Tornado EOS - Trojan or the real thing?

[Sapporo]

I read a comment here  https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS/I-need-to-install-Russian-language-onto-my-Canon-EOS-5D-Mark-III/td-p/140762 about changing the language. A new user wrote about Tornado EOS

It seems like SPT but cheaper and also the ability to change the menu language on locked cameras (from Japan). I did a scan with VirusTotal https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/8cc2b65ed7c29b02f0cfb6c3b7f7436aa653b362fd70935c9b59e4e6988d7f74/detection

In Russian language (google translate it) http://www.monitor.net.ru/forum/tornado-eos-info-640354.html

"At the moment, I have a lot of groundwork and experience in raising cameras from a complete software corpse. By means of UART, JTAG, programmer. Well, or at least the extraction of calibrations for the subsequent recording of them into a new board, without its soldering.

Familiar to all EOS 1000D when the main display is not working, but the camera in the viewfinder writes BUSY, EOS 5D, EOS 5D Mark II ... this is the most frequent, and it happens on all models."

Seems he has knowledge about the firmware bug in 1000D.

Opened the software in VirtualBox. I own two Canon 6D. One with Japense/Chinese/English languages and one with international languages. I unlocked the language lock. Now I have two 6D with international languages 

Possible to change WiFi/GPS, possible to turn on/off C-log on 5D IV. Dumped 1024 Kb MPU as a bin file. No idea what to do with it.

You did not need this software to change the language restriction.
PROP 0x01000012 -> http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Properties/550D
Just compare in qemu with the second 6D.

Thank you! I am not familiar with QEMU even if I have read about it here at ML, so I don't have the knowledge to change the setting on my own.

Hello, I'm the author of Tornado EOS and Tornado NKN. I'm from Russia. My russian name is Slava but is very difficult for non russian peoples, so my international name is Mike.

Thank you for good review, yes, software is really works, but for now many antiviruses have false positive detection of my program, because i use my custom protection system.
Unfortunately, it's very difficult for a single developer to influence huge corporations. So use virtual machine is not a problem.

For now i'm working on big update of Tornado EOS, when I finish it, I do the free shutter counter reader programm, also i have working methods to enable / disable the BootDisk Flag over USB and Downgrade firmware so, I think I can do installations of Magic Lantern little easy, and able for users with cameras with newer firmware, like EOS 5D Mark III with firmware 1.3.5

Yes i have knowledge about the firmware bug in 1000D and how to repair it, for now I have prototype, that will later become a part of Tornado EOS

Yes that's true, but sometimes easy just pay $20 and do it in one click. And for this sum do another features like calibrations backup, read error log ang clear it and etc.
