English term or phrase: unlooper
"Unlooper" and "Bootloader"
“Unlooper” is a nickname for a Universal Smart Card Terminal or Smart Card Repair Terminal. It gets its nickname from the ability to bring a Smart Card out of a “Software Loop.” When a card is in a software loop, it is unusable and does not respond to external commands. While unloopers and bootloaders may at some point enjoy widespread use for legitimate purposes, many are currently configured exclusively for use in pirating DirecTV’s satellite signal. Study and experimentation by security professionals and academics with unloopers and bootloaders are still legitimate practices; however other legitimate uses are rare.

Explanation:
Tviler på om du finner noen norsk oversettelse av dette ordet, så det beste er nok å beholde "unlooper".

Hvis du vil oversette det likevel, foreslår jeg "sløyfeåpner", sinden "loop" er "sløyfe".

agree  Egil Presttun: Helt riktig å beholde "unlooper" på norsk! Loop betyr "løkke" i dette tilfellet, og løkken blir brutt, ikke åpnet. Sløyfeåpner er omtrent like morsomt som slipsknuteåpner. Det er 17. mai i dag, så vi tar sløyfeåpneren med godt humør. +1 fra meg.
