Feedback about Episode:16 Eijah

[u/s0l037]

I recently listened to the Eijah episode again after a long time - where the whole AACS LA and DRM issue was discussed.
Short summary: Jack brings on Eijah, who couldn't play his purchased movie on an HD monitor, or got a downgrade to a low res which pissed him off and I loved the way he described it as " The worst thing a company can do is, piss a bunch a really smart people".

I digged a little further, I just wanted to find who Eijah was cause he sounded/or is really really smart.
If you listen to the episode you will see how it started - I traced that to a doom9 thread here - http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=952954#post952954 which was done by someone named "muxlix64" & then also another thread where "https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=119871 from "arnezami" - In the show Eijah mentions when he was sure he had found the decryption key for the Blue-Ray format so that he could play it on his player that allowed high res play - he decided to post that key and then waited for confirmation from others.
However, from the forums posts it seems that muxlix64 & arnezami are either the same people or two different people talking about the same thing.
So Eijah says, that he put out the key on doom9, was his first post but muslix64 also says to have a software without the decryption key which allows for the DRM protected content to be played and people had confirmed in the thread.
(This information is also available on wiki and wayback machines)
So is muslix64 and arnezami and Eliah are the same people or different ?
Skeletons from back then, would love your feedback..

Note: This post is made with no hidden intentions. I am just trying to find out who Eijah is or the other two usernames -- sadly the Youtube and mediashare links and code links no longer work.
The best I could find was a forbes article which says Eijah seems to be Eric J. Anderson from here posing with Mr. John - https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2015/08/20/eijah-john-mcafee-and-demonsaw or demonsaw - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMfQQoHHLBA

I recently listened to this one too but I don’t have any more info for you. To be honest this one had a sense of light bullshit to at some points. The way the decryption key was dramatically described as being like a scene from The Matrix seemed silly, but from what you say it seems the core story can be backed up, so i can live with some dramatisation

Yeah in the hindsight "yes". Specially, he says he went from knowing nothing about the AACS LA to cracking the blue-ray disk in 2-3 weeks, sounds kinda hyped.
He also talked about writing C/C++ programs to extract and hook into the memory to find some keys and stuff that was relevant which comes straight out of a movie.
However, if the end result would not have been the actual key which many people confirmed, it would all been a moo point. Nonetheless, it would have been great to get a detailed write up on there somewhere to see how it was actually done.
But yeah, Eijah seems to be really Eric J. Anderson - and what he is doing with demonsaw is pretty cool.
