Console Hacking 2008: Wii Fail (25c3)
from Chaos Computer Club - 25C3: nothing to hide (ogg) · host bushing, marcan
The Nintendo Wii game console has been one of the most popular of all time, selling almost as many units as all of its competitors combined. Despite being cheaper than the PS3 and Xbox360, it contains a sophisticated security architecture that withstood over a year of concerted effort to hack the device. The design itself is impressive; unfortunately, flaws in the implementation (both subtle and severe) render the device easily hacked, with little chance of recovery. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2008/Fahrplan/events/2799.en.html
