What do you need to know about CRC reverse engineering?
Width – the number of bits in the final CRC result. Poly – the polynomial being used to generate the CRC, expressed as a bit string. (I will omit the leading 1 bit that is always understood to be present.) ReflectIn (boolean) – Whether to reverse the input bytes before applying the algorithm to them.
What is the polynomial for crc-crc8 reverse engineering?
For reference, I found documentation that suggests the polynomial used is the standard SAE J1850 CRC8 polynomial x^8 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + 1, with a CRC-ID in decimal of 166 (stated as used for the low byte).
What causes the CRC of a message to change?
Due to the superposition principle, if changing a message by xoring it with a bit pattern B1 causes its CRC to change by C1, and another bit pattern B2 causes the CRC to change by C2, then xoring the message with ( B1 xor B2) should change the CRC by ( C1 xor C2 ). If that doesn’t happen, the algorithm can’t be an ordinary CRC algorithm.

How is C1 derived from C2 in CRC?
To be precise, if C1 corresponds to the message with a 1 in position i, and C2 corresponds to the message with a 1 in position i+1 , then C1 is derived from applying one shift-xor cycle to C2. (If this seems backwards, it’s because the further the 1 bit is from the end of the message, the more shift-xor cycles get applied to the CRC.)
How to think of the CRC in Java?
You can think of the CRC as being made up of the exclusive-or of a set of component CRCs, each of which depends on just one bit in the message. We can also treat the initial value of the CRC register (the XorIn parameter) as generating a component of its own that gets xored into the final CRC.
