The hypervisor and its implications

Dec 1st 2005 8:55AM (Joystiq Xbox)
Dang it looks like M$ Covered all bases this time.... Brute force hacking the 360 prob wouldn't work at all as we all know the boot hypervision looks for the signed boot image on this sucker and remember the first xbox wouldn't run unsigned code (Back up games etc...) Unless it was modded which was piece of cake when others could flash the tsop and all of that. But now it looks for a signed OS / Code to boot. No one ever was able to duplicate that signed code or whatever to get it to boot on a unmodded box they were only able to expiolt the 1st box due to serveral hardware loose ends but now they have to have some type of signed code or whatever to get the new box to boot it. The only way I think this new box can be modded is by getting a rogue M$ employee which has access to the signing tools and whatever to sign one of the modded oses or whatever these hackers have out there planned for the xbox 360... I don't see how that is possible after all whoever does the signing of the apps and games at M$ prolly doesn't want to lose his job @ M$ But nothing is impossible so let's just sit back and see :-)
