Console and phone manufacturers have chased this dream for decades and each and every one has been hacked to run arbitrary code and applications that are supposed to ‘only run on trusted hardware’.
You can make it difficult but defeating an attacker who can touch the hardware is for all intents and purposes impossible.
- mjg59 5y agoWhere are the hacks that let you run arbitrary code on an Xbox One running current firmware?
- tinus_hn 5y agoDo you think they will never exist? edit I found that Microsoft did the smart thing like Sony did with the original PS3 and allowed people to run their own code (but not XBox games) on their consoles, removing a large incentive for people hacking the console. That doesn’t automatically make the security watertight though.
- mjg59 5y ago"Never" is a strong word, but given that they're already previous generation devices and haven't been properly compromised yet, it wouldn't surprise me.
