Subject: getting help running unsigned code ...

I ran through most proposals for trying to run unsigned code and it seems to me that trying to smash the stack of signed code might be your
best chance. I ain't got an X-box but I supose that much code running on x-box has its counterpart running on PC, I'm thinking specificly third party software , dll's , codecs whatever...

If you guys could start making a list/identify of code which has a normal windows version counterpart, chances are big that holes/bugs
available in the pc version are also existing in the xbox version.

I think this could give this thing a boost.
advantages :
- not specialized user could help in reporting files
- testing and identifying holes could be much easier and faster done on a standard pc version in first phase.
- security holes in common software reported by other hackers / which don't have or use x-box could be much more easly identified and chance is that they already have some nice exploit code for it which just needs adaptation.
