Wow, very exciting news.

For those of you that don't understand what the significance of Rootkit is there is a decent wiki on it.

Finally! C4, you have proven the best way to utilize root privileges on the Xbox 360 DVD drive.


You're becoming my favorite out of the #'s

So does this mean that by using a rootkit we would need to install sort of a chip in the dvd drive or something like that?

Thats what I understood after checking the Wiki.

Correct me if Im wrong guys.

Yes this is for 360 Slim with Lite-on. It is very probable that the tools we already have to hack old 360 drives is all we will need. Just wait and see i guess.

This hack is for the DVD drive so your post does not belong in this topic. But sure if we had a dashboard hack for the new dash we could do something like the jtag hack i guess.

From the wiki "A rootkit is software" so my understanding is he does this all from the drive firmware he made.

Wow, sounds like pretty big news. Seems like kind of a risky announcement unless he's confident in this being a sustainable exploitable for future dashboards to come.

Writing an undetectable rootkit for a piece of firmware that is actively trying to detect modifications and has been in development for many years is a pretty difficult task. I doubt the people complaining "why is it taking so long" fully appreciate just how difficult it is, but full credit to c4eva for accomplishing this.

It remains to be seen however if it is truly undetectable, I'd be willing to bet a system update is able to detect it at some point in the future.

Regardless, I think AP2.5 will pretty much bring an end to playing backups. Everytime there is a system update people will need to re-burn all their discs with new challenges. For me it's not an issue, as I only play one game a month for a couple days - but for people with large libraries, be prepared to do a lot of re-burning. Perhaps rewritable DVDs are the way of the future.

Theres only some games they can add it to, And there will also be a limit of how many games it can be enabled on at a time since its taking up nand space.

AP2.5 is a failed attempt to stop backups unless they find the way that the challenges are getting ripped from the disk and block it that way but then you still have the old drives that dont support it or a firmware can be made but it wont be live safe.

Awesome news, can't wait to flash my slim. Dont really care about live.

I know this might be off topic but its related to hardware somehow. If i have a hacked 250 gig hard drive in my 4gb slim, can i get banned for using "non xbox certified" hardware?

You can get banned for using it on a phat xbox so I guess slim would be the same. Its just a risk you take.
