Famous XBOX Hackers Help Microsoft Nix Homebrew Launching Exploit
Bunnie, Mist and Tmbinc attended a Microsoft Security Conference and had a chance to meet with the lead designer of the XBOX 360's security. On the more disturbing side is it came to the publics attention that these hackers worked with Microsoft to fix an exploit that was found to allow users to boot homebrew on the XBOX 360.
"It was quite an honor to meet the man who designed such an excellent security system. We had a lot of questions for him, and he was very friendly. I guess since we have given our talk now, there is no more secret about it, some of the folks in the picture above were part of the team that published the February 2007 Xbox360 Hypervisor Priviledge Escalation Vulnerability. Fortunately, Microsoft was very receptive to working with us to fix the vulnerability before it was published and in the end it was a constructive exercise for all parties involved."
