I'm looking to add a little more to the talk I will be giving at DefCon 15, and will add your name (or alias) to the references slide - if you add anything I have not already covered. For the X360, I have not performed any mods. Thinking that between the system's hypervisor protection and Microsoft's aggressive searches on "illegal" usages on XBL there might be limited hackability for this box.
The DefCon talk is titled "Thinking Outside The (Console) Box." Here's the write up: "Having seen the ads this last holiday season, you think you might know all there is to know about the new crop of console game systems. But are these, and other console game systems, just for fun and games? Could they be used for other purposes?? Yes they can. With the advent of more powerful consoles many systems have the ability to do just about anything - after all they are still computers. Two years ago I gave a presentation at ToorCon discussing the hackability and usability of hand-held game systems. Since then, I have looked at all of the popular game consoles and researched their collective potential as platforms of covert penetration testing. Many of these machines can be easily modified to execute code not originally meant for game systems. In this topic I will discuss how game consoles can be used as another avenue in the penetration of your network..."
To see some of the things I have been tracking, publicly, you can hit my blog:
