Subject: Get this before MSFT does... (XBOX cracking @ MIT)

This guy was quite clever.  He sniffed the bus between the northbridge and
southbridge on the XBOX motherboard to discover the secret boot sector &
code that prevents anyone from using an XBOX (a pretty reasonable general
purpose computer actually), to run Linux or whatever.

His paper is at:
http://web.mit.edu/bunnie/www/proj/anatak/AIM-2002-008.pdf

But MSFT is pressuring him to take it down, so if you want to read how he
did it, do it soon...
   Best regards,
