oh and then this...
Stolen X-Box 360 demo disc self-booting ISO on the net
According to information gleaned from around the web, a couple things have happened. For one, it is being reported that due to the rapid deployment of Xbox 360 kiosks to retail, that an "unprotected" DVD demo disc was produced by Microsoft, to show off the capabilities of the machine. Somehow, someone was able to "procure" said disc and has also copied it. In addition, it has been leaked to the Internet.
Reminiscent of the old SEGA DreamCast days, today the world"s first self-booting X-Box 360 iSO Image hit the net!X-Box 360 retail kiosks have started arriving at retailers. Due to the nature of the distribution process, not all kiosks are hitting simultaneously, but are continuing to pop up in retailers across the country in the coming weeks.
The kiosks are designed for a retail environment and feature game samples, game trailers and product information. Team PI leaves you with this Pillow statement: It seems Micro$oft was in such a hurry to get this stuff out that they forgot to set the media protection on this disc.
This leaves hackers with the posibility to hack around with this disc that load from a normal DVDR5 backup! - Team PI also notes that the all datafiles on this disc isn"t signed in any way, and will allow for extensive modification for producing exploits to further our efford to hack this box!
This so called demo disc has reportedly been created with a number of interesting features. For instance the disc contains games like Call of Duty 2, Hexic, Kameo, King Kong along with demos and videos of games, downsized to fit the disc. The report goes on to say that if you can find the ISO on the Net, you can burn it, place it in your Xbox 360 and boot with it. Then they say, set back and watch. Such a disc is an important find for those out there into hacking. But, due to the hardware involved in the creation of the Xbox, what this information would lead to in the future as far as understanding the Xbox 360 and how it works is unknown. However, it certainly opens some doors for the inquisitive among us.
There is some talk about using code from this disc, which apparently bypasses some of the security measures on the Xbox 360 and try to merge it into games already floating around the Internet. The thought being that one could even make any game play on the Xbox 360. Who knows?
Note: I have found this disc on the net, took me bout 2 minutes, so if this is something you want, want take a look, it is widely available by now.
