    Hacking Emulation [RELEASE] XVD Format Visual representation

    Thank you! I'm looking forward to document all these formats in a similar style. Most newcomers to Xbox One research seem to struggle with these and even I keep reinventing the wheel sometimes and forget about parts of the format. I reckon this is a nice way to get introduced to xb1 shenanigans...

    Hacking Emulation [RELEASE] XVD Format Visual representation

    Hi, I've decided to try my hand at visually documenting the different important file formats used in the Xbox One console. I'm releasing a PDF which visually shows the structure of these formats. The first format I've documented is XVD (Xbox Virtual Disc) which is the main vessel used to...

    Hacking Hardware Misc Let's document the Xbox Device Transfer

    Hi y'all, The Xbox One has a huge catalogue of undocumented / obscure hardware accessories, which I would like to reverse engineer and document, releasing all the discoveries to the public. So I've decided to launch a small crowdfunding to see if there's community interest in analysing the...

    Can the BD-JB Blu-ray Disc Java Sandbox Escape by TheFlow be used on the xbox one

    Basically what @Tomato123 said: BD-J: Feature that consists in basically including very limited Java code in BluRay discs, for the readers to execute. This code is, again, Java bytecode, not native bytecode. In other words, it runs in a (sort of) VM. And has a very limited set of capabilities...

    Can the BD-JB Blu-ray Disc Java Sandbox Escape by TheFlow be used on the xbox one

    Using this image: https://www.mediafire.com/file/6a6aexvvm36o3t3/Doom-BluPlay.iso/file (by Shykelit above, who sent me the image months ago at the time of the Tweet).

    Can the BD-JB Blu-ray Disc Java Sandbox Escape by TheFlow be used on the xbox one

    The tech is available on the Xbox One. We would need to dump the interpreter's binary and look for vulnerabilities.

    [TUTORIAL] Hardmod Xbox One Silverton and dump NAND memory

    Specially useful for research, but also for preservation of our Xbox one consoles. Memories tend to wear down after years (e.g.: Nintendo Wiis are bricking nowadays because of decaying NAND memories) so this is also a great method to preserve and future-proof the unique information from your...

    [TUTORIAL] Hardmod Xbox One Silverton and dump NAND memory

    Yes, these are handy if you don't have any adapter at hand, and having the pinout makes it easier for people trying the mod. I knew about these, unfortunately they are out of stock, and soldering a resistor turned out to be cheaper :) but these are great nonetheless. Anyways, I'm working on a...

    Hacking Bypassing first-boot DRM efforts

    Yeah everything is signed. Which doesn't prevent unpacking and analyzing the contents. I'd like to put my hands on a real Kiosk file .xvd though (these files came in USBs with the kiosk units if I remember correctly) because the ones archived online have disappeared completely. If anyone have a...

    Hacking Bypassing first-boot DRM efforts

    Just a brief update, I reckon I now know where to focus my efforts to make the last path idea work. It is not the system.xvd (that is Read Only) but other parts of the OS. I now have a way of dumping the .VBIs as well, I just have very little time to work on it and that situation will continue...

    Hacking Bypassing first-boot DRM efforts

    Hello everyone, I have a pair of day-one and overall old Xbox one PHAT consoles that were never used. They were never booted and therefore, when turning them on now, request you to establish an internet connection, link an account, and update the console's firmware. This is a DRM problem that...
