xboxwirelessadapter's Introduction

Xbox Wireless Adapter Communication Protocol

A clean room reverse engineering project of the official Xbox MN-740 Wireless Bridge, specifically how it interacts with the Xbox's dashboard. The original goal was to look for a juicy buffer overflow on the Xbox side, but since there weren't any, those results can still be used for educational purposes.

Contents

This repo currently contains the following bits:

  • A more-or-less working emulator of the wireless adapter, works both with a real Xbox and Xemu;
  • An incomplete description of the communication protocol between the console and the wireless adapter;
  • Debug symbols for the xonlinedash.xbe version 185ead00 (MD5: 8149654a030d813bcc02a24f39fd3ce9) in a form of Ghidra XML that I reacreated (or should I say guessed?) in the process.

Emulator how-to

Prerequisites:

  • A Linux system. The emulator need to be able to open a raw ethernet socket which is possible out of the box in Linux. Windows and macOS may probably require some additional changes;
  • A copy of xonlinedash.xbe version 185ead00 (MD5: 8149654a030d813bcc02a24f39fd3ce9). Some copyrighted material from the dashboard is needed for the emulator to work. Needless to say that I can't distribute it, so it will be extracted from the provided binary.

Running the emulator:

  1. First of all, you need to extract some secrets from the xonlinedash. You can do this by running
    $ python3 extract_secrets.py <path_to_xonlinedash.xbe>

  2. Now you can run the emulator itself:
    $ sudo python3 emulator.py <network_interface>
    Superuser privileges are required for opening a raw ethernet socket.
    As for the network interface - for a real Xbox, provide the name of the network adapter connected to same network as the Xbox; for Xemu, bind both Xemu and emulator to the same network interface, lo works just fine for this purpose.

xboxwirelessadapter's Issues

Openwrt script?

Are plans to create a script to configure openwrt hardware using this info direct from the xbox dash ?

One could translate this protocol to work with modern hardware and security standards to directly interface with uci
