Interestingly enough, I read a post this morning where a member of Team hyperx said that a version of ixtreme will be released shortly, but a free method of decrypting your key will not be released because of legal reasons. With foundmy charging $42 US dollars per decrypt, things may get very interesting in the x-360 modding scene very shortly.

With foundmy charging $42 US dollars per decrypt

omg
they are nuts
way to much money

a free method of decrypting your key will not be released because of legal reasons

what are these legal reasons then?? was there not a law that was passed saying that opening the xbox and changein FW was not illegal??

This was the post made:

Of course there will be a free ixtreme.

That does NOT mean that the team will figure out a way to decrypt the key data. We've obviously already looked at the method, and its nothing new. The key data is encrypted. The exe just dumps that info. Yes it appears to be a slightly altered dvdkey32 ....*shrugs* ....why do double work?

The problem is the encryption. Even if we defeat the crypt we cannot release the algo to the public. That would be incredibly illegal.

foundmy has come up with a solution to what was the main thing holding the release of ixtreme back. The firmware has already been in the works and we've had solutions to read/write firmware. However that is not the same as read/write key data!

The crypt used on these drives are NOT simple. If we found a way to decrypt the key data this moment, you would still never see it released to public. Its simply very illegal.

So I hate to break it to everyone, but its looking like this will be the only solution.

While I agree $42 is abit steep....its a very small price to pay for the modification of what is previously a unmodifiable drive. And for those of you modding for others? Its not coming out of your pocket, so stop complaining. Infact, everyone should stop complaining period. If someone has spent hard work to figure out something then they should be rewarded for it.

Who knows, maybe HyperX will get with MS to sue foundmy? lol j/k

They do not say whats illegal about it except for the part about breaking the encryption on the key.

its crap
at the most it copy-righted
thats it

there is no "very"
it is illegal or its not illegal that is all.

Make no mistake making money
is where the trouble will come in as soon as the government hears of it.
you can bet your ass they will want a piece of it.
and
They "Wiil" get it.

There is no cat and mouse with them
they will just burn the whole thing down around you.

well that is just my take on it anyway.

[docwarbucks]

thats bullsh*t- it wont last someone will release a better way

[docwarbucks]

if foundmy.com found a way to "calculate the key " then its only a matter of a week or two that the collective community will come up with a solution. Microsoft has spent so much money trying to keep these xboxes unhackable and they are a billion dollar company. have faith in the community we will hack this in a week or two tops.i will never buy anything from foundmy.com again. you know 42 dollars is a number they just pulled out of then air. Need to get a couple bin files and then the keys and find whatever pattern or decryption they have in common.

Does this mean when someone does figure it out in a few weeks will I be able to flash my Liteon without the CK3 and Probe ? It dont matter like as Im happy just to buy the CK3 kit they only like 25 quid for the Lite bundle. You would think someone would of figured out how to read a Liteon with Iprep without the need of any other kit, Just like the Benq. That would be a dream.

[docwarbucks]

to answer that would be pure speculation. i don't think you will need the ck3 probe because of the current way the key is being extracted and calculated but whatever free way is revealed will surely triumph over the 42 dollar way. you can still get the older consoles.
depends what system you buy. if your buying the arcade you have good chances of getting it, with the pro slimmer chances and with the elite not so good chances. also depends on the store and how fast they sell them. look inside the box at the serial number and move the xbox around a little to see if it has a june 2009 on it. try to find something older. Kmart in my area has no business at all and you can still get the the older light ons and even a benq with the elites. even the target by my house has benq in the elites.

There may be good news on the horizon, and trust me, I'm doing everything in my power to find out more information. A new team claims to have found a way to decrypt the key and has said they are going to release a tool set to allow users to get their key free of charge.

I will let you guys know more as I find out.

[commando_lee]

cheers mate your given many people hope

[sadalius]

I will have more info on this hopefully by midday tomorrow.

[CoFree]

there is not question
as soon as they said they could do it but had to charge.
the hackers would come a running

im glad
ill give the guy that releases the fix for free $50.00 just to put it in the face of foundmy.
