This exploit does EVERYTHING

The code is there to play with. Right now, it only does Linux, but with a bit of playing it can be used to run absolutely everythings.... apps/emulators/games....... you name it. This exploit only needs to be run once to install too.

well it is pretty big from what i gather but i still think they handled it the wrong way.

This is BOOT DISK level, (still need a memory card and 007 auf ext.(!one time!)) but unopened unmoded running of unsigned code.

You use 007 to load the new font files. Then you are free to do what you want. You know longer need to flash the TSOP to run backups or anything else you want.

You can also use xbox live with backed up games or hacks or whatever (M$ will fix this in the next 24 hours if they have not already done so).

Anybody ever thought about how difficult it would be to actually swap an HD without a modchip? Once you swap to a new drive, you don't have a dashboard... how are you going to use the new exploit?

It's the modchip that allows unsigned programs like EVOX to run so that you can format the new HD WITHOUT a dashboard hack.

With this new hack, I don't think you can prepare a new drive without a PC.

Hey, so if we combine this new exploit, with the new M$Dash hack (the launcher within msdash), we will be unstoppable? heh. I got a question tho, if we use a locked 120 gig hdd, wont the xbox only recognize 8 gigs if it does not have modified bios? Or....will this exploit remove this limit

If they do fix it, what stops someone from using the 007 hack and coping and older version of the dashboard and all related files over M$s "new" fixed dashboard

I suppose you could still do a TSOP flash, but then you'd have to open the box to do that...kind of defeats the purpose...still a very interesting hack though.

I'm gonna sit back and watch this carefully, I wonder how MS will react or if they will do anything at all? .

This seems too big to ignore. A regular Pandora's Box if you will...

See, the 'fixed' dashboard won't let you use the exploit. That's why it will have earned the term 'fixed'.

How do these people get this smart? anyways, this is quite the hack and a pound in the ass for M$, in the near future it should be 007 or mechasault hack copy fontsound files and evox-> ms dashboard hack -> apps and backed up games. I almost feel sorry for M$, but then I remember they're money grubbing whores

and they deserve it.

Keep in mind this could also hurt to good, honest game developers too... if too many n00bs look at this as an "easy" way to pirate games... (although not much easier than a modchip)...

how is a dashboard update going to stop the 007 hack?

Id just try searching for this forum for answers on the 007 and mechassult hacks first and go from there

I see this as a bad thing, M$ is going to be pissed that everyone who owns an xbox now has the potetial to pirate their games even if they can only fit 2 on their 8gb harddrive. I still prefer the old modchip better than flashing the tsop, Im also not look forward to mandatory dashboard updates if M$ do decide to incorporate this It will just be a pain in the Ass. One upside I can see to this is more people becoming interested in the scene (hopefully a good thing) as this could bring about more kick ass development.

I just hope this wont be the start of very bad things.
