Xbox 360 Security Deconstructing Lecture at 24C3
Posted by XanTium | December 27 23:36 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
It's starting to get a real tradition to see the xbox-linux/free60 guys at the Chaos Communication Congress at the Berliner Congress Center in Berlin, Germany. The 24th edition of the congress (25C3) started yesterday (Thursday), and later today (Friday) Felix Domke (alias Tmbinc) and Michael Steil (alias Mist) will hold their 1-hour "Console Hacking 2007" lecture.

The title for this year is "Why Silicon-Based Security is still that hard: Deconstructing Xbox 360 Security", so I guess they will not only explain and talk about the Hypervisor Exploit (remember: it was introduced 'anonymously' last year during one of the 'Lightning Talks' at 23C3 by the 'hoodie guy' ;)) but also about the Timing Attack downgrade-hack. To know if there will also be some new stuff introduced we'll have to wait till after the 1-hour lecture that will take place at 4pm CET.

Here's the introduction of their lecture:
[QUOTE]
The Xbox 360 probably is the video game console with the most sophisticated security system to date. Nevertheless, is has been hacked, and now Linux can be run on it. This presentation consists of two parts.

In the first part, we describe the motivation and the design of the Xbox 360 security system from a very high-legel point of view, present the hack and what is possible with Linux, and discuss how the situation can be improved both for the manufacturer and for hobbyists with future devices.

In the second, very technical part, we will discuss the design and implementation details of the Xbox 360 system and security architecture and describe in detail how and why it was hacked, as well as how Linux was ported to this new platform.
[/QUOTE]

Other console related lectures at 24C3:
* 'Playstation Portable Cracking' by TyRaNiD on December 30th 5:15pm CET
* 'Console Hacking: State of the Wii' by Ben Byer+others - 14th in line of the 'Lightning Talks' (5-minute talks)

I really hope we can view the presentation live online, if not, will have to wait until after the presentation takes place. I hope they have something else that is really cool to show at this conference.

I would like to see some emulators being worked on.


I know the 360 will be great to run linux and our favorite dos/windows games on as well.

Imagine, the all in one console. HaHa.

Anyways, this is going to be an awesome presentation.

I'm sure the winks mean they got another project to show.

An XBMC for the 360 would kick maximum ass. I hope to see that someday. The 360 could be the ultimate home theater machine. beerchug.gif
