If your friend was charging a typical consultant/contractor developer rate to break the encryption you would be FAR better off just buying a legit cable... A cheap consultant will bill at $100/hour, and I bet it takes him a lot longer than 3 hours to do it.

That was my point. Just buy the cable

I have a ecutek cable and a rosstech vcds cable and eurodyne maestro dongle and opened them up to compare and they are almost identical

There is the cable and the hw dongle which are two different things. You could do something to make the software recognize a non-Ecutek cable perhaps fairly easily.

Generally with the USB dongle people create emulators to emulate the key, these days it's fairly difficult to crack software which uses a hardware dongle. People create the emulator and then grab an image of a working hardware dongle. There are functions all over the software which check for the dongle so it's not like it checks on startup and then that's it. Also if you need to update the software you may be screwed as well and if the software itself phones home so to speak to register a dongle with a specific hardware ID it also makes things difficult.

Easier to just buy the cable.

Will you be porting your software to be compatible with the twins?
