I've published some documentation online about JTAG on the Xbox One: xboxoneresearch.github.io/wiki/hardware/… #XboxOne #Hacking #Xbox

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

It's absurd how much Mirror's Edge still remains one of the best video game I've played to this day. Back in the day, I liked Faith as a protagonist so much I wanted a tattoo just like hers. Fast forward 17 years and yep, she's still cool as hell

It would be so funny if Nintendo sued the US government

@Carnavs I was one of the first reviewers to have the initial batch samples and install both the SX Core and SX Lite (altho i killed one switch lite in the process xd), it was crazy, but once installed I gotta give credit that they worked flawlessly

@TorusHyperV Would’ve loved to get my hands on one of these tbh

Found an ancient relic

@Console_Hax Yeah 😂 I gotta desolder the modchip, restore a nand dump, and update the OS! I'm on like 8.0.0 LOL (what is that from like 2019 or something idk)

@TorusHyperV lol support expired though :P

@W00fer All of your retail phat consoles out there should identify as B0, and thats OK

@TorusHyperV You mention B0 but in your tool it's A0? What is the one we need?

I mightve spread bad information so gotta correct. A few reports indicate some Day1 consoles technically have a B0 revision SoC. My timeline for when the AMD bl was ditched is off Despite that, the advice to get a retail Day1 console for the exploit/hacks is still sound, imo

@FiPE_ZOE Not really, but iirc with elevation on SystemOS you could just read F:\ to dump the flash

@TorusHyperV Good stuff 🙏 Is there a written guide somewhere for the devmode route?

@AOTCBLACKGUNNER There's been a bunch for SystemOS in devmode, for example: xboxoneresearch.github.io/wiki/exploits/…

@TorusHyperV Is there a public exploit for systemos?

@AOTCBLACKGUNNER Yes, with code execution you can read the cpuid. Also if you dump the nand (you need dev mode + a SystemOS elevation exploit) you can upload it to the website

@TorusHyperV Can you get that info in dev mode?

This is... interesting, btw. Depending on how they pull this move it might be even positive for preservation, we'll see...

Before logic design, evenings were still for hanging out with friends in clubs or local bars. Thanks to COVID and the economic crisis, it has been four years of logic design instead. Lonely nights at the desktop, connected with people on Discord all around the world. That is logic design.

there is a rhetoric in ai rn that vibing and half-assing is the future of technology. do not fall for this psyop. the future is deep understanding and mastery. always has been

The full Minecraft Dungeons github has just been leaked including everything from 2017 to 2021 this is actually insane gofile.io/d/fKXn35

Seen this viral tweet about a portable audio jammer? Looks cool, right? It also looks quite similar to 100s products sold on Alibaba & in spy shops for years. Or as DIY kits for $50 in parts. They use ultrasonic noise to overwhelm very close-by microphones. I'm skeptical about the price tag & way it's being marketed, and I'd like to share why: it seems to me that what differentiates this, aside from the privacy-aligned language, are claims that sound to me like they've developed "novel physics" & use AI to detect microphones. This would be extraordinary and would require equally extraordinary proof if true. I suspect that the reality may be more like using WiFi etc to scan for devices. This is not novel physics. The problem: many of the microphones that people are most worried about don't emit wifi or bluetooth etc. Or could be a phone in airplane mode. Etc. Additional issues around ultrasonic jamming? Complex range limitations, issues with room reflections, fabric absorbing emissions from your jammer, obstructions etc.. A phone in a fabric pocket might not be defeated by this device reliably, for example. Critically also: the range of this kind of tech is the distance between the emitter and the microphone. Not between you and the unwanted microphone. So if you are in a normal size room and the microphone is, say, 3 meters from you in the ceiling, or on the other side of the couch, it might well still hear you clearly. Consider asking your friendly local expert in audio, physics, or security before purchasing or investing in this product. I'm not one of those. Source of my understanding: I spent some time a few years ago planning to assemble such a device and read a lot of papers. I may be wrong in my understanding (or missing something!) and would happily correct if I've misunderstood what they are offering.

Earthonion released a local web based save manager GUI for PS5. Based on c0w-ar's save decryption/encryption. In the web GUI you can decrypt/encrypt PS5 saves to any user on the console. It also seems that PS5 saves work between higher and lower firmware. github.com/earthonion/gar…
