(XBOX cracking @ MIT) This guy was quite clever. He sniffed the bus between the northbridge and southbridge on the XBOX motherboard to discover the secret boot sector & code that prevents anyone from using an XBOX (a pretty reasonable general purpose computer actually), to run Linux or whatever. His paper is at: http://web.mit.edu/bunnie/www/proj/anatak/AIM-2002-008.pdf But MSFT is pressuring him to take it down, so if you want to read how he did it, do it soon...
