Any Xbox 360 can now be hacked in less than one minute

Its a shame it doesn't persist through a reboot. I thought I was finally going to have a hacked 360, but I'm not reapplying this thing every time it turns on....

At least doesn't literally take 20 minutes like the previous Winchester exploit 😂
Dude it's less than a minute. My Ryzen 7000 machine with a 7300MB/s sequential read speed takes longer than that to boot.
- I've seen estimates between 30-70% failure rate for the race condition, even on this updated 1.2 version.
  And then ok, the exploit is successful. Now you have to install the custom launcher. Hope you like the default theme otherwise you're now configuring that each and every time too. I didn't get this far in the guide but now I imagine you also need to install the ISO manager that launches the games. Whoops, there's always some weird collection of dependencies that you'll probably have to tweak. Remember wii ios's? God, what the heck was that. Then you lose power and have to do all of this over again?
  Have you ever modded a console? The exploit is only step one.

MVG finally lands on lemmy, let's go!

I like his videos a lot.

Got everything ready to try. Just need to pull out my 360. Would I use it long term? Probably not, but this is too cool of a test to pass up.

Pulled my 360 out of storage a couple years ago and it instantly red ringed when I tried to power on. Hopefully you have better luck

I have one at home and it's still not hacked.

I’ve got three. All RROD’d.
- Learn your lesson yet? Lol

Tangentially related: how do I make YT thumbnails (or any thumbnail, for that matter) show on Lemmy posts?

The thumbnail shows up just fine on Voyager FWIW.
- Same on Boost
- Uh. I never see thumbnails on my posts on either my app (Lemmy) or pc (either the standard lemmy site or Alexandrite). Maybe Voyager has a built-in functionality that allows it to fetch the thumbnails frok YT when they are missing in the post itself?
You can get the URL of the thumbnail from the youtube page and then enter that URL in the "thumbnail URL" text-box when creating/editing your post.

(x) doubt.

I'm not watching this dumb video to find out about every edge case is being exploited.

I find your pride in your skepticism confusing. Why even bother commenting?
It's not a dumb video and it's not an edge case. It's a great video that goes straight to the point, has timestamps, explains in detail how the exploit works and how consistently, and showcases it.
The exploit is BadUpdate v1.2, an evolution of the previously known BadUpdate, which was great as a proof of concept but not very useful in practice, as it required an average of 30 minutes to work, had a success rate of about 30%, and needed to be applied every time the console was rebooted (on a console with no sleep mode, may I add).
By comparison, as shown in the dumb video, the new version of BadUpdate works flawlessly in about a minute (10 max), and has a far greater success rate of about 80%, according to the creator. It can be launched from a USB stick and requires no additional software or hardware modification to the console, and most importantly, works on all X360 and not just earlier editions.
If you're too lazy to click on a link, fine, but I'd suggest at least not acting so confidently when saying things you know nothing about.
- Relies on USB. Edge case, not happening in the wild.
- It's strange that console exploits wouldn't work consistently on identical hardware with identical firmware. What is it that makes it fail so often?
