It's been a while since Microsoft released the Xbox One, and despite its age, there haven't been any reliable softmod methods to hack the console. Until now. A post started making the rounds, saying that a method for executing kernel level code on the Xbox One had been found. A list of instructions for preparing Xbox One systems to be hacked was also provided, with the process being as follows:

1. Ensure your Xbox Live account Login-Type is configured as “No barriers” aka. auto-login with no password prompt
2. Set your console as “Home Console” for this account
3. Download the App Game Script
4. Start the app (to ensure license is downloaded/cached)
5. Take your console offline! To make extra sure it cannot reach the internet, set a manual primary DNS address of 127.0.0.1
6. Get a device/microcontroller that can simulate a Keyboard (rubber ducky or similar) - otherwise you have to type a lot manually

This method appears to use a UWP app called Game Script on the Xbox One to execute the code, and was discovered by a user named carrot_c4k3. It seems as though the hack will require a lot of manual typing, unless you have a device that can simulate a keyboard, according to the preparation instructions. Reportedly, the latest firmware update for the Xbox One has already patched the exploit out, with the last exploitable firmware being 10.0.25398.4478.

Latest firmware is still exploitable and there is a way to Install Gamescript with a partner dev account.

Thanks for posting this. It would be great if such important updates were posted regularly, as I prefer to keep having online for as long as possible, aka as long as the firmware is exploitable, so such news is very welcome .

Is it really worth self banning your console today, just to wait and hope that a exploit comes around in a year or two that lets you play backups? What if it never happens?

It's out:

Yep
This is a old thread about it so here's a new one for us to discuss

The Creator has no say whatsoever in how it is ultimately utilized. Also, you meant to say "game preservation" when you said "piracy."

supports Microsoft. dev submitted a bug bounty anyway. You can pirate by playing dumped games in developer mode

You misunderstand. Emma never said she doesn't want the exploit to be used for piracy. She literally said it can't.

It will give you full control over one of the operating systems, but it's not the one that runs games. It will enable modifying save data, which will allow using another exploit that just went public to trick certain games into dumping themselves or any other games. But those dumps still can't be played on actual hardware. So unless this exploit turns out to have more potential than expected, it won't enable playing unauthorized copies on real hardware. It might be possible to emulate them or otherwise get them to run on PCs, but piracy for the consoles themselves should remain impossible.

Ya kinda can see above post she didn't 'lie' per say but it is possible.

has the exploit been patched in 4910? I just replaced by failed HDD yesterday to SSD and nervous to do the OSU file if it updates and pulls down 4910. (in boot screen says my current OS is 4909.)

help pls?
