I think people need to accually know what there talking about before they start talking...
most of the disscusion is jokes and stuf i know but there are alot of people in the fake firmware threat that have there head up there ass...
but thats just me...
thespecialist is not going to ever release the accual hacked firmware because he has givin the knowlage on how to do to everyone out there that cares to read is thread on the topic...
and when it was said that he will never release it, but there will be a hack for all 30 drives this means that there are other people/tems out there that read the specialist technical disscution on the topic wich in detail discribes in great detail how to do this dvd firmware hack...
other teams have picked this up and are continuing the work that the specailist has starded with this...
thespecailist isnt going to release this hack into the wild because he doesnt want to deal with whatever ms might do o whatever, he has posted his work in his disscution so that people that have the knowladge to reproduce his work will release it...
im not bitching about him not releasing the firmware, but in case he hasnt noticed, he is already in violation of the law by reverse engineering the firmware. if MS cared, they would already have his ass
