If&nbsp; you&nbsp; have&nbsp; any&nbsp; problems&nbsp; receiving&nbsp; your&nbsp; areas&nbsp; by&nbsp; email,&nbsp; access&nbsp; “List&nbsp; Current”&nbsp; option&nbsp; on&nbsp; UCS&nbsp; members&nbsp; page&nbsp;&nbsp; and&nbsp; copy/paste&nbsp; them&nbsp; into&nbsp; notepad&nbsp; and&nbsp; call&nbsp; the&nbsp; file&nbsp; “areas”. Then&nbsp; copy&nbsp; the&nbsp; file&nbsp; to&nbsp; your&nbsp; keyfinder&nbsp; folder. The&nbsp; areas&nbsp; will&nbsp; look&nbsp;&nbsp; like&nbsp; this: CHID=FFFFF0:KEY#=0F:AREA=4CD7DAC000000000-4CD7DB4000000000:HASH=D06AAE4F2C2D49423)&nbsp; You&nbsp; do&nbsp; not&nbsp; need&nbsp; to&nbsp; be&nbsp; connected&nbsp; to&nbsp; the&nbsp; net&nbsp; to&nbsp; run&nbsp; keyfinder.&nbsp; Starting&nbsp; it&nbsp; is&nbsp; as&nbsp; simple&nbsp; as&nbsp; double&nbsp; clicking&nbsp; the&nbsp; UCSKeyfinder.exe. You&nbsp; can&nbsp; configure&nbsp; keyfinder&nbsp; under&nbsp; its&nbsp; options&nbsp; to&nbsp; start&nbsp; automatically&nbsp; every&nbsp; time&nbsp; you&nbsp; launch&nbsp; Windows,&nbsp; or&nbsp; you&nbsp; can&nbsp; start&nbsp; it&nbsp; manually&nbsp; by&nbsp; doubling&nbsp; clicking&nbsp; the&nbsp; UCSkeyfinder.exe&nbsp; each&nbsp; time. But&nbsp; be&nbsp; careful&nbsp; not&nbsp; to&nbsp; launch&nbsp;&nbsp; keyfinder&nbsp; multiple&nbsp; times&nbsp; on&nbsp; the&nbsp; same&nbsp; PC&nbsp; -&nbsp; every&nbsp; keyfinder&nbsp; will&nbsp; search&nbsp; the&nbsp; same&nbsp; area if&nbsp; you&nbsp; do,&nbsp; causing&nbsp; the&nbsp; search&nbsp; to&nbsp; slow&nbsp; down&nbsp; dramatically!4)&nbsp; When the keyfinder is running it will appear as a small icon in your&nbsp; task-bar showing a key and a magnifying glass.&nbsp; To change options for the search click once on this icon.&nbsp; You&nbsp; can&nbsp; set&nbsp; your&nbsp; own&nbsp; priority&nbsp; for&nbsp; the&nbsp; search&nbsp; by&nbsp; adjusting&nbsp; a&nbsp; &quot;Thread&nbsp; Priority&quot;&nbsp; slider&nbsp; on&nbsp; keyfinder. This&nbsp; determines&nbsp; how&nbsp; much&nbsp; CPU&nbsp; power&nbsp; you&nbsp; give&nbsp; to&nbsp; keyfinder. When&nbsp; you&nbsp; leave&nbsp; your&nbsp; PC&nbsp; running&nbsp; overnight&nbsp; or&nbsp; while&nbsp; you&nbsp; are&nbsp; at&nbsp; work&nbsp; (ie,&nbsp; when&nbsp; you&nbsp; are&nbsp; not&nbsp; using&nbsp; your&nbsp; PC/PCs&nbsp; for&nbsp; anything&nbsp; else),&nbsp; please&nbsp; set&nbsp; this&nbsp; slider&nbsp; to&nbsp; HIGH. It&nbsp; will&nbsp; be&nbsp; then&nbsp; that&nbsp; keyfinder&nbsp; will&nbsp; run&nbsp; at&nbsp; his&nbsp; very&nbsp; fastest&nbsp; for&nbsp; your&nbsp; PC. This&nbsp; is&nbsp; very&nbsp; important&nbsp; to&nbsp; the&nbsp; overall&nbsp; cause. However,&nbsp; you&nbsp; can&nbsp; also&nbsp; set&nbsp; the&nbsp; keyfinder&nbsp; to&nbsp; run&nbsp; in&nbsp; the&nbsp; background&nbsp; while&nbsp; you&nbsp; are&nbsp; using&nbsp; your&nbsp; PC&nbsp; for&nbsp; other&nbsp; things&nbsp; or&nbsp; surfing. Here,&nbsp; we&nbsp; recommend&nbsp; you&nbsp; set&nbsp; keyfinder&nbsp; to&nbsp; a&nbsp; lower&nbsp; level,&nbsp; so&nbsp; that&nbsp; it&nbsp; does&nbsp; not&nbsp; slow&nbsp; down&nbsp; other&nbsp; programs&nbsp; you&nbsp; might&nbsp; be&nbsp; running. But&nbsp; please&nbsp; remember&nbsp; to&nbsp; always&nbsp; reset&nbsp; priority&nbsp; to&nbsp; HIGH&nbsp; when&nbsp; you&nbsp; are&nbsp; finished&nbsp; using&nbsp; your&nbsp; PC&nbsp; for&nbsp; other&nbsp; things!5) Using&nbsp; keyfinder&nbsp; on&nbsp; Unix/Linux&nbsp; -&nbsp; a&nbsp; version&nbsp; is&nbsp; not&nbsp; yet&nbsp; available&nbsp; for&nbsp; Unix/Linux,&nbsp; but&nbsp; work&nbsp; is&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; under&nbsp; way&nbsp; to&nbsp; port&nbsp; keyfinder&nbsp; to&nbsp; this&nbsp; platform. Versions&nbsp; for&nbsp; other&nbsp; OS&nbsp; may&nbsp; also&nbsp; follow&nbsp; in&nbsp; time. There&nbsp; is&nbsp; a&nbsp; “silent&nbsp; mode”&nbsp; option&nbsp; on&nbsp; keyfinder&nbsp; that&nbsp; will&nbsp; allow&nbsp; it&nbsp; to&nbsp; run&nbsp; unseen&nbsp; on&nbsp; a&nbsp; PC/PCs. 6)&nbsp;&nbsp; Turning&nbsp; off&nbsp; keyfinder&nbsp; mid-search&nbsp; -&nbsp; keyfinder&nbsp; automatically&nbsp; creates&nbsp; a&nbsp; “Current&nbsp; Search”&nbsp; file,&nbsp; which&nbsp; means&nbsp; search&nbsp; progress&nbsp; is&nbsp; not&nbsp; lost&nbsp; should&nbsp; you&nbsp; turn&nbsp; off&nbsp; keyfinder&nbsp; or&nbsp; your&nbsp; PC&nbsp; crash.

