De Xbox 360 firmware hacker C4E heeft op het IRC wat meer uitleg gegeven over hoe de AP2.5 beveiliging werkt. Want zo is de beveiliging (die mee kwam met het nieuwe Xbox 360 dashboard) ook actief zonder een internet verbinding en kan doormiddel van checks zien of een game origineel of gebrand is. Daarnaast kan er door game en systeem updates in theorie nieuwe detectie methodes worden toegevoegd. Zoals altijd een kat en muis spel tussen Microsoft en de hackers, dit zal ongetwijfeld nog wel een vervolg krijgen.

4Eva talked a bit more about the new AP2.5 (Anti-Piracy v2.5) protection and answered some questions in #FW@EFnet.

[+c4eva] just a word of warning on the sed "disc swap" [note x-s: see our x360SED v1.0 news], although this passes the timing check, ap25 also returns data from its check which will be wrong with the wrong disk and will get you banned!

[+c4eva] the trigger for ap25 is still being investigated, but assume a list of titles of some sort or some check, not the xex!
[+c4eva] no ap25 traffic was ever logged with fifa 09

[**] c4eva, it is known yet whether AP2.5 can flag you in an offline state?
[+c4eva] **:yes it can
[+c4eva] console flag

[***] SSv3 just for ap2.5 games or all others?
[+c4eva] ssv3 will be required for any game that activates ap25

[****] c4eva: does that mean old games that dont have ap25, that we burned, as ssv2 are safe?
[+c4eva] ****:yes

[*****] c4eva do you think it is possible that they activate ap25 with a title update on old games?
[+c4eva] possible

[*****] c4eva is it a bad idea playing a retail ap25 game on current fw too ?
[*****] well obv. for new dash
[+c4eva] *****:should be fine
