Crack Pic ====================== by Dejan Kaljevic 1998. mailto:spamdejan at ~NOSPAM~net.yu web: http://www.net.yu/~dejan In this file you will find out more about the theory on which my CrackPic software is based. Theory on which CrackPic is based *************************************** 1. Some of the PIC models allow scrambled data reading when they are protected, according to the formula: s = a NXOR b 1.) where: a = higher 7 bits from 14-bit word b = lower 7 bits from 14-bit word NXOR Table: x y |z ------ 0 0 |1 1 0 |0 0 1 |0 1 1 |1 2. Program is stored into EPROM. When this EPROM is erased, he has all of its bits set to 1, which means that value of all words stored into it is 3fffh. During the EPROM programming it is ONLY possible to change 1 into 0, AND NOT the other way around. Combining 1. and 2. You can conclude that to unscramble the word it is enough to erase lower 7 bits (b=0), which makes: for equation 1. if b=0 s1 = a NXOR 0 = NOT a s1 = NOT a 2.) ---------- equation 1. can be written as s = (NOT a) XOR b 3.) ----------------- Combining equations 2 and 3 s = s1 XOR b b = (s XOR s1) AND 127 4.) (AND 127 extracts 7th bit) ====================== a = (NOT s1) AND 127 ==================== The original word is: w = a*128 + b ******************************************************** * w = ((NOT s1) AND 127)*128 + ((s XOR s1 ) AND 127) * ******************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------- "s" is obtained by simple reading the PIC. Obtaining "s1" is a problem. Some PIC`s (16c71,61,.) allow writing into first 64 words, so it is enough to write 3f80h (11 1111 1000 000 bin) into every of these words, thus making b=0. The rest of the memory is protected from the writing, so it is necessary to find a way to do it somehow. I accidentally discovered the way to write the following word into the rest of the EPROM: (xx xxxx x x 00 0000 bin), thus making b=(x00 0000)bin (More about you can find in CrackPic.a32 writen in ASM). I cannot reset the highest bit in b, and from the previous equations it is obvious that it influences 14th and 7th bit in the original word. This means that for a given "s" we can calculate two pairs of different combinations for one instruction code (since bit 7 in b can be either 0 or 1): possible value bit for the bit 7 "s" 14 7 "w" -------------------------------------------------------------- 0 0 1 code 1 1 0 code 2 1 1 1 code 1 0 0 code 2 Because of that you will get 2 codes of which one is the correct. You will have to manually determine the correct instruction, but they differs a lot, and it should be easy to filter out wrong ones. I have made software (CrackPic.exe) that generate DEX.LST file which contains pairs of instructions, and enables you to easy pick the correct ones. Some helpfull notes ********************* If 7th bit of "s" equals 0, and you're cracking the PIC that has up to 3fh files (16c71,61,84, etc.), than it is probably code 1 0, because instructions with 0 1 code works with files 40h - 7fh, which are not supported in these PIC`s. Of course, after reading this text anyone can use this kind of instruction which has no other purpose but to fool you. Anyway, this program is not something special, but if you need inverse engineering of the PIC`s, and you`re experienced PIC programmer who can not pay 1000$ - 5000$ to the professionals, I believe that this FREE software will be of some use to you ;) ******************************************************************************* F.A.Q. ******************************************************************************* Q: Does CrackPic physically destroys PIC? A: NO! CrackPic resets one part of the program stored in PIC. If you have windowed PIC you can delete its contest with a UV lamp, and use it again! Q: Is Your algorithm applicable on some other Programmer? A: Yes,it is, on any one! Q: May I use Your algorithm from CrackPic? A: Yes, it's completely free if you mention my name somewhere in your final product. (Source can be found in CrackPic.zip at: http://www.net.yu/~dejan ) Q: Do you know how to crack parallel programmed PIC`s (16c54,55,56,etc.)? A: Not yet, but while working on them, I have made one interesting discovery, which maybe can be used to directly read protected program! Q: Can you tell me more about the algorithm you're using? A: Yes. You can find more detailed explanations in this file. Q: Do you know how to reset that 7th bit? A: No. If know that I would publish it right away. I have some ideas about it, if someone is willing to try... ========================================================================== Theory of other PIC-s ========================================================================== Theory of hacking 12-bit data parallel programed PIC-s: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16c54,16c55,16c56,16c57,16c58 ***************************** PASS 1 Getting S ----------------- Reading code protected parts data will be scrambled by equation: S = a XOR b XOR c ----------------- XOR Table: x y |z ------ 0 0 |0 1 0 |1 0 1 |1 1 1 |0 MSB LSB Origin W = aaaa bbbb cccc S 4 bit ;scrambled data a MSB 4 bit ;a,b,c parts from origin W (12bit) b 4 bit c LSB 4 bit PASS 2 Getting S1 ------------------ If we write to PIC "1111 1111 0000" (0ff0h) c=0 !

