This idea has been touted back and forth and still the same answer keeps comming out.

Its not the answer, its just not fesiable to think about

I got my numbers straight from the RSA website.

They are the experts in crypto.. elsewhere on their site:

http://www.rsasecuri...ode.asp?id=2088

RSA-512 was brute forced in 1999. By estimation RSA-1024 will be brute forced in 2037

RSA-512 took about 2 years to crack.
Thus,
576 bits will take 10.9 times as long as RSA-512 and require 3.3 times the memory.
768 bits will take 6100 times as long as RSA-512 and require 77 times the memory.
1024 bits will take 7 million times as long as RSA-512 and require 2650 times the memory.
2048 bites will take 9 x 10^15 times as long as RSA-512 and require 9 x 10^7 times the memory

To put this in perspective, it would require about 1.4 billion 500 MHz machines, each with about 170 Gbytes of memory to do the sieving for a 1024-bit number in the same time as RSA-512.

And it is not linear.. it does not take 1/3 the number of machines if they were 1.5Ghz.. it trakes more then that...

lol i remember starting that whole cracking thread of how long it would take lol. oh good n00b times. i read the title of this thread and htought aha, been there. done tht.

I have lost count the number of times I have seen these topics in the last 8 months.

Its just not going to happen and this topic should never have gotten to 2 pages.

I wish someone would close it off once and for all and make a sticky saying its never going to happen

This thread is unofficially closed

by me... oh wait i'm not a Mod or even an unofficial Mod... oh crap it stays open.

what woudl be nice and i dont think this will ever happen is for MS to to change there current public key for retail games to run. and stop this DVD firmware hack too and send us an update to allow homebrew, no i dont meen pirated games because that would be a bad thing. but giving us the option to run homebrew would be nice. but if you fudge up your xbox in running homebrew then you cant get support on your xbox360.

that seems fair enough. iam sure MS woudl like to see what people can realy do with the xbox360 other than have it just play games.

It will never happen. Our software can potentially compete with official MS software. We don't pay licensing fees or worry about legal trouble since our software was never legal to begin with. If it ran legally on MS xbox that means trouble for someone... but who? Ms isn't going to take any of these chances. They want to control our xbox experience so they can collect every possible penny.
