Are you referring to the original Xbox? Modchips hit the scene for that in ~ 2 years after release. It's not exactly what I would consider a basis for secure computing. Or maybe you are just referencing the procedures "main memory was encrypted by the on-CPU controller. Obviously, no open JTAGs" should be ratified to create a basis for secure computing, a checklist of things to do/prevent before considering a device "Secure".
- DenisM 8y agoXBox 360 had the on-CPU memory controller with encryption, and it was very tamper-resistant overall. A good model to follow.
- 394549 8y agoIIRC, the original XBox made the assumption that the main bus was secure due to its high-speed, which turned out to be false. That was one of the few things that was unencrypted, and it offered a way in.
- dawnerd 8y agoDidn't even need a modchip. There was a technique where you could softmod by simply unplugging the ide harddrive right after boot and hot plugging it into a desktop. https://www.reddit.com/r/originalxbox/wiki/hotswap https://www.reddit.com/r/originalxbox/wiki/hotswap
- jacob019 8y agoAh the old softmod, with the 007 game as I recall. Made a great party trick.
