Hacker uses $4 Raspberry Pi Pico to revive Xbox 360's 2011 voltage-glitch exploit

Scottish modder Joshua Kennedy has completed a nine-year effort to pull off the Xbox 360's CPU reset-glitch hack using a $4 Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller instead of costly specialized glitching hardware. The exploit sends a precisely timed signal to the CPU's reset pin, causing it to misexecute instructions in a way that lets arbitrary code run, bypassing Microsoft's console security.
