For those of you who have been scouring the internet lately for
something regarding modifying your Xbox One console, scour no more.
Earlier today a team that goes by the name 'notHALT' contacted us,
giving Se7enSins the heads up on what they had in store. At first I was
skeptical whether or no the claims made were legitimate, but we've come
to see that they are. They later notified us that they had uploaded the
Xbox One SDK (Software Development Kit) for everyone to have.

You may be wondering what's so important regarding the SDK being leaked.
It's not something that everyone is actually going to use, that's for
sure. However, software enthusiasts will definitely find this
interesting. For those of you familiar with Xbox 360 software
modifications, you're aware that majority of those software
modifications need the Xbox 360 Software Development Kit to work. The
same would generally apply for future Xbox One software modifications.
With the leak of this SDK, those who do not have access to the Xbox ID
program or an Xbox One Devkit will be able to venture into the different
aspects of the engine running the Next Gen console.
Once the SDK is
out, people who have knowledge or has in the past reversed files related
to the Windows (
operating system should definitely have a go at
reversing some files in there.Why? Well, the Xbox One is practically a
stripped Windows 8 device and has introduced a new package format that
hasn't had much attention. This format is responsible for updating the
console and storing applications (Games are under the category of
'Applications' on the Xbox One) and is a modification of Virtual Hard
Disks. There is no definite 'exploit' but from what we
have studied and tested, this simple Packaging format could possibly lead us to creating Homebrew
applications for the Xbox One.
Hopefully this leak will actually help further the development of
possible Homebrew applications for the console, and maybe even an
exploit for complete control over our device. Only time and effort will
tell. How many of you guys out there are a bit excited to think that
something might come out of this? How many of you think that we're still
a long way from getting some sort of modification on the Xbox One
console? Let us know in the comments! If you'd like to get a hold of the
SDK yourself, it is available on their twitter account. Keep in mind
that the SDK works in tandem with Visual Studio 2012.
