    Tony Hawk's Pro Strcpy is a game save / network remote code exploit released by Grimdoomer on Github that can be used to hack several different game consoles including the Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, and GameCube.

    Its certainly fascinating the same game can be used to hack four different games consoles, in addition to exploiting the PS2 and Xbox versions of the game over the network. Essentially allowing you to softmod these consoles by playing a system link game with an emulator running on a PC, removing the need of having some way to get an exploitable save game on to these consoles to exploit them.

    Another rather interesting thing is this is the is the first exploit ever that will allow you to run unsigned code on the Xbox 360 without even having to open the console... if you are on a update 4548 anyway. Granted currently not really useful to most people, however if a hypervisor exploit is ever discovered on a modern 360 update then theirs a software entry point ready to go, potentially making Xbox 360 homebrew more accessible to all one day in the future.

    Watch the video below to see Tony Hawk's Pro Strcpy demonstrated on each console:
