Technical Analysis of XBox Save Game Hack

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the picking-it-apart dept.

DJPenguin writes "There is an excellent article at the XBox Linux Project that describes exactly how the XBox savegame hack works. It details how the author went to great lengths to hide exactly what was going on. It turns out the exploit code is hidden within an image of Tux himself!" An enlightening read, to say the least.

    How is this relevant??? Someone intelligent and crafty just explained an interesting hack, and all you can do is point back to some lame competition that's been linked via slashdot a million times?

    This is not what the forum was meant to be. It was supposed to foster discussion about the topic at hand. The obfuscation in the hack came not intentionally, but because it was disassembled, and decrypted.

    Moderation and metamoderation aren't powerful enough. You're going on my ever growing list of foes--people too immature to be of any interest.

    Technically your asshole is smaller than the XBox. But, your entire ass (including sphincter, anal region, ass hair, encrusted faggot semen, shit nuggets, and butt cheeks) is indeed bigger.
