What's the current state for Xbox 360 modding?

Is there anything that's simple or plug-n-play that allows for backups/homebrew yet? I tried the xbox-scene forums, but they appear to be down, and have been for quite awhile apparently. I have a Kinect-release slim system and thinking about modding it finally.

I would like to figure this out too. Maybe not in the short term but I am going to want one of these after the 360 is discontinued in X number of years. I also hope they learn to hack all PS3s instead of just the old ones after that system is discontinued too.
