I think this is a classic chicken and egg problem and the only way to solve this issue is government regulation. Anyone aware of the mandatory IPv6 in Europe? I heard that the Chech Republic is doing something about it. I Poland, only Orang

BTW, in the European Union, reverse-engineering is perfectly legal, if it is done to ensure compatibility with the current tech. I cannot cite the reliable sources for it, though.

It is interesting that the vendor adapts the hardware token and then makes it weak on the software side. I recently did similar thing for the FineReader 6 using a hardware dongle [0]. It was surprisingly easy, no disassembly at all, just in

I guess it is some kind of problem with the home-made counter (e.g., picking up electrical noise), or perhaps the counter is placed in a building with a higher background level. As far as I’m aware, buildings made of blocks containing coal

PC-s were only described in hobby magazines, like Bajtek or Młody Technik. Nobody had them, though, except maybe some institutions. The hobbyists used to own ZX Spectrum or Commondore 64, but even that was rare. I know one programmer in his
