The Hidden Boot Code of the Xbox

or "How to fit three bugs in 512 bytes of security code."
For those without the proper knowlege.. From the article conclusion:
"512 bytes is a very small amount of code (it fits on a single sheet of paper!), compared to the megabytes of code contained in software like Windows, Internet Explorer or Internet Information Server. Three bugs within these 512 bytes compromised the security completely - a bunch of hackers found them within days after first looking at the code. Why hasn't Microsoft Corp. been able to do the same? Why?"

Its amazing, the things the "geniouses" at MS can do!!
