as of 19:30, 19 June 2022

This guide is only for Dumping Keys from Blu-Ray Video discs, for dumping the discs see Disc Dumping Guide (MPF).

Multiple methods for dumping BD-Video below, each with their own benefits and drawbacks.

Desired Information

With this guide, we'll be looking to find / dump the following information for your BD-Video disc:

• AACS MKB version number
• Media Key
• Volume ID
• Volume Unique Key
• Unit Key File Hash (DiscID)

A proper redump entry will display this info as under Protection in this example.

Method 1: Find VUK

This method is the easiest, and works on Media Key Block (MKB) versions past 68, but past version 68 (v69 skipped, v70 in 2019-07) it can only extract the UnitKey (UK). It works as long as the drive has not yet revoked the host certificate (it's only valid until mkbv71 and got revoked in 72).

1. Download and unzip the latest version of Find VUK
2. Double click "FindVUK - Synchronize.bat"
3. Now you will dump the keys. You do one of either two methods:
   1. Drag and drop the drive icon where the disc is inserted to the file "FindVUK - AACSkeys.bat" (NOTE: This requires no spaces being anywhere in the file path where your FindVUK folder is).
   2. OR open up the command line and "cd" (change directory) to the location to inside your FindVUK folder, then run this command: FindVUK.exe AACSkeys=X (where "X" is the drive letter).
4. In your FindVUK folder, go into the OnlineDB_Backup subfolder. You will find an xml file with your key info to submit to redump!

Method 2: Find VUK + DVD Fab

Method 2 works on Media Key Block (MKB) versions past 68, but past version 68 (v69 skipped, v70 in 2019-07) it can only extract the UnitKey (UK).

Software

Some versions of Find VUK and DVDFab don't play well together. Your experience may vary.

• Find VUK (unzip FindVUK in a folder with write-access)
• DVDFab (install)

Dumping

• DVDFab should be closed.
• Insert Blu-Ray disc.
• Launch FindVUK.exe, this will automatically launch DVDFab.
• Select "Try" to use DVDFab as a trial.
• A progress bar window should appear as DVDFab is processing the disc, which takes a few seconds. FindVUK should report that it found the key.
• Eject the disc, close FindVUK, close DVDFab (you may have to forcibly kill the process, for me it frequently hangs at that time).
• In FindVUK's OnlineDB_Backup subfolder, an xml file is created for each disc. Example for [1] - D6630E5AA891CE4164A44E627E5672F092D0D717-BDROM (Meta).xml:

Method 3: libaacs + VLC

This guide works on Media Key Block (MKB) version 68 and below. For reference MKBv69 was skipped, and MKBv70 was released around 2019-07.

Software

• VLC Player (install)

Check MKB version before Dumping

• If you ever put a disc with MKBv72 or higher, the key dump method below will never work again in that drive until new processing keys are available. I don't know the technical details but it seems Blu-Ray discs are able to update keys in your drives flash memory. After putting any MKBv72 disc that drive will only be able to decrypt using proprietary software.
• As I understand, you are allowed to put the disc into the drive, only if you playback/decrypt the disc it will update your drive keys. So checking MKB version before playback should be possible.

Dumping Guide

1. Start Here
2. Then create the directory "temp" at C:\ and follow the steps on the above tutorial (1. Start Here) thread under "Debugging:".
3. Now playback any BDMV with VLC and the key will outputted to the file "c:\temp\debuglog_aacs.txt". You will be looking in this txt file for the following info:
