- You need at least a keyboard plugged into the RingEdge, and as it states I think a special USB hub to use said keyboard.
- You also need the SSD and the matching keychip.
- All ringedge SSDs are ATA password protected with a hex code:
- 7242525ABA526A5AEA726278CA42DA4A2A223A2A0A221A2A6A027A0A5CCE4A0A
- [you can use a converter site to get ascii, but it's probably recommended to use:
- hdparm --security-unlock $(printf [password here in hex]) /dev/sdX]
- Use Linux or any derivative to remove the password protect using the command above
- OR
- Boot the SSD in the RingEdge and then disconnect SATA (while leaving power in)
- and connect it to another PC)
- There should be 3 NTFS partitions on the SSD.
- The RingEdge executes C:\System\Execute\mxprestartup.exe -> rename it or remove it.
- Then remove the password from SystemUser in the SAM file @ C:\Windows\System32\Config.
- Additionally: you will have to attach the registry hive to *your* machine and edit
- "HKLM\ControlSet001\Services\kbfilter\Parameters\FilterEnable from 1 to 0 (now you can use the keyboard).
- On RingEdge SSD there are 7 partitions: partitions 4 (update) and 7 (game) are encrypted with TrueCrypt 4.3a.
- For this, you need to dump the password inside the keychip.
- To do this, boot the SSD with the password removed from SystemUser.
- After booting, you will see a Windows screen with a white background (?), press CTRL+ALT+DEL
- and switch user to SystemUser.
- After that, another normal Windows screen, *but no mouse*. You should only need a keyboard for this though.
- Disable the Enhanced Write Filter with this command:
- efwmgr C: -commitanddisable -live
- and you can choose to restart or not.
- To dump the keychip:
- You need to open a protected file through a command window.
- TrueCrypt /p segahardpassword /k X:\SystemKeyFile /v C:\System\Execute\System /l S: /w /s /q
- Now there will be a new drive mounted, S:\ Inside is a file called mxmaster.exe.
- Open another window in Explorer at the location: C:\Windows\temp\
- Start mxmaster.exe and during booting the RingEdge security you can press the Windows key until you see a 16 byte long file,
- that begins with ma and 4 digits in the temp folder. Copy this file to another location or USB drive.
- Now you have successfully dumped the keychip. With this file you can now unlock partitions 4 and 7.
- To do this:
- open a command window and type: truecrypt
- Choose the partition you wish to unlock.
- Under keyfile, specify the file you saved earlier during security startup.
- That is all I was able to get from the blog post.
