Xbox modders try to blackmail MS

Haha. Also, how to mod an xbox with a single dollop of solder. Personally, I'm going to get the new version of the Enigma chip and mod the hell out of mine.

A group of Xbox-security researchers say they have found a way to run Linux on the Xbox games console without a mod chip and will go public with the technique if Microsoft won't talk to them about releasing an official Linux boot loader.

The group, who have asked not to be named in this article, approached ZDNet Australia after repeated attempts to contact Microsoft independently failed.

The researchers say they want Microsoft to release a "signed" Linux boot loader which would allow Xbox users to run the open-source operating system on the console without installing a chip."
