Since Chris Tarnovsky is not listed anywhere in the pole. I had to take Sonicview by default.

Tarnovsky was hired by NDS in 1999 to crack N1. Perhaps he also hacked the N2 card(2005), but that was never established at the trial.

c/p from a coding site

"Funny though. First generation ST chip used by Nagra1 didn't have mesh protection but according to reports/myths/legends, yada, yada, was probed to access the keys. Second generation ST chip used by Nagra2 incorporated mesh guard and other anti-probing security mechanisms but alas no probing was necessary - cam was simply clock glitched and dumped. "

The N2 crack came from a hacker in Europe.
