TheRegister reports that Microsoft is going to take it from another point, now the company wants to recute XBox hackers to make the Xbox unhackable. The company has placed an ad on their website to recuit people who will investigate the mod chips.
This individual, who will be known only by the codename "Software Design Engineer," will be responsible for "collecting, evaluating and conducting analysis of modification chips."
Rather more interesting is the rest of the job description:
"The candidate will also be responsible for conducting security design reviews on Xbox hardware & software, and will assist in designing hardware detection code fragments to be embedded in future versions of the product. To be considered, candidate must have familiarity with x86 assembler, PC bus architecture and boot sequence details. Hardware knowledge and low-level software experience required. Working knowledge of cryptography & common copy protection mechanisms a plus. Preference is given to those with hardware backgrounds and game hacking knowledge."
Microsoft will probably also make the Xbox2 even more secure, but as we always say; "everything made by man can be broken by men", so again this will be only a matter of time before people going to continue with modding there XBox`s.
