WAB Determined to hack the Wii

I've got to hand it to them, this is some pretty hardcore hacking going on at WAB and Team Infectus. The idea as it has been discussed is, you run the wii with probes attached to the memory. Then you apply an external power source and turn off the wii. Now everything that was in memory stays in memory and you can read it out and see if there is anything useful. Looks like they've got logic analyzers and their own homebrew circuits attached to try and figure out a way into this thing. God luck guys!

Wii NAND Dumped.., yup, it's encrypted

Over the last few weeks, several groups have been dumping chips on the wii motherboard to see what they can find. After dumping one of the Wii's memory chips they realized that everything is encrypted and not very useful. They are not going to give up easily, now they are going after the RAM to see what data is stored in memory unencrypted.

The play-by-play can be found on websites such as WiiNewz Forums or TehSkeen, as well as OpenWii Forum.
