The Specialist has followed this up and it looks like months of hard work have come to an end, with the Xbox 360 firmware being well and truly hacked, the security details posted a few days ago are said to be proof as well as a video, this hack will not be made available publicly it seems.
Just for fun, here’s a little video: http://rapidshare.de/files/15810304/360hack.mpg.html. And no, the team decided not to release a hacked FW. The security details are proof itself. The team advocates hacking, not piracy.
*EDIT*
For all skeptical ppl, here the original video: http://rapidshare.de/files/15899907/360hackORG.mpeg.html

Time for game makers to go back to crummy cartridges or some other form of media that people can’t copy easily.
First off the xbox 360 has not been ‘100%’ hacked by any stretch of the imagination. All that has been done is a hack of the disk drive firmware. That means that with this hack the DVD drive will report back that the disk is valid even if it isn’t. However there is still security that checks the files themselves as well. As such ONLY games etc that microsoft has ’signed’ will run even with this hack. In other words Xbox Media Center for the 360 is a long ways away yet.
This is an interresting advancement to say the least but one can only hope that better advancements are yet to come.
HAhA that would be funny. do you remember blowing into your cartridges? digital content protection what i a biz!
