GliGli & Tiros (Team Members at libexon.org) have developed a hack which glitches all recent Xbox360 Kernels to run unsigned code on.
In this video (below) the 'hackers' launched a Linux loader and Nintendo 64 (N64) emulator. The approach works regardless of firmware version. Both the new slim console and some previous versions of Xbox 360 console (Jasper) are potentially vulnerable. Earlier versions of Xbox 360 (Xenon, Falcon) are not. Microsoft may have its work cut out in blocking the hack because a simple software update would not be enough to block the exploit, according to the hackers. Similar to what "George Hotz" said with the PS3, the people who actually found this hack stated that "The hackers stated that the hack had only been developed for the purposes of running homebrew code, and not for gaming piracy or similar malfeasance."
I found some more information on the subject itself from the source. See below for more details on this.

The french developer and hacker, GliGli, is proud to release via XboxHacker forums, what most of us are waiting for since more than one year : a new exploit for the Xbox 360. This new Hack is called "Reset Glitch Hack" and needs the installation of a chip. The Reset Glitch Hack is compatible with most 360 models: all the Xbox Slims models and for FAT, Zephyr and Jasper are working for now (Falcon will be released when the devs will have one at hand).
To explain it (very) simply, the chip sends little pulses to the processor in order to distabilize the console and make it believe a modified CB is correctly hashed and signed. This operation doesn't succeed every time, but it is repeated till it works. Once the modified/hacked CB is validated by the console, it has enough rights to launch unsigned code and in our case, XeLL, the Xenon Linux Loader. For full details, read GliGli's explanation of his hack, you can also have a look at the source code of Hack available HERE.
Advantages of this Hack :
- All the 360 expect the Xenons will be compatible.
- It's unpatchable, in fact the CB is involved so early in the console boot process that it can't be revoked
Drawbacks:
- A chip is needed.
- The boot time varies and it can take up to a few minutes to run unsigned code.

If anyone is wanting to do this then I took the time to upload this tutorial as a PDF and the actual "Glitch" itself.
