Microsoft XBox 360 - No Linux for You!

September 4, 2007
XBox 360 Linux Hack BlockedMicrosoft quietly released a security update to the XBox 360 that closed a security hole that enabled hackers to load Linux onto the XBox 360. Essentially, the hack used a method to inject data into non-privileged memory areas, allowing a hacker with physical access to an Xbox 360 to run arbitrary code such as alternative operating systems with full privileges and full hardware access. Sorry Linux fans, Microsoft closed this security hole.