There are (to my knowledge) three ways to do it: 1. Applying short length EM wave, like UV light, X-rays, and similar. To use UV light, you'll have to access the core of the chip. You can gain this access by corroding it with some highly corrosive acid. With this method, memory cell is being slowly and permanently erased! 2. Increasing PIC power supply, but if you overdo it, you can easily destroy the chip. (Use no more than 10 - 20V, with a 50-100mA HIGH SPEED LIMITED CURRENT !!!) This method changes memory cell state ONLY during the time the voltage is increased, and this change takes effect almost instantly (because of the difference between memory cell structure and the structure of the rest of chip logic). When voltage drops back to the normal level, memory cells states also returns to their previous value. IT IS IMPORTANT TO TAKE CARE OF THE SUPPLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR PROGRAMMER AND PIC!!! YOU HAVE TO CONSTRUCT LEVEL TRANSLATORS, SO THAT YOUR PROGRAMMER WILL NOT BE DAMAGED !!! 3. Increasing the temperature of the chip (no more than 140 degrees of Celsius. At 155 to 200 degrees substrate will change its structure, and will be permanently destroyed! Remarks for this method are the same as for the previous one (increasing PIC power supply), but this method has lesser effect on the memory cell. In my opinion this is the best way: ----------------------------------- First we read protected PIC, and acquire "S" with standard reading. To acquire "S1" ("S2"): ---------------------------------- First you should try with the voltage change. In most cases it is quite enough to set protected bit in PIC. But be aware that during the programming, applying 10 -15 V power supply generates too big current that can destroy the chip, so you`ll have to supply the chip with limited 50 to 100 mA current. If this method gives no result, try this way: Temperature should be constant and about 110 Celsius. Vdd = 6-9 V (limit 100mA) Adjust UV light power so that it takes about 10 minutes to erase PIC. (You can regulate this by simply changing the distance between UV light source and chip) (Temperature remains 110 degrees of Celsius) 1 Expose between 20 - 30 sec 2 Interrupt exposure, and with programmer Vdd=6-9 V T=110 C check is PIC protection bit set. 3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 until this bit is set. 4 Expose for another 5-10 sec 5 Stop with the exposure (Now it is possible to program the whole PIC) 6 With a programmer at a 110 degrees of Celsius temperature and Vdd = 6-9 V program the WHOLE PIC with 3f80h for every word. 7 Slowly cool down the PIC to -10 C to -20 C 8 Read PIC at a temperature of -20 C and voltage of 3-4 V, unless you have not gone too far with the erasure of the PIC, all data will be intact (as before the erasure), even the protection bit will be 0! BUT, lower 7 bits in every word will be 0!, and we have acquired "s1"! Bigger voltage and temperature difference will result in better compensation of single bits erasure non-linearity on whole PIC. By using this equation we can decode the whole PIC: w = ((NOT s1) AND 127)*128 + ((s XOR s1 ) AND 127) ================================================== !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
