Hack a Day
[Ben Heck] is no stranger to building Xbox 360 laptops. Over the years he’s built dozens, but for this week’s episode of The Ben Heck Show he’s throwing down the gauntlet and building the smallest Xbox laptop ever. The latest and greatest Xbox laptop build is based around the newest and smallest $199 4 Gig [...]

Chaos Communication Congress 19th (19C3) 2002 Abstract: Microsoft went to some lengths to ensure that only approved code could be run on their 'Microsoft-only' PC, the Xbox. The talk gives an overview of the Xbox hardware components, and a detailed background into the Xbox 'security' architecture of the Xbox, and how the chain of trust was defeated using custom hardware. Also covered in detail is Microsoft's recent changes to the boot crypto using Palladium-style hash methods, and how this was broken by our team. We will also talk briefly about TCPA/Palladium, the implications and its possible future as well as the process of porting Linux.

It sounds like [Andrew] is trying to build a Pavlovian response into his behavior when it comes to online gaming. He wants to make sure he doesn’t miss out when all his friends are online, so he built this traffic signal to monitor Xbox Live activity. It will illuminate the lights, and drive the meters [...]

Chaos Communication Congress 22th (22C3) 2005 Abstract: A lot about Xbox hacking has been published earlier. This talk summarizes all this, explains some very cool new hacks and analyzes the 15 mistakes Microsoft made in the Xbox security system. It also gives an introduction on the Xbox 360. We have made talks on the Xbox security on 19C3 and 20C3. One might think that there is nothing new about Xbox hacking, and in a way that is true - there is few really new information, but a lot of information that the Xbox Linux Project has never published earlier: For example, it has never been revealed how easily the "Xbox V1.1" has been hacked - so that Microsoft would be unable to fix it, and we could use this method for future Xboxes. (The specific flaw of the x86 architecture that is responsible for this can possibly be used to circumvent any Trusted Computing BIOS!) The talk also summarizes all hacks that have been done and all flaws that have been found in the Xbox security system. It analyzes how Microsoft designed the security system and explains the 15 mistakes they made. Fifteen mistakes... in a video game console security system... 7 mistakes in the design, 6 mistakes in the implementation and 2 mistakes in their policies. And these are *types* of mistakes - they made several mistakes more than once, in different fields. In the remaining time, we will talk about the Xbox 360 security system. The release date of the Xbox is late November, just one month before the 22C3, but we are certain that we will still be able to present a lot of interesting information about the Xbox 360 security system as well as approaches to hacking it.

Chaos Communication Congress 23th (23C3) 2006 Abstract: "Next Generation" gaming consoles should not be limited to games, they have powerful hardware which we want to exploit for our needs. The talk gives a hardware overview of each of the 3 consoles, an overview of their security systems, as well as an update on hacking the Xbox 360, which has been on the market for about a year. The Microsoft Xbox 360, the Sony Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii belong to the seventh generation of gaming consoles, having GHz-class CPUs and hundreds of megabytes of RAM. While the Xbox 360 has been released roughly a year ago, and some hacking has already gone on, the Playstation 3 and the Wii will only be released in November 2006, so they will be brand-new at the time of the talk. Usual news sources focus on the features useful for gaming - this talk of course will focus on what we hackers really need. It evaluates possible attack points to execute homebrew code and professional operating systems. For the two systems that have just been released, you certainly cannot expect a working hack, but the basics of the security system will be explained, and it will be compared to existing systems implemented by previous consoles.

Wow, it’s amazing what [Carl] was able to build using an Xbox 360 control PCB as the base for his robot. His forum posts just touches the surface of the build, but he linked to a PDF file which has the full details. This build basically attaches sensors and replacement motors to the controller board… [...]

Chaos Communication Congress 24th (24C3) 2007 Abstract: 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.

Chaos Communication Congress 27th (27C3) 2010 Abstract: Over 70 million Wiis, over 40 million Xbox 360s and over 35 million Playstation 3s have been sold in the last few years. That makes over 145 million embedded devices out there and most of them are just used to play games. But what can you do with them if you don't like playing games? You hack them to make them run your own code of course! We're going to talk about the various hacks that you can use to gain control of your hardware and make it do what you want it to do. 2010 saw the first hacks for the Playstation 3, soon after Sony removed Other OS functionality. We will detail the operation of current PS3 exploits, show a few new ones and explain where and how Sony went wrong when designing its security system, and show how these holes can be used to gain control over the system and bring Linux back to the PS3. We will also go over hacks for the other consoles, including the JTAG hack for the Xbox 360 which made running homebrew code more convenient, and the cat-and-mouse games that Nintendo played with us to combat Wii hacks. We might also check out the security of their 'new' handheld console - the DSi. Gamers might find this talk interesting even though it is targeted at those who hack (or design) embedded system security. A basic knowledge of crypto is therefore assumed. We will also be present in the Hackcenter before and after the presentation for those of you who are interested in learning more about the subject.

This wiring nightmare lets [H. Smeitink] map all the buttons from an Xbox 360 controller to his PC. It gives him the ability to push control input from his PC to the console. But it goes a step further than that because it actually acts as a pass-through device. He connected a wired controller to [...]
