Give this a read:

I thought it was interesting, posted 7 months ago but it may be possible for home brew after all. Orrr it could be complete BS but a guy can hope can't he. Looks like we might need to figure out how to better mod those vista maps. Also this is random but does anyone know what happened to the "Halo 2 Modding Hall of Fame" post. It's gone and I was searching around for it.

The hall of fame was on Halomods.
That article has fake written all over it i'm afraid.
This on the other hand, has potential:

I'm sorry but everything in all three of those links is complete bullshit.
First off you need the private key to sign, the public key is only used for verification in the security model Microsoft used. So of course the public key is in the cpu die.... I also find it extremely hard to believe that the cpu die has not only been dumped but also contains the private key pair.
Second all of the development related software (bootloaders, kernel, dashboard, etc) are signed using development keys, which are different than the keys used to sign production software, and for good reason. Just because the dashboard has an option to enable dev kit, doesn't mean anything more than someone forgot a pre-processor macro when making it.
Lastly, just because the nand image and disk contents have been dumped doesn't mean anything. The nand is a flash chip, you could take any flash chip off of any device, throw it on a programmer and dump it. It's not a hack, it's how it fucking works. The security model on the xbox 360 encrypted ALL executable code with the exception of the boot ROM. I imagine xbox one is exactly the same. Which means unless you have the decryption keys all of the executable code in that flash dump is useless. I'm not doubting that someone has them, but unless you doing having a flash dump is pretty much useless.
