harrydeo Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Found via my Google Tech Talk feed update. http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=uxjpmc8ZIxM Extremely hard core tech session. This session comes from guys at free60.org. Free60 is a project towards porting GNU/Linux, BSD, Darwin and related open-source operating systems to the Microsoft Xbox 360 video game console. ABSTRACT: After the disaster of the original Xbox, Microsoft put a lot of effort in designing what is probably the most sophisticated consumer hardware security system to date. We present its design, its implementation, its weaknesses, how it was hacked, and how to do it better next time. Speaker: Michael Steil Michael Steil has been involved with various embedded systems hacking projects, like the Xbox, the Xbox 360 and the GameCube. In 2006, he has spoken at Google about the flaws in the security system of the original Xbox. Speaker: Felix Domke Felix Domke is the principal author of the Xbox 360 hack and the Linux port. He has also significantly contributed to hacking the dbox2, the GameCube and the Wii, and porting Linux to the respective platforms. -------------------------- Also at the end of the slide they present all the consoles that were hacked with the exception of PS3. The reason they said was (43:46), "PS3 security system is similar to XBOX360 security system but it still not has been hacked, because on PS3 provides a means of running anything you want, via run other OS. So hacker & homebrew community has no real reason to hack into PS3. Thats great from SONY's strategy, learned from PS2 & PSP. Sony has protected PS3 from hackers by letting them do anything they want to" And yes guys I am aware of RSX exception. Thats just from the preso. Those who are interested in system internals its a much watch. Go see how XBOX 360 security system works and what it has to do with IBM's power architecture.

TRMNTR Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 That was pretty interesting! "PS3 security system is similar to XBOX360 security system but it still not has been hacked, because on PS3 provides a means of running anything you want, via run other OS. So hacker & homebrew community has no real reason to hack into PS3. Thats great from SONY's strategy, learned from PS2 & PSP. Sony has protected PS3 from hackers by letting them do anything they want to" Ohhh... The hackers are so happy with Sony that they would prolly never harm the system in any way!

Suhas Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 ^^ if your motherboard is a xenon or xephyr board you can downgrade thru timing attack (lil complicated). But, rite now falcon boards cannot be downgraded thru timing attack.(cos threy hav different type of CPU) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
