    I'm not the one to be correcting anyone at this point, but I noticed something.
    Shouldn't there be an extra set of 00:
    I'm still very new to Hex editing, but what does (9Ch) & (B6h) mean? Could I get a crash course :)

    Thanks a lot! You are right of course! I've corrected it!
    My bad! I should not do such things without to use my tools.:eek:

    I cannot give you a crash course right now...I don't have the tools here and from Saturday on I even won't have access to Internet till April.

    Use your windows calculator, scientific mode.
    You can switch between hex and dec values:

    A byte can take 256 different values, which means from 00 to FF! FFh=255

    Our dec system: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,.......

    The Hex-System:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,1A,1B............

    pubkey: The first four bytes are zero bytes "00 00 00 00", folowed by the next four bytes which are the table length bytes "9C 00 00 00"

    You have to reverse them----->0000009C, which means the lenght is 9Ch
    9Ch = 156 bytes (the "h" indicates a hex value and IS NOT A PART of the value itself).

    marker: The first four bytes "01 00 00 00" First byte is index 01 means marker, index 00 means pubkey.
    Next four bytes are the length bytes again:"B6 00 00 00"------>000000B6

    B6h = 182 bytes
    Got it?

    At SLIC the table lenght bytes are: "76 01 00 00"------> 00000176

    176h = 374 bytes long, always.....

    The first four bytes here are the name string of the table "SLIC".
    A pubkey table doesn't have a name (four zero bytes), a marker has index 01 followed by three zero bytes "as name".

    CU again;)

    I thought this only worked for ASUS boards?

    I have a Gigabyte with HP SLIC. Do you think I can separate the marker and the key from my slic.bin file and insert them into my bios?

    I'd rather have the key and marker appear in my cbrom listing than the isa.bin file, I heard the ISA module is easier to detect.
