Well, it randomly popped up in my head about reverse engineering a banned/unbanned KV.. I know that they are generated by Microsoft, but there has to be a piece in there somewhere that actually is the "key" to getting online that I would think could be changed, thus "unbanning" the KV. Maybe I'm way back in old news, or over thinking it, but just an idea that popped into my head

Its possible just very hard and you would need to be as good as Dwack/Eaton to even do it. I've been told by smart PPC coders that its able to be done, just we may never see that in this scene.

This wouldn't do anything. A KV is basically a serial number. Think of it as your system ID. When you connect to live, it tells live that your serial number is "Blah blah blah". It checks to see if you aren't/are banned. If you are, you don't connect to live. If you aren't you connect.

But then theres gotta be a way to change that serial number. At least, I would think there would be

Honestly, no. Its like a lock. It seems complex from the outside, but inside its just stick that push other sticks to make it turn. Just like a lock, why look into it if it works?

I dont know, I may be over thinking it. But I feel theres gotta be a way that is easier said than done, but possible

The only thing you'd accomplish is changing that KV from one xbox's KV to another, thus making it not banned. There's no real way to make a KV or unban one.

Yes there is, its been proven by great PPC coders such as Eaton/Dwack. Learn PPC and you would know, you're the kid who flaunts about using offline files because people shouldn't make money of skids lmfao.

Not necessarily. If a KV works by telling Live a serial number, just changing that number would make it a whole different console.

But yes, I see where youre coming from. If there is two lists of serials on LIVEs server 'Banned' and 'Unbanned', youd need to change that number to one under the 'unbanned' list. But if it work buy having a list of only banned, you could get away with having a random numbered serial and technically get on just fine
