1. Mongoose still installed?
  
  Mongoose used to be required for webif but was replaced by lighttpd a couple of years ago. You should just be able to uninstall Mongoose now. If it does not want to uninstall, do it from the command line with '--force-depends'.

3. Beta Offline decryption utility
  
  I think that using weak or semi-weak keys has the same effect as making key 1 = key 2, i.e. it reduces triple DES to DES. It is a shame that the units can't be coerced to carrying out even numbers of decryption passes: double or quadruple DES would produce unencrypted output if you made key 1 =...

  I don't know if it is a bug or a feature, but the latest version of stripts does not work like the examples above. Even if you have changed the encryption key with nugget, stripts still uses the unit's original key by default. To get it to decrypt a recording made with a modified key, you have...

  I found a useful reference here. The main aim of this is to explain different padding types, i.e. methods to use when the data to be encrypted is not an exact multiple of the block size, but it exemplifies how the decryption works.

  I think that the long string (derived from the MAC address and serial number) is split into smaller keys. If I am correct, with the HDR-FOX, key 1 = key 3 so there are effectively two keys derived from the main string. Edit: This is already explained in post #25.

  Is the queued decryption method now working for the HD-Fox? I have the opkg-beta package installed on my HD-Fox, and I have updated stripts to 1.4.0 and webif to 1.4.3, but when I queue a recording for decryption it does not happen; the queue table says "defer, DLNA server not running".
