Oldies New exploit found in the Original Xbox's dashboard named "ENDGAME"

[SylverReZ]

For the past few months, there have been recent advancements in the original Xbox scene. A recent vulnerability titled "ENDGAME", was found by users "xbox7887," "gaasedelen," and GBATemp member @shutterbug2000. It impacts all retail kernels and Xbox dashboard versions. It does not patch kernel code, nor does it allow the running of retail-signed executables. The exploit takes advantage of an integer overflow in how it processes save-data images, and by crafting a special image using the tools provided, as the Xbox parses the data, it will obtain arbitary code execution. It is compatible with most habibi-signed XBEs, which are utilized with similar softmodding exploits like Splinter Cell, launched directly from the memory card.

Although ENDGAME isn't a softmod per se, this will benefit a lot to the softmodding community, which can further improve future softmod exploits.

Eh you already can replace everything on the HDD, including the disk itself, without even turning on the console once first

But more educated* choice is always more better®
