[Gc-linux-devel] How was the GameCube hacked history?

[Louise H. <lou...@he...>]

Dear readers

I would very much like to read how the GameCube was hacked, but I
haven't been able to find anything detailed with Google.

Wikipedia had a short description, but I was wondering, if there excist
a history like the one Bunny wrote for the XBox? =)

Lots of love,
Louise

You can find a lot of info here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php? 
group_id=98581&package_id=157157&release_id=339943

But yes, someone should write it down.

Thanks =)

When reading the slides I came across three questions.

* One of the slides says a hack was reused from the Dreamcast.
  Was the Dreamcast also hacked using a fake DNS?

* Another slide says: "NEVER REUSE KEYSTREAMS!".
  What does that mean? Did they reuse a secret key?

* "Shift register isn’t cleared after derypted data is in! (lol)"
  Why is that a bug? Does it slow down the bus speed, so sniffing the
  data is possible with cheap equipment?

If I knew it, would love to write it =)
