Xk3y Team announced that they have now hacked DG-16D5S Xbox360 slim drives with firmware version 1175. The "unhackable" DG-16D5S is now properly emulated and working with the xk3y, but currently requires the RGH hack to be done to get the unique CPU key from the console.

xk3y team have done it again, first Hitachi for slims, now the unhackable DG-16D5S, with firmware version 1175 has been properly emulated and working with the xk3y! Right now it needs the RGH hack done to get the CPU key of the console, but the team will now focus on a new method to get the key out directly from the drive.

Running a custom Linux system, x360key is capable of immaculately emulating the optical disk drive in Xbox 360, allowing you to play all your Xbox 360 (and Xbox 1) games from any USB media. It is compatible with all Xbox 360 models, both Fat and Slim, and offers advanced features such as emulation of the AP25 protection.

On August 2:

"Many people mistakingly thinks that we were able to add support for 0500/0502 because Corona motherboards can be RGH'ed, and ask why we havent added 1175 support.

In fact we've had the means to support 0500/0502 for quite some time, but no user friendly method of obtaining the drive personalization data. We were able to extract the firmware with a decap/laser cutter/microprobing attack, but so far we have not found any exploits in the firmware that could be used for non-intrusive key extraction. With the new RGH, the necessary drive data (key and CR table) can be obtained from the console.

We have also extracted the 1175 firmware with a similar attack. It has been partly descrambled and reversed, but its still WIP..."

Today on the official Xk3y news page this video was published:


A firmware for the Xk3y supporting the 1175 will be available soon.
