Ignoring the harder "CPU-key hack.". What the, never mind its engadget.
for those of u who want to know...
The timing attack will enable the xbox to boot the original kernel (v 1888). This then allows you to upgrade to a vulnerable kernel and THEN you can then extract the cpu key.
Full control Mohahaha!!

I was considering getting a ps3 with ubuntu studio for my next desktop. I hope you people _own_ this hardware solidly. They're still not getting my money, though- because they made it such a pain in the first place. Well, that and they're uh, Microsoft. I kinda took a vow to myself that I wouldn't put a penny of mine between them and good old chapter 11.

Keep it up, anyway. Once we get this down, we can have games that run on pc-mac-ps3-360-xbox via ioq3 and crystalspace on Linux. /that/ is the meaning of multiplatform.

I'm going to go check on the wiili people now, and see how far they've got.
