Andrew (bunnie) Huang is also the first person to hack the original Microsoft XBox. He wrote a book about it and it's a great read for software hackers wondering how a knowledgable person would go about hacking hardware.

He also has a pretty cool blog, although it's not always updated on time, he hosts a monthly contest called "Name That Ware" where he posts close-up pics of a circuit board (or chip xray) and people guess what it is.

- rosstafarian 14y agoAnother of his hacks that i found quite notable was a man-in-the-middle attack on HDCP-secured connections to overlay video in any HDMI video stream and gave a nice talk about it.[1] [1]http://hackaday.com/2012/01/21/overlaying-video-on-encrypted-hdmi-connections/ http://hackaday.com/2012/01/21/overlaying-video-on-encrypted...
- shabble 14y agoThe neatest part about the HDCP hack is that all the overlay stuff is done on-the-fly in the FPGA, without any easy way to actually dump out the unencrypted content. That makes it much harder to use for actual DRM stripping, and thus easier to argue that it doesn't qualify as a DMCA circumvention tool.
