New KingKong Shader exploit for XeLL and Linux LiveCD
,----[ Quote ]
| The LiveCD doesn't support the Toshiba-Samsung DVD drive for now
| (unless you can get it in 0800-mode, but afaik there's no way to do
| that if you're using the new method with the new shaders above), so
| you'll need an Xbox360 Hitachi-LG drive. Then just boot your
| modified King Kong, press start on the main menu and when the
| drive opens, insert the gentoo xenon LiveCD.

| It was just a matter of time of course. As reported about a month ago,
| Xbox 360 Dashboards version 4532 and 4548 contained a severe bug,
| allowing direct code modification in the system to execute arbitrary
| code in so-called hypervisor mode.

| This video from Cpas at xbox-scene is a bit blurry but it shows an
| Xbox 360 being exploited using the hypervisor exploit and linux
| booting on it. Please do not say that it is fake. It is as real
| as it gets.

Xbox360 Linux-PPC Kernel 2.6.20 Diff-Patches - Linux Loader Coming Soon

| He also talks about a 'linux loader' that will be released soon that
| will allow to (easily) exploit the Hypervisor Vulnerability (so I
| guess that means it'll only work on Xbox360 kernel 4532 or 4548) ...
| so we might soon be able to boot linux on a retail 360

Microsoft patches Xbox 360

| The update corrects a problem with a tamper protection mechanism on the
| Xbox 360. Hackers had discovered a way to break through the shield
| and run their own software, including operating systems such as
| Linux, on the Microsoft game console.

Xbox 360 vulnerability found, homebrew could be just around the corner
,----[ Quote ]
| Apparently a vulnerability has been discovered, and while the jargon
| is rather over our heads, it doesn't take a hax0r to understand the
| potential upshot: homebrew on the 360. The word is that there's a
| "critical vulnerability in Microsoft's Xbox 360 that allows
| privilege escalation into hypervisor mode."
