Technical Analysis of XBox Save Game Hack

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.

    After reading /. for a year or two, I sort of deduced that the whole philosophy behind linux was to be cool.

    I second that. Why else would it have a power animal from the Antarctica? Also, it did originate in Finland where it's pretty bloody cold during most of the year.
