walshy007 writes "A new exploit has been shown which allows unsigned code execution on the Xbox 360 for all current models. It functions by pulsing the reset pin at a critical time during the checksumming/crypto boot process. The exploit enables the running of Xell, a boot loader which facilitates the running of Linux, amongst other programs."http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Flinux.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F11%2F08%2F31%2F2028245%2FXbox-360-Reset-Hack-Yields-Unsigned-Code-Execution%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Df acebook) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Xbox+360+Reset+Hack+Yields+Unsigned+Co de+Execution%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FoyEFMZ)
