(An Introduction to Reverse Engineering) Andrew bunnie Huang

This hands-on guide to hacking was cancelled by the original publisher, Wiley, out of fear of DMCA-related lawsuits. After a period of direct distribution by the author, “Hacking the Xbox” is brought to you by the No Starch Press. The book begins with a few step-by-step tutorials on hardware modifications that teaches basic hacking techniques as well as essential reverse engineering skills. The book progresses into a discussion of the Xbox security mechanisms and other advanced hacking topics, with an emphasis on educating the readers on the important subjects of computer security and reverse engineering. Hacking the Xbox includes numerous practical guides, such as where to get hacking gear, soldering techniques, debugging tips and an Xbox hardware reference guide.

You may order the Unlimited Edition of Hacking the Xbox from the No Starch press. It is also stocked by major bookstores everywhere (Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Borders, Microcenter, etc.). The Unlimited Edition features a snazzy new cover and professionally copy-editted and proofread text (as opposed to my own underground-style Special Limited Edition).
