Sigh...Like I said all the programs for the XBOX console, ie: The OS is on the GAME DISC, not the system. So there is nothing to shut it down, DUMBASS



When there is a DUMBASS there is a WAY. The fan turns on when you press the power button, just like the SEGA DC. In other words it is activated HARDWARE wise, so please tell me how you are going to turn the fan off MORON, when all a hacker can do is use software.

It\'s funny to see the veins pop out of your forhead when you get mad!  (Symbolically speaking, of course.)

A hacker can interrupt power feeds.  If the hacker overloads the hard drive in a specific way a slight surge can be directed to the fan control, shorting out and terminating the fan.  The console does have an "OS" but not in the conventional PC sence.  There is a chip that controls motorized functions, if it\'s surged by an overload program snuck in by a hacker through the modem attachment, it\'ll terminate whatever it needs to.  Hardware cannot run without some form of software, being the insructions for operations.  And all of the pieces are connected in some form or fasion.  So yes, the fan could be made to turn off.

LMAO!!!!!!! wow you have been watching to much TV. Seriouslt though, this is pathetic, who in there right mind is going to go all through this trouble to pull something like this off, which still might not be possible.
Man you need to rest of the case, honestly and go play your PS2, GT3 is really good.

What movie is this??? , NVIDIA might know..he,he Well gentlemen it looks like the worlds most talented hackers are going to go through all this trouble to do what MR  Troglodyte has desribe above, and all for what. There is a one  to million chance of this happening to someone, if it even ever takes place.

YAWN......

Don\'t go dissin\' my hobby dude!  I\'m just posting to give possabilities of what can be done by a hacker.  It\'s been done before in a California Eletrical plant.  Someone overloaded a "computer" that had nothing to do with the power-relay switches, but it still sent a surge powerful enough to switch the polarity on some cable, and gave a small area of Cali a brownout for a couple hours.

I\'m just stating what can happen, not what will happen.  Probably nothing.  There is nothing to gain from hacking in a rudimentary program into a game console network.

And like I said, it\'s not anything worth it, but it can happen.

I have already said many times before anything is possible when it comes to computer hacking, but the real issue here is what is realistically probable to occur, and what you just described above is possible, but the chances of that ever occurring is so slim.

I mean we could theorize all day of the possible attacks people may conger up to destroy XBOX, but I doubt any of that will ever take place.

Ryght, so where is our argument?

It can happen, but it probably won\'t, hackers have bigger fish to fry.

As someone already said, if you have a device that connects to the web and it has a storage device then there is a risk, no matter how small, that a virus can be obtained.  Last time I looked, all of the net-gen consoles fit that description.

I would argue that the Xbox is the least likely to contract a virus as it is the only console to have a very closed network.  By that I mean that you are not going to be web browsing, down loading porn, checking you e-mail, playing with PC players, etc.  The Xbox network is just that, a network composed of Xbox\'s (and Xbox certified servers).  Because of that, your exposure to viruses is reduced to a level that no other console can claim a right to.

HUH? it\'s right here in the thread go find it, I said it many times before.

I have said all already Hoj3, and it still seems nobody has got the just of it.

Yeah, but a hacker could send over a program to make the HD Spin so fast it would blow the console up:D j/k. I would say it would be easier for someone to get someone inside MS to put bombs in the consoles and just make them blow it up after you turn it on 20 times;)

Accually it might be easier to do it with an XBox in a sense because you know all what the system is. Not like if you are a PC hacker and you don\'t know what each Computer has. I take that back about my last post in this topic sense the big yelling and screaming has died down. But still, hacking the Xbox would take an incredibly good hacker, with maybe 4 or 5 ace hackers on a team to do it... But if their that good then they should just have a job making software or something sense they are so good. It probably won\'t happen but it could.

If you are still sticking to the original statement in your first post, saying that the xbox cannot get a virus, then I still disagree.  

The xbox can get a virus, as shown in my previous posts.

I never said XBOX is 100% virus free, please find where I said that. I said that the potential for it to get a virus is slim. SO please stop making things up.

Well, I can\'t now because you edited your first post;) You can clearly see where the new words "hard to come by" have been stuck in. Nice try though! Lets not take this into another argument though please.

Edit: Don\'t be fooled my edits! I swear to God he said in there that without an OS that viruses could not happen.

I thought so, but just to be safe I posted what I did.  Thanks for pointing that out.

UPDATE:  This is some weird bug I\'ve found.  I\'m sure JediMaster saw that I had a post here, refuting TheOgodlyOne.  After JediMaster made his post, I usded the "quote" button of his post and the website over-wrote over my original post!  Whay does it do that?  I had a good rebuttal too!

UPDATE: UPDATE: Well, my post is gone, and this post doesn\'t make much sense.  Darn it!  Well to sum up the post I quoted the line to which JediMaster was reffering, and said that in context (even though it is now uncertain as to if that wa the original statement) that TheOgodlyThing seemed to imply that a virus is next to impossible, when in fact, it\'s not.  It\'s just as much a challenge as any other hack, and can be done.  But not much can be profited from it.

I hate it that my post was over-written!
