In part 2 of the Hacking the Xbox 360 Hypervisor series, the author details their journey to exploit bugs in the Xbox 360 hypervisor to gain full code execution. Despite the hypervisor’s reputation as one of Microsoft’s most secure pieces of code, the author spent years honing their skills as a security engineer and developed new methods for bug hunting. They focused on analyzing system calls and attacking encrypted memory, leveraging special system calls for ad-hoc code execution. Using clever techniques like crafting ciphertext and exploiting read-only memory, the author navigated the complex encryption and security measures to find potential vulnerabilities.
