PC inside Xbox360 Case

Do you have an Xbox360 that is just collecting dust? I decided for my next project to build a PC inside a Xbox 360 case. I knew if I was to take on this project, I would have problems with space. I did not want to buy any extra pc components but rather use what I already had lying around. Mounting the motherboard was probably the hardest part.

Monopoly City Streets Hack

Monopoly City Streets Vulnerability

The first thing I noticed with this online game is how easy it is to hack other accounts. Normally when you forget your password it is a matter of answering a secret question and the password is emailed to the email on the account. However since monopoly city streets does not require an email address to sign up, it is just a matter of guessing the answer to your secret question. What makes it even easier is there is only one secret question! What is your pet’s name? With just a few common pet names, it doesn’t take long for one to answer that question and be able to change the person’s password.

Mod your xBox 360

A big disadvantage to the xBox 360, especially the early consoles, is they scratch your games. In order to allow your xBox 360 to play your backed/burned games you need to flash your DVD drive. This will ‘trick’ the xBox 360 into thinking you have inserted a valid game. Otherwise the xBox will not read the games. If modded properly, you be able to play your original backed up games  on Xbox Live.

This is not an easy process. The process is not the same for every console. It depends on the model type and version of the drive. Since there are many different types of models and versions, it can be very complicated. Even though you know how to open your xbox 360 and connect it to your pc does not mean it is even possible for you to mod it. Most motherboards will not be able to flash it. If you aren’t careful you may end up ‘bricking’ your drive which then will turn your xbox into an expensive paperweight. You can tell what model of drive you have without opening your xBox. Just read my guide here: What model of drive do I have?
