Xlife: With hoevelen you have worked for the hack? The age question is frequently most indiscreet, but in this case some which I want answer, complete, I am 30 years.Ģ. Xlife: Proposal you even to the visitors of Xlife.Netherlands (who are you, what does you for work, age etc.). * He loves how his country is represented in the Xbox hacker scene, and hopes to see more natives around the scene.Ĭhoppy Translation of the Interview from ġ. He doesn't want to take the moral high ground, the previous saying was from an old Amiga release group.

* Towards the end of the interview he adds, any game worth playing is a game worth buying. * He has no plans to go hacking any other parts of the Xbox 360, so Microsoft can breathe a sigh of relief over that one. * TS reassures everyone the video is not fake, for example look at the outer side of the disc that shows that the security placeholder data is read and if this as a fake in the video he only could fake it with a lot of work and very expensive equipment. * TS went dived straight into the Xbox 360 firmware when looking for an exploit, he was very knowledgable in this area after the origial Xbox and was confident of finding a weak link in there. I guess in simiar fashion as to what is going on between Sony firmware updates and homebrew software blocking. * If other people can manage to replicate the Xbox 360 firmware hack, a cat and mouse game will develop between the hackers and Microsoft live updates. To create emulation to allow universal Xbox 360 backups to be run without being detected is out of their scope. * Microsoft can easily halt the firmware hack via as a back-up is much different to original, each and every one is different. * The firmware hack is way beyond the average user as specialist (cool pun eh ?) is required as well as correlating hardware. * TS and the rest of the contributors motivation was a personal challenge to find the exploits on the Xbox 360 and expore if it really was hack-proof.

* They decided to really get stuck into hacking the Xbox 360, after Microsoft reps made statements about how hack-proof the Xbox 360 would be.

* TS and his team began looking at the original Xbox firmware last year, and had a hunch their were similar patterns with the Xbox 360 firmware, there previous work on the original Xbox resulted in knowledge spill-overs with regards to Hacking the Xbox 360 firmware. * The Specialist is 30 years old and is of Dutch origin, his occupation was not revealed in the interview.
