CNET | Interview, Andrew 'Bunnie' Huang - DMCA, XBox Hacking, Silenced Researchers
Topic: Computer Security 4:33 am EDT, Apr 16, 2003

] Taking a break from working on his doctoral thesis,
] Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) graduate
] student Andrew "Bunnie" Huang decided that it might
] be fun to poke around the security systems protecting
] Microsoft's Xbox game console.

] I want to put a stake in the ground and say, "Hey, I
] strongly believe what I'm doing is legal and it's
] beneficial for people to know about this stuff." If we
] don't know about it, then the bad guys are going to
] figure it out and they're going to take our lunch. Maybe
] I'm being a fool by saying this, but if someone wants to
] challenge me on this, I think it's something we need to
] talk about in a court of law. I don't know where I'd find
] the resources to defend myself. If I am taken to court,
] then I'll figure it out.

] There are things that they can try. But there's a dozen
] attacks that I've kept in my back pocket and that other
] hackers have kept in their back pockets that nobody's
] even talked about. Those will come out if Microsoft
] tries to secure the hardware again.

He also talks about his book on XBox technology, which he is having trouble publishing due to book publishers being scared to death about the DMCA. Many good quotes within..
