Linux kills the X-box!!

Post by Stef »

That's right, it's now official. Linux can run on any un-modified XBOX game console.

The XBOX security infrastructure has been completely cracked by Linux geeks.

At first, you could manipulate a saved game on a memory card to boot Linux without the need of a modchip. Now, it is possible to use the very same saved game hack to perform a root exploit on the XBOX kernel and gain full control of the system :D

I feel cheated for purchasing my Xecuter2. Now you can crack the XBOX without removing the lid!!

Read the thread on that one.

The end result, Microsoft is ****ed!!

If you have no clue about the xbox homebrew scene (modchips, hardware mod's, Evolution-X) take a look at http://www.xbox-scene.com

They have the complete list of Xbox tutorials that reveal how well Microsoft's product stands up against real word hackers.

Ask yourself: Hackers have cracked the XBOX code which encorporates some of Microsoft's best secure programming techniques. Is my Microsoft desktop or server operating system secure?

:D
