After I got a bit annoyed that some saved games no longer work because of the HDD key (XsavSig doesn't work either🥲), I got the eeprom out of my old xbox and created a small program using Arduino to read the eeprom data.

The HDD key is encrypted with the RC4 algorithm.

I assume that you have to decrypt it first in order to be able to use it in config magic?

As far as I know, the RC4 key is stored somewhere else in the Xbox, does anyone know where?

Is the key unique for every xbox?

Just store the entire eeprom as a whole to eeprom.bin and use something like liveinfo to get the fully decrypted eeprom.  

Great, this seems to work!

Copied the data from arduino and converted it to a bin file.

I mean, i hope that the decryption is correct because theres only xbox version 1.0, 1.1 and 1.6 in the list, my backup is from an 1.4. :)
