Xbox Hacking Book Prepares to Fly Off Shelves

SecurityFocus posted an article today about a new book that covers hacking the Xbox. The book's author, Andrew "Bunnie" Huang, reports that it's selling well, even though the release date has not yet arrived. Presumably, this is because the book covers soldering techniques and adding features like blue LEDs and modchips to Xboxes, most of which violate the DMCA. If this stuff is interesting to you, you can order a copy from Huang's site. It amazes me that a book such as this could be banned, yet car service manuals can be sold in most bookstores.

The car manuals

Don't tell you how to rig your car so it can take gas out of a pump without the pump charging you, or how to drive through a toll both unprotected.

What suprises me is that books on how to rape people are out there, but you fear this book will get banned.
