SPPV "One skipped the loop where the ARM Cortex memory protection was setup." The XBOX One doesnt use an Arm Cortex CPU it uses AMD. Nice try though Reply

Math Geek that Lee guy said: So… 13 years later, its hacked… thats not news and it was most likely hacked way sooner but nobody wanted to say something. the point of hacking it is to do something with it once it is hacked. had it been done before, we'd know cause we'd have ROMs and plenty of other fun stuff to do with it. there is no reason for anyone to go through the trouble of finding the exploit to not tell anyone. that's just not how the world works 🙂 Reply

alrighty_then Such determination, and proof the cat-and-mouse game has no limits. This is a good discovery on 2 levels, first Microsoft got the desired protection so they're happy, but 2nd now a new method is known which is beneficial for both attackers and those hoping to defend future consoles from the attack. Neato. Reply

That article, dated April 2014 quotes AMD as saying that they will be being released for the first time later that year for retail and commercial clients but the X1 was 2013. If M$/XBOX was already buying them back would have had to have been 2011 or so at least for it to be included in the X1 then somebody is mistaken. Either AMDs spokesperson is giving erroneous info or there isnt a co-processor Reply
