Modchipless XBox Linux
by Steve Gibson, Mar 31, 2003 8:52am PSTWell, here's your big console news of the day.. it looks like someone has finally figured out how to load Linux onto an X-Box without having to use any special "illegal" mod chips. They use everyone's favorite buffer overflow exploit to execute their own code due to a "bug" that exists in a few X-Box titles. The game used in particular is Agent Under Fire, although the "bug" exists in several titles according to the author. From XBoxhacker:
This "exploit," "hack," or "bug" as some are calling it stems from a seemingly, at the time of this article, simple "hack attack" known as a buffer overflow. Essentially overfilling the cup which is the memory process management of the operating system and slipping in your own piece of code right under its nose without it ever realizingYou can read about this on XBox-Linux and XBoxHacker.
