Xbox-netinfo
From XDSL
A standard Xbox stores it's network settings in the first 512kb of the hard disk drive. These settings can be changed via the Microsoft dashboard and are used by Xbox Live games to establish an Internet connection. In order to allow Linux to better inter-operate with standard Xbox games and applications xbox-netinfo was coded to read these network settings and display them on stdout.
