Many people used to tell me exactly the same.
I didn't understand what they were talking about until I happened to live with a guy studying at medical school and he invited fellow students at our dorm.
First, he thinks that he is so smart that he has invented an approach that was in fact tried by many hackers for months.
Second, if this guy was not full of it, he would know that the private key is not anywhere in the XBOX, so no power analysis or anything will leak the key.
IglooFTP did that some years ago. Some friends had send lot of patches to make a working solaris version and provided a lot of bug reports. But then they closed the source and made it pay software and linux only.
>Well if it is I hope they know that safedisc copy protection can in fact be copied by using an app called CloneCD.
This post intention is not to be a troll, but again most posts here are full of sh**.
First, I would be really happy if the parent poster could tell me how to copy "SAFEDISC 2" disks. (FYI look at discussions on www.daemon-tools.com for example).
Secondly people saying that an easy way to copy a CD is to do a bit-bit copy are full of shit again. CDs and CDRs don't have the same lead-in information. No drive can spit exact bit-bit information. I don't want to get to technical, but a CD HAS to be "parsed" to be copied. CD have a lead-in and a TOC which have to be read to find out where the audio information is stored. CD are also made of several channels and sub-channels encoding synch, tracks, gap, stereo/mono and other information. In fact it is very complicated.
Other people said it is not possible to put a protection that will not need to upgrade tour CD player. As a poster mentionned there was a protection scheme used on some records. I personnaly have a protected CD of HIM. I looked at it and the protection is that the address of the lead-out track is fake and is at 30 seconds from the beginning of the disc, misleading most CD-ROMs in the calculation of the CD length and thus making them spit an "ILLEGAL ADDRESS" error after 30 seconds. Home Cd players normally don't care about that. It is a pain to copy (but doable).
In an economy class, we have gone through one of this Nigerian scam affairs that made the first column in my country because the victim commited suicide.
I will try to remember as much as I can.
First the guys send you the mail or letter. Then they come to your house, well dressed and with some sort of official papers to sign or whatever.
Then there are some "complications". The guys need some money to sort out "administrative fees".
In the next step you get invited in the country to sign other papers at the bank. Usually at this point you get robbed/kidnapped/whatever and you need to empty you bank accounts to be free.
Finally when you get back home, they will blackmail you or threaten to kill you for more money.
I recall that mp3 actually became a standard (as in everybody uses it, not as in MPEG consortium) near 1995-1996 when warez groups started distributing brand new albums in MP3 format.
Just wait until some some music warez groups are convinced to switch to org and it will become the standard (this worked with RAR archives and DivX:-)).
The only thing is that warez groups don't care about patents, licensing or anything, so they might not see the interest to move to ogg.

I could not understand any single sentence.
It is just a bunch of simple IDA pro plugins and it will give you a false sense of security.
Halvar has published is own open source version called BugScam on sourceforge
>You read the book, didn't you? So you should have been prepared for the ents to speak slowly, and understand why they do.
Personnaly, even if the book says that the ents speak slowly, I don't start reading slowly.

listening to feedback
That's the problem I saw with many unsuccesfull Open Source software. The developpers were arrogant and not listening to feedback.
Please mod this guy down.

Do you know the difference between a pr0n movie and a Britney Spears video ?
The music is better in the porn movie.
I second that. Security Engineering is the best and most entertaining security book that I have ever read.
I moderated this insightfull comment as Troll by a wheelmouse accident, so I post to undo that.
That means that you do not read the articles do you ?
Got the same scam via SMS in switzerland too.
Almost called, I thought it might be my GF.
I found a bug in the game that makes it really easy to finish the last battle.
The AI cannot detect "tree buildings" like "tree of life" when they are uprooted.
So just put a dozen of uprooted trees in front of the gate, destroy every other building and troop and wait 45 minutes.
Game finished.
>After all, fuel cells create energy from hydrogen and run cool, right?
Energy is never created nor destroyed.
Check this link (French) or this one (German).
A real shame
In the same vein, you have Colobot.
You have to program robots in a C and logo like language to make them do some tasks like explore a planet.
The primary goal of the game was to teach programming to kids.
It looks quite childish at first, but in fact it is really entertaining.
You were not talking about Despair.Inc., were you?
Red Alert 2.
And I mean a real 1-1 copy, not a crack.
Because cracks just remove the check, not the protection, and any subsequent patch will still be protected.
The *but* makes the difference.
Only a limited number of brands can copy them, and only with cetain media.
That is enough to say it is successful against your casual momma pirate.

That how it works as far as I remember.

Well, at first Windows might look as a virus because it replicates very fast and might slow or destroy your system.
But a virus as a lot of qualities Windows doesn't have like:
- beeing small
- beeing efficient
- staying unnoticed
Sorry, I should have used extrans mode
filtering script tags in far from enough.
There are numerous ways to have script executed in a page.
to name few:
<script language=javascript>alert('foo')</script>
<img src="javascript:alert('foo')">
<img src="mocha:"alert('foo');>
<img src="" onload="alert('foo')">
btw if IE finds a \0 anywhere in a page it is just stripped out. Your parser would have to take this into account.
