##TALK1 - Hacking Halo throughout Xbox/360

We look at the original Xbox and the 360 and see how they were exploited from the perspective of a Halo modder. We dig into a few mistakes these consoles made and learn a bit of history about Xbox console security.An interesting talk for those interested in:

  • how console security works
  • halo modding / video games
  • how original cpu’s led to vulnerabilities in modern ones.

Speaker Bio: Connor is a security engineer in Tampa securing web and mobile software. He works at Sourcetoad as the Director of Engineering and can be found working on open source projects or playing Halo.
