Abstract
Techniques are provided for receiving a transmitted first packet that was formatted using a known scrambling algorithm with an unknown scrambling seed. An encoded packet payload is extracted from the first packet header. The encoded packet payload header is decoded to obtain a first scrambled packet payload header. For each potential value of the unknown seed, the first scrambled packet payload header is descrambled to produce a first set of descrambled packet payload headers and for each potential value of initial register values associated with a cyclic redundancy check, the cyclic redundancy check is executed comprising polynomial division on each of the descrambled packet payload headers such that when the polynomial division results in a zero remainder, a potential unscrambled payload header for the first packet is obtained. Information about the first packet is obtained from the potential unscrambled payload header.