[QUOTE="Ididndoit, post: 9090"] HOW TO USE UCSKEYFINDER4 1) Once you have downloaded and unzipped UCSKEYFINDER4, and ordered some areas from the UCS site, those areas will immediately be emailed to you. 2) Save the “areas” file attachment using browse option or copy to the folder containing your unzipped UCSKeyfinder4 download. If you have any problems receiving your areas by email, access “List Current” option on UCS members page and copy/paste them into notepad and call the file “areas”. Then copy the file to your keyfinder folder. The areas will look like this: CHID=FFFFF0:KEY#=0F:AREA=4CD7DAC000000000-4CD7DB4000000000:HASH=D06AAE4F2C2D4942 3) You do not need to be connected to the net to run keyfinder. Starting it is as simple as double clicking the UCSKeyfinder.exe. You can configure keyfinder under its options to start automatically every time you launch Windows, or you can start it manually by doubling clicking the UCSkeyfinder.exe each time. But be careful not to launch keyfinder multiple times on the same PC - every keyfinder will search the same area if you do, causing the search to slow down dramatically! 4) When the keyfinder is running it will appear as a small icon in your task-bar showing a key and a magnifying glass. To change options for the search click once on this icon. You can set your own priority for the search by adjusting a "Thread Priority" slider on keyfinder. This determines how much CPU power you give to keyfinder. When you leave your PC running overnight or while you are at work (ie, when you are not using your PC/PCs for anything else), please set this slider to HIGH. It will be then that keyfinder will run at his very fastest for your PC. This is very important to the overall cause. However, you can also set the keyfinder to run in the background while you are using your PC for other things or surfing. Here, we recommend you set keyfinder to a lower level, so that it does not slow down other programs you might be running. But please remember to always reset priority to HIGH when you are finished using your PC for other things! 5) Using keyfinder on Unix/Linux - a version is not yet available for Unix/Linux, but work is under way to port keyfinder to this platform. Versions for other OS may also follow in time. There is a “silent mode” option on keyfinder that will allow it to run unseen on a PC/PCs. 6) Turning off keyfinder mid-search - keyfinder automatically creates a “Current Search” file, which means search progress is not lost should you turn off keyfinder or your PC crash. Default is set to save your progress every 3 minutes. A “Searched Key” file is also generated automatically to keep record of areas you have searched. 7) Verifying searched areas - When an area is done, an area in the following pattern will be added to the "searched.txt" file in your keyfinder directory : "Area done: 11 22 33 44 00 00 00 00 - 11 22 33 46 00 00 00 00 Viaccess Search - [2002-05-01] - Hash: 12 34 56 78 91 01 11 21." In order to get new areas to search, you must verify the searched one(s) on the UCS2000 members page. This is done via the hash which contains information about the searched area (if the area is done, if a key has been found etc..) You do this by copy/pasting the unverified areas in your 'searched.txt' file into the textbox under the 'Verify Search” menu at UCS members page and pressing verify .The hash-checker will tell you if the areas have been approved. If you get 'hash-failed' on an area you have completed please contact admin! 8) When a key is found - if the keyfinder finds a valid key an encrypted file called 'found.key' is created, and a dialog will pop up asking you to send this file to admin. It will be checked via its hash and then tested against other CW pairs. If it works for them too, then you will be the one to have put the first crack in Via2 and key will be made public within the hour. [/QUOTE]
