no booting details known
changes between beta hardware and final:
alpha hardware = macintosh
beta = ? looks like retail, but no encryption
second beta =! retail
tried to dump RAM
could only dump virtual memory
ram is at 8000_0000
southbridge: pci config space, mapped to VM, accessible by user apps
memory at bottom looks random/encrypted, might be hypervisor 256 KB
8040_0000 xbox kernel starts, MZ header
read memory using debug interface: everything is in plaintext, you
can read kernel + app (dashboard etc.), i.e. virtual memory is not
encrypted
kernel interesting to disassemble
communication with hypervisor using syscalls
hypervisor does interrupts/exceptions
syscalls:

**********************************
SC 22 =
tested on 2 kernels
first: SC "access fuses"
second: "burn fuses"
(rumour has it that this is used to make retail boxes out of debug
boxes)
memory management 0F/10: perhaps page table access code in
hypervisor, all high level code in kernel
you can't map memory as you like
network adapter in the southbridge
debug code dumps registers with names
it is possible to dump physical memory using network adapter DMA
accesses
not perfect dump
reading physical memory = encrypted
data segments are not encrypted, but nearly all code segments
older recovery cd (early 2005), worked on first beta developer kits,
without security enabled:
cd included kernel which included stuff that is encrypted in retail
version
includes hypervisor code!
it is old, but...
getspr: SC 6
setspr: SC 7
-> possible to see implementation of basic syscall handling
function in hypervisor to chain-run a new kernel from the old kernel
hypervisor: sign with private key etc.
hypervisor can only do physical memory
hashing: load into register base address, length, destination of hash
buffer, call syscode, hypervisor will hash
-> attack: hash 1 byte, *itself*, -> hangs
hypervisor lies at 0 in VM and physical mem
