They did a lot for Xbox 1 but certainly weren't the genius behind it..  

The hacks were made public and they capitalized...

This is true they didn't find any new exploits or any exploits at all they simply made money from quality products.  I will be the first to admit I have never been a Xecuter Fanboy, just by reading my sig you will notice I have an Xenium.  I have put in over 30 or so Xeniums and 1 Xecuter, their products for the xbox 1 are by no means superior imo but on the other hand they are anything shy from getting your bucks worth.  

Since the release of the 360 Xecuter hasn't hacked anything, however they gained a customer (me) by staying in the game and releasing "tools/toys" whatever to make the our lives easier.  Yeah they make money from it but they do have time invested so they should.  How many other xbox1 chip makers are in it for the long haul? Certainly not the company I gave all my business too, for this I say sorry Xecuter and as soon as homebrew is out(if you crack it or not) you got my support.

Hats off guys for staying in the game! Keep up the great products...Thank You!

ill be honest this genration of new consoles to be hacked isnt going well i mean everyhting is in the old genration only thing we got on the wii and xbox 360 are just boot burned backups i dont want that i can just buy stuff legally but for the homebrew part i mean i dunno thats all last gen this genration isnt doin much for me thats why i still use my psp  for homebrew 360 has alot of capabilitys and stuff like webbrowsers which ms i think should put on becuase i dont have a pc or laptop in my room but then again under xbox 360's sleaves could be the internet instead of pc sorry to admit what so far ive seen or prob read about unless im a little out of date on reading and missing stuff on what i just posted.

Why can't we all just play Starcraft on the PC and be happy?

I'm sorry bro but this is nonsense. The only thing EVER to be released before Xecuter existed was the RC4 v1.0 key. But how do you know one of our team members weren't directly or indirectly involved in that ? The fact is you don't know.

I hate to "bang our drum" but there is too much speculation of we have done or haven't done in the past.

Hardware
The first ever Xbox Modchip (direct on the fly patching - members of Xecuter involved - the product was not called Xecuter)
The first ever LPC based modchip - before cheapmod (First Xecuter named mod)
The first ever 4 x 256k Multibank External Switching modchip
The first ever on-the-fly eeprom editable modchip
The first mod with a dedicated 256k Flash Rom Backup
First custom case hardware such as the X3 Control Panel
World's first Xbox 360 Homebrew Mod Project

Software
First team to crack the RC4 v1.1 Encryption key (the only other team in the world to do it after us was the Linux guys - NO mod teams were ever close or had any clue)
First team to hack the Xbox Kernel Build Tree to run on a retail Xbox (no one else came close for 2-3 years after we were successful)
First team to ever reverse enginer the Xcalibur Video code to run on the Xbox kernel build tree
First team to release a stand alone DVD player for the Xbox (DVDX v1 and DVDX v2 - no other player was released for 3 years after ours)
Most of the major BIOS hacks (credits for others' work was noted in ALL our nfo released with every Bios)
The first (and only) on-the-fly patchable xbox bios
The first team to embed an xbe into a bios
30+ bios releases over 5 years
World's first Xbox 360 Homebrew Modchip Sourcecode


A little more than "capitalizing"
