Xecuter

Team Xecuter have been at the core of the Xbox hacking community since 2001. For years we designed both the Bios releases and state of the art hardware for the Xbox 1. There are many new members to the scene who have heard of Xecuter but don't really know who we are or what we have done for the history of the Xbox Scene. There are also those that do know but are haters, wish to ignore or have simply forgotten - here's a reminder.
Hardware
The first ever Xbox Modchip (direct on the fly patching - members of Xecuter involved - the product was not called Xecuter)
The first ever LPC based modchip (First Xecuter named mod)
The first ever 4 x 256k Multibank External Switching modchip
The first ever on-the-fly eeprom editable modchip
The first mod with a dedicated 256k Flash Rom Backup
Custom case hardware such as the X3 Control Panel
First LED controlled no solder adapter
World's first Xbox 360 Homebrew Modchip
Creators of the world's best selling Xbox 360 add-ons (such as CK3, Probe 2, Nand-X, XFRAG, Blaster etc)
Software
First team to crack the Xbox RC4 v1.1 Encryption key
First team to hack the Xbox Kernel Build Tree to run on a retail Xbox (no one else came close for 2-3 years after we were successful)
First team to release a stand alone DVD player for the Xbox (DVDX v1 and DVDX v2 - no other player was released for 3 years after ours)
Most of the major BIOS hacks (credits for others' work in nfo's)
The first (and only) on-the-fly patchable Xbox bios
The first to embed a full xbe into a bios
First fully controlled dashboard embedded into a bios
Over 30+ bios releases over 5 years with state of the art features
First team to reverse engineer the Focus & Xcalibur Video Chipsets
World's first Xbox 360 Homebrew Modchip Sourcecode
Official partners of Team Jungle & Commodore4Eva
Naturally our present day endeavors don't really include any of the awesome hacking that took place on the Xbox 1, nowadays there are the well known firmware hacks which have been tremendously exploited by sceners such as Commodore4Eva & Team Jungle. As great as these 360 hacks are I don't think we will ever see again the level of fantastic homebrew capabilities that the Xbox 1 had - unless you have a JTAGGABLE 360 of course - then you should get yourself an Xecuter Nand-X ;)
I hope this info was enlightening to all the kids out there who never heard of the first Xbox :)
