I hate to make threads to ask questions or just propose topics but however here is my thought.
I have not seen anyone talk about Cold Boot attacks on the RAM of the Xbox One. In cryptography, a cold boot attack is a type of side channel attack in which an attacker with physical access to a computer is able to retrieve encryption keys from a running operating system after using a cold reboot to restart the machine. A cold reboot for a computer would be holding the power button off or unplugging the power cord. It is also know as a "hard reboot"
Now, this is a cryptography attack and, I may be mistaken, but the Xbox One NAND has already been dumped and we know what files to exploit but we cannot decompile and read them.
I'm starting to research into hardware exploits and attacks and I have a good amount of experience in pen testing, hardware engineering and writing software exploits. I will buy an Xbox One X for x-mas so I will experiment on my current xbox one at the time. If anyone would like to team up I would be happy to put the effort into modding an Xbox one.
Back to the cold boot attack on the RAM. If done successfully, the contents on the DRAM could be read and keys could be found. However the DRAM is 16 individual components placed on the motherboard.
I am almost 100% there is a way to mod the console but I feel as if the community has lost ambition or progress has slowed down. With anything cyber related there will always be a backdoor.
What are y'alls takes on the RAM attack and does anyone have any thoughts or ideas they would like to add?
Thank you.
