- MayeulCThis blogpost makes the point that the advent of the Raspberry Pi microcontroller made it easier to interface with a variety of hardware.And it is true, but the capability was already quite cheap in 2017 and before: fx2 chips can do quite a lot, for instance.I hope Bunnie's Baochip BIO approach will take off in microcontrollers, making that sort of feature more ubiquitous. You can do a lot of things with an ESP32 for instance, but the RP2040 still has an edge for I/O.Also missed the opportunity to mention that the RP2350 itself had its protection defeated by fault injection.Lastly, side channels and fault injection attacks are highly viable for mid-2010 and earlier hardware, but chip designs are hardening against them, for instance forcing a reboot when a glitch is detected. This makes current and next-generation chips harder to attack (see the laser fault injection on RP2350, though this is also being hardened against). It's probably a good thing to some extent (make it harder to duplicate my credit card), but I mourn the loss of control over my own HW.Incidentally, tinkering with the first gen Xbox (which is the security equivalent of a swiss cheese) taught me a lot about software, networking and electronics when I was younger. I hope that future generations will still get to tinker like that.
- merpkzWhat did Microslop change in Xbox One that prevented it from being exploited much in the same way? Afaik Xbone is still undefeated in terms of security, either because it's so good or because it's just uninteresting console to own
- qingcharlesAnd now we have a working permanent softmod. The Xbox 360 hacking scene is basically complete at this point.
- hizlikovboy27Did you check whether the glicthing setup still has any advantage? for example on consoles the software exploit doesnt cover?
- MarkoffTLDR it requires modchip, can't just use software like with all PS3, so why would anyone bother with xbox when you can play PS games?
