Synopsis
This hands-on guide to hacking begins with step-by-step tutorials on hardware modifications that teach basic hacking techniques as well as essential reverse engineering skills. The book progresses into a discussion of the Xbox security mechanisms and other advanced hacking topics, with an emphasis on educating the readers on the important subjects of computer security and reverse engineering. Hacking the Xbox includes numerous practical guides, such as where to get hacking gear, soldering techniques, debugging tips and an Xbox hardware reference guide. Hacking the Xbox also confronts the social and political issues facing today's hacker by looking forward and discussing the impact of today's legal challenges on legitimate reverse engineering activities. The book includes a chapter written by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) about the rights and responsibilities of hackers, and concludes by discussing the latest trends and vulnerabilities in secure PC platforms., This hands-on guide to hacking was canceled by the original publisher out of fear of DMCA-related lawsuits. Following the author's self-publication of the book (during which time he sold thousands directly), Hacking the Xbox is now brought to you by No Starch Press. Hacking the Xbox begins with a few step-by-step tutorials on hardware modifications that teach basic hacking techniques as well as essential reverse-engineering skills. It progresses into a discussion of the Xbox security mechanisms and other advanced hacking topics, emphasizing the important subjects of computer security and reverse engineering. The book includes numerous practical guides, such as where to get hacking gear, soldering techniques, debugging tips, and an Xbox hardware reference guide. Hacking the Xbox confronts the social and political issues facing today's hacker, and introduces readers to the humans behind the hacks through several interviews with master hackers. It looks at the potential impact of today's, Microsoft has sold over 8 million units of its Xbox game system. The Xbox itself is essentially a desktop PC and it can be used as one, for a fraction of the cost, once modified. When hacking the Xbox, the reader takes it apart to determine how it works (reverse engineers it), and can then modify it and put it to a different use. Many people ......, Microsoft has sold over 8 million units of its Xbox game system. The Xbox itself is essentially a desktop PC and it can be used as one, for a fraction of the cost, once modified. When hacking the Xbox, the reader takes it apart to determine how it works (reverse engineers it), and can then modify it and put it to a different use. Many people believe that reverse engineering is a protected right, but the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) makes certain types of reverse engineering illegal, hence the controversy surrounding this book. We are confident there is nothing illegal in this book, and this will ultimately be an issue of free speech and First Amendment rights, which will add to the book's visibility.
