Well you'll have to wait, because it will probably never happen.

i have been seeing some of the ways people are extracting liteon keys and invloves rediculous amounts of steps... anyways will the lite on be as secure as the other drives on live? or does the method of extracting the keys on it pose an extra threat to be detected?

No matter what, if you have a liteon drive in your console, you MUST extract the keys from it before you can either flash that drive with iXtreme, or to replace the drive with another drive.
(for any drive for that matter)

If you do not extract your keys using some method, you will not be able to flash the drive, nor replace it with another.

As someone who's using 1.41 on a BENQ, is it still safe to use 1.41 on with xbox live connected? Or should I wait for 1.5 before I start downloading stuff from the market with a backup in?

Not sure if there is a better thread to ask such question, but I would say you're fine for now. It never has been safe, but rather "safe", if that makes sense.

Just update to latest firmware as it becomes available. I would avise against having a backup in your drive any time that you're not playing it, if you want to be paranoid.

Continue as you are, I'm fairly sure MS has not changed any detection methods in the past few weeks, especially for BenQ originals, so you're as safe as before.

Awesome news indeed. Never thought we'd see a liteon firmware!

What a Christmas present!

they didn't include this but spoofed lite ones are Unsafe, they have a hidden command

Damn, I just swapped bunch of Lites too.

Can you give us more info on this hidden command?

Does anybody know if the 1.5 for all other drives will add any other security precautions from being detected? Or is this solely for spoofing purposes?

If it adds security, I might need to get my connectivity kit back from a friend!

Otherwise I just might stick with "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" logic.

Also, so there is no confusion, this was not done by just c4e.

Well, what exactly do you mean with "this"?

QUOTE(Iriez @ Dec 9 2008, 07:32 AM)

This was a project that took a VERY large, and a extremely talented team of hackers.

According to C4E´s statements in the IRC the firmware was taken
hands on by decapping and microscopic readout.
Decapping of chips with readout-service is offered by specialized
firms for about 300US$ per chip. So in fact to get the firmware
was no big deal if you have (at least) the money.

The flashing on the other hand is done in a common way according
to C4E. So that was also really no big deal.

To hack the firmware I do think that C4E is competent enough to do
the job alone. One has to remember that he has done it 3 times
before on different drivetypes. So I guess he has enough experience
to (again) find the command dispatcher in the FW and change the well
known commands to produce the iXtreme FW.

When I say hackers, I mean the REAL kind.

Does exist an unreal kind of hackers?

Do you know anything about hackers?

Can you jam with the Console-Cowboys in cyberspace?
Ever read 'Neuromancer?'
Ever experienced the New Wave, Next Wave, Green Wave, or Cyberpunk?

I didn't think so.

What are we going to do with all these liteon drives when were done with them. Well its always good to have a back up drive for each box i guess.

It wasn't hard to get the keys. Got an RS232 to TTL 3V - 5.5V converter kit for $11.25 shipped... there's at least a couple good guides that are easy to find. It's very easy if you've ever soldered anything before. There are lots of options for the RS232 converter if you look.. even solder-less options.
Here's mine: http://www.nkcelectr...vert232356.html

Here's a URL from the topic in #fw
It might answer some of your questions.

Congrats, guys, you've done it again. I'd offer something more, but alas, I have no hardware engineering skills whatsoever. Thanks for all the hard work
