Sembra che le demo disk che girano in tutti i kiosk in esposizione sui centri commerciali abbiano qualcosa di particolare: il demo, contenuto in un dvd e che presenta alcune demo giocabili come Kameo, King Kong e Call of Duty 2, è infatti privo di protezioni (e per di più i file che lo compongono solo sprovvisti di firma).
Una svista che a Microsoft potrebbe costare carissimo in quanto questi file potrebbero essere usati per studiare possibili exploit che comprometterebbero la sicurezza della console; una svista forse frutto della necessità di far uscire queste demo il prima possibile nei grandi centri commerciali, una svista che per ora consente di avere tra le mani la prima ISO giocabile direttamente da DVD-R senza alcuna modifica.
In quanto la demo è di proprietà intellettuale di Microsoft, ricordiamo che possedere suddetta ISO è illegale e civilmente perseguibile.
Riportiamo comunque quanto il Team Pi ha dichiarato all'interno del file .nfo che accompagna la release del Kiosk Demo:
YES YOU CAN BURN THIS ISO AND PLAY IT IN YOUR XBOX-360 ***
Microsoft left us with this blanket statement:
"Xbox 360 retail kiosks have started arriving at retailers.
Due to the nature of the distribution process, not all kiosks
are hitting simultaneously, but are continuing to pop up in
retailers across the country in the coming weeks.
The kiosks are designed for a retail environment and feature
game samples, game trailers and product information."
Team Pi leaves you with this Pillow statement:
"It seems Microsoft was in such a hurry to get this stuff out
that they forgot to set the media protection on this disc.
This leaves hackers with the posibility to hack around with
this disc that load from a normal DVDR5 backup! - Team Pi
also notes that the all datafiles on this disc isn't signed in
any way, and will allow for extensive modification for producing
exploits to further our efford to hack this box!"
Playable (hackable) games on this disc:
Call of Duty 2, Hexic, Kameo, King Kong.
Also includes lots of game and accessory demos in video format.
Nothing ripped, just foreign videos were downsampled to fit
onto a normal DVDR5!
YES you can run this! Burn the iso, put it into your xbox and
be very amazed... Next, think of the posibilities of hacking
this little demo disc that we might start running code on
the retail xbox 360's ! :)
So the second task is done. We hope this encourages all hackers,
coders and crackers out there to take up the challenge.
Enjoy!
Special note to the Clear kids: Yes, we are old and lazy, and no,
we are not going to do some scene war against you. Life is too
short for that, and our dicks are allready large enough :)
Keep up the hard work!
Pi Putting the 360' Spin on the Xbox :-)
