I have a habit of setting myself challenges which makes me throw myself in at the deepest end I can find. My latest challenge may sound geeky but hey, I don’t care. I’ve decided to hack my favourite game on my Xbox. Now, when I set out on this little expedition I knew bugger all about the Xbox programming language, and bugger all about the language that the game was written in. I was in completely alien territory but I learnt what I needed to, found the files which I needed to change etc and managed to do it. The only thing is that now I have to get past the M$ security to be able to put it to any real use i.e. without having the helping hand of circuitry to keep the protocols at bay. Now is where it gets hard.

And now I’m stuck. I’ve tried everything…. literally everything but every time I think I’ve found a back door it just slams in my face. However I had a stroke of genius last Friday which gave me hope and ideas. Now, if I’m right, it could quite possibly be VERY easy to do, but then again, with the current progress that I’ve been making that wouldn’t seem too likely.

It’s been one of the most intense challenges I’ve set myself in recent times. It’s not the fact that I want to actually use my hack to do anything of particular interest, and it’s not a malicious form of hacking at all (don’t worry mr random surfer), it’s just a challenge which I have set myself and I’ll keep going until I can get it to work.

This sounds SO much like a geeklog entry. I apologise. I just had to voice my determination.
