Hector said in the video that he doesn't even have an Xbox. I guess that's like turning up to the cafe five minutes after opening time when it's just you and the waiter.

I don't think the xbox would be of much use in that case. Can he run a USB sniffer on an Xbox? Makes more sense to connect it to his PC and use one of the hundreds USB sniffers available.

The guy actually says in the video "this is not a sniffer, this is not a man in the middle", which is quite incredible. Just a laptop running Linux.

Look at his desk: a complete mess of wires and hardware and a single Rubiks cube. Total hacker :-)
