Bunnie's Adventures Hacking the Xbox

Interesting and often amusing description of how an MIT student hacked Microsoft's Xbox. This is purely a geek read but copyright policy people might want to have a look at the author's defense against (the inevitable) charges under the DCMA: "You are actually allowed by law to reverse engineer copyrighted code so long as it is necessary to discover the ideas or functional elements behind the code (still, I'm not allowed to post copyrighted code for free distribution). Hey, microsoft...what are the ideas and functional elements behind your BIOS ROM? ... hmm...patent search turns up nil on the Xbox...guess we'll just have to reverse engineer it." CRLF
