adamsappel Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 I saw this guy on The Screen Savers when he first accomplished this. Pretty interesting, but he did say that he had Microsoft's "permission" to crack the security. I guess they couldn't stop him from trying, but it was obvious they were prepared to come down on him hard if it was anything more than an academic exercise.

JTello Posted January 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Mmmm, Joey, are you referring to my inital post, or did you delete someone else's post? I feet this is an important and relevant topic, and I am interesting in keeping the topic on the issue of security, not Xbox hacking. This is the first time I've read about how Microsoft has protected the Xbox. It's interesting in that I've been recently concerned with protection for my computer and it got me to wondering how Microsoft addressed the issue with the box. With the security features Microsoft has implimented, combined with the firewall security of the router hardware I assume most of us are running, how relevant do you guys feel the issue of security regarding the xbxox is?

Camp Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Please do not post anything that is Illegal (mod chips and so forth) or links where to get such items. Anything that is will be deleted. Only warning We can't talk about mod chips? They aren't illegal, are they? Certainly, some of the things people use their mod chips for may be illegal but I don't think it necessary to ban all discussion about the topic. There are some pretty cool and totally legal things one can do with a modded Xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camp, the one problem that is run into with the discussion of mod chips is that the discussion always winds up going in the wrong direction. You are correct in that mod chips are not illegal and there are certain things that can be done with a modded Xbox semi-legally. This is not the point. There are sites setup to discuss this topic and it just so happens that this site is not one of them. If you want to discuss modding Xbox's with other LCVG members than I suggest private messaging them. Mmmm, Joey, are you referring to my inital post, or did you delete someone else's post? Someone else's post was deleted. Your topic is fine, Joel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Yes joel yours was fine. sorry for not clarifying that capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant1 Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Well sorry about that link, didn't realize it would be frowned upon. Although I believe that site to be a wealth of information on anything xbox, not just modding. Joel you got a P.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Well sorry about that link Its not a problem Ant. Scott and Joey covered the issue nicely here as it can be tricky allowing dicussion on modifications in general. No harm done either way.

Metropolis Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 ...some of the things people use their mod chips for may be illegal but I don't think it necessary to ban all discussion about the topic. Similarly with copying DVDs. But that information can be applied to less above-board endeavours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zot Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 There are lots of good and legal things you can do with a modded xbox, I have one that I love to tinker with constantly. It is just like any tool in life, can be used for good or for things not so good (or legal). But Capt, Future, and Buck run this site and if they say no mod talk, then we must respect the request. Doesn't matter why they decide on that course; they agreed, decided, and set forth the rules. So let's not split hairs on why they don't want mod talk, because it really doesn't matter. Da rules are da rules, go find a scene where you can talk about xbox modding elsewhere :green: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Monkey Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Mod talk has even made it into the (geek) mainstream...a few weeks ago I saw TechTV do a segment on how to install a mod! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant1 Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Techtv did a 5 segment special on xbox that can be viewed on their site, i would link but... do some digging and it'll come up easy enough. Keep in mind stuff has progressed since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
