James Laird has reverse engineered the Airport Express private key (http://mafipulation.org/blagoblig/2011/04/08#shairport) and published an open source AirPort Express emulator. 'My girlfriend moved house, and her Airport Express no longer made it with her wireless access point. I figured it'd be easy to find an ApEx emulator — there are several open source apps out there to play to them. However, I was disappointed to find that Apple used a public-key crypto scheme, and there's a private key hiding inside the ApEx. So I took it apart (I still have scars from opening the glued case!), dumped the ROM, and reverse engineered the keys out of it.http://apple.slashdot.org/story/11/04/11/1320246/Apple-AirPlay-Private-Key-Exposed
