The system saw 6 hardware revisions through its short 4 year life span and every single one those included fixes to address security flaws and each of those "fixes" were in turn defeated within weeks of release. There mistakes made in the security for the original XBOX, the biggest of them were probably the basic oversights around implementation of weak and outdated security encryption algorithms used as hashing algorithms. The Original XBOX was released in 2001 and the security of that system was defeated by hardware reverse engineering fairly soon after launch and folks were able to run Linux on the system. its a long read :) Original XBOX (Released 2001) So - here is a hopefully informative write up of my Journey to figuring out how these guys were running unsigned code in 2011 on a XBOX 360. I'm fairly well versed with original XBOX and writing home-brew code for it 20 years ago, but I have since not spent much time on the XBOX 360 or XBOX One platforms beyond tons of gaming and I have always been interrested in how exactly the XBOX 360 security was defeated.
