Dude, just run the program and get the satisfaction that you are helping. I'm not doing this to let everyone know I did more, I do it because I want to help out for the cause. |
i knew some fucker was going to say this. but if you have 3 high-end pc's going at it, and see that someone with ONE sub 1ghz pc is 10x higher than you, wouldn't it piss you off?

also, don't be a dumbass. there are 5 xbox's to be given away. if they are given to the people with the slowest pc's/least commitment, then i'd be vERY VERY pissed!

and if it came down to it, sure, take 5 hours on the 600mhz. why have the faster cpu's suffer???

| so what are the chances of the rc4 key being brute forced? i mean, how many digits long is it and how many possible combinations of numbers need to be tested? any idea how long it'll take to crack judging from the statistics? i currently have 7 computers running to help out and just wanna know if it's really worth trying.. |
it's a rsa key , not rc4. (bios & eeprom are rc4).
chance that we find it this way are near really near 0%
To check all possinilities it would probably take million or billion of years even with alot of cpu's.
But while other people are trying to hack it another way (stack overflow , ...) it doesn't hurt to try this. Chances are extemely small , but existent.

that should be everyone with a:

*shrug* i already have an xbox. the key is what's important imo.. anyway.. i'm running it on 2 machines, one is a 500 celly and the other a athlonxp 1800+, and the athlon is finishing more than the celly.. so i don't see a prob..

click on settings-->preferences. on the first sliding bar you see, move it over to 70 percent for comfort level, 90 for dual purpose [support neo and work on pc] and 100 is pretty much all dedicated to neo, except for very basic work like msword, internet explore, icq, and such. no video editing, macromedia flash, games, or shit.
also, set "neo client priority level" to normal.
also fill in your personal informatio. Settings-->user information.
if it still didn't work, let us know.

Dunno what's wrong with those guys doing 100's per hour - I hope they will fix it soon , or atleast give more info about the issue.
btw: I want to thank you all for joining our team and reaching already 1.3727years of cpu-time!
For now , don't look at the #packets , it's complete bs.

It reminds me of the PSX scheme of using some 'bad blocks' that cant be replicated on consumer equipment.
You could maybe temporarily mod with an xecuter, copy linux to the HDD, then remove the mod - but you can't replace/change the xbox BIOS in RAM so you'd never be able to boot backups or homebrewed stuff off of disc. So if you have to mod to copy an xbe to the HDD, why not just flash the TSOP anyways?
Now, what's my point? Ask yourself who would benefit from the key being released? Big-time commercial piracy. You'd need a real press to replicate xDVDs - the kind the big Hong Kong pirates have. So they can flood the streets with silvers of Halo that run on unmodified consoles. Believe me, this would be BAD BAD BAD BAD for all of us. Not only would it likely shorten xbox' life (like it did dreamcast's), but it makes every modder/hacker look like they're in cahoots with organized criminal elements.
A small hacker/modding community can be tolerated. Large-scale piracy wont be.
Anything the average guy like us could do with the key would mean modding, copying something to HDD, then removing the mod - kinda pointless.
Anyhow, that's just my .02

Actually, the security "stuff" simply proves to the Xbox that the disc is a specific type of media, and the xbe is SIGNED FOR THAT MEDIA. Changing the media type, so that the program can run from a DVD-R, for example, changes the key.
So getting the private key would certainly enable us to run apps. The apps could be given a media flags value of 0x80ffffff (all media types) then re-signed for a valid key. The software could then be legitimately run from ANY media, HD, DVD-R, CD-RW, memory card, etc... on an unmodified Xbox.
What the 'security stuff' does is prevent HK priates from mass duplicating Xbox games.
