iTunes v4.5 Authentication Cracked already.

[Moloko_Plus]

Apple released a new major version of its popular iTunes software that allows purchases via iTMS music store, aiming to change the authentication method of iTunes' songs that was broken previously by hackers who wished to incorporate iTunes support to various applications. Now, just 24 hours after the release of new version, v4.5, the new authentication scheme seems to be cracked again.

The library, libopendaap, allows connecting to iTunes shares and streaming audio files and by using that library, developers can easily add a support for such features in their own tools. Legality of such library is another thing, but so far the site that hosts the files in Australia hasn't been harrassed by Apple.

(Ok, im completely ignorant when it comes to anything Apple does, what does this exactly mean?)

Only 24 hours, huh?

I wonder if they had some inside help on this one?

in a way its good for apple as it makes it more a standard and what people will use for other things ...
