Loophole In Windows Random Number Generator
« on: November 13, 2007, 09:57:00 AM »
Xbox 360's OS has its root in the OS of the original Xbox (which is derivate from Windows 2000). IF the 360 is using the same pseudo-random number generator algorithm used in Windows 2000 would we be able to figure out the cryptographic keys?
