Xbox One:Dumping Games with Durango Dumplings v2

Durango Dumplings v2 Run Menu

Ensure that your network is setup to prevent the Xbox from reaching the internet. It's recommended to block your Xbox's MAC addresses from accessing the WAN in your router settings, to turn off auto-updates, and to set the DNS setting on the Xbox to 127.0.0.1.

This page will walk you through dumping Xbox One/Series, Xbox 360, and original Xbox games on a compatible firmware Xbox One/Series device. A video tutorial can be found on Modded Warfare's YouTube channel.

Pre-requisites

• Xbox One / Series firmware version 4478, 4908, or 4909.
• A copy of Warhammer Vermintide 2:
  • Digital copy will allow you to dump a disc OR digital game
  • Disc copy will allow you to dump a digital game
• The game you are dumping must be installed on your Internal Storage.
  • You can follow this guide to add games to your console, provided you had previously launched it on the console before or it is a disc-based game.
• The game you are dumping must be able to be launched while offline.
  • "Check your connection" - This error will show if it successfully launched, but the game requires an internet connection. These games can be dumped.
  • "To start this game or app you need to be signed in to the Xbox network." - You do not have a valid license for the game or the disc is not inserted (if it's a disc based game). You cannot dump these games if it was a digital game that was purchased and never launched while online. If it's an expired Game Pass game, you may be able to set your system clock to a time in which the expired license was valid.
  • "Use this Xbox regularly? Make it your home Xbox so you can play games you own, even offline." - Displayed when you attempt to launch a game licensed to an account that does not have this Xbox set as the home Xbox. You cannot dump these games.
• Preferably connect your Xbox via ethernet, as Wi-Fi connections have been shown to drop files out of dumps.
• Preferably a static IP on your PC, as you will be hardcoding an IP address in multiple config files.

Initial Setup

PC Preparation

1. Download the Xbox One Game Dumping Pack v2.1 and extract it to your PC. This contains everything you need to dump games except copyrighted files.
2. Download the .NET 6.0.424 SDK x86_64 Binary for Windows and extract dotnet-sdk-6.0.424-win-x64.zip into the \Copy to Flash Drive\dotnet\ folder.
3. Download PowerShell-7.2.3-win-x64.zip and extract the contents into the \Copy to Flash Drive\pwsh\ folder.
4. Format a USB flash drive as NTFS and copy the contents of the Copy to Flash Drive folder to the root of your USB flash drive and safely eject the flash drive.
5. Open the htdocs folder and edit gamescript_autosave_network.txt. Replace YOUR IP HERE with the IP address of the PC you are going to run the exploit from.
6. Open the TwoDump folder and open stage2.lua and replace YOUR IP HERE with the IP of your PC.

Game Script Reverse Shell

A successful execution of Collateral Damage for Xbox One/Series, returning a reverse shell.

Perform the Collateral Damage Game Script exploit as detailed below to obtain a reverse shell.

1. If you haven't already, launch Warhammer Vermintide 2, press A to start game, and choose "Use Offline". This will create a game save on your hard drive.
2. Run miniweb.exe. If it asks for permissions to run, check both boxes and select "Allow Access". A command prompt window should open.
   • Note the IP address and port listed, e.g. 192.168.1.77:8000.
3. On your Xbox, open Microsoft Edge and enter the full IP address and port into the address bar (e.g. 192.168.1.77:8000). It should list the files present in the htdocs folder on your PC.
4. Select gamescript_autosave_network.txt. It should display the contents of the script. Hover your cursor before the very first character, then hold A and drag the left stick down to highlight all of the text. Let go of A and then select "Copy" from the small menu that opens up.
5. Launch the Game Script app. Use the D-PAD to highlight "Paste code" and press A to paste the contents of the file you copied. Press B to close the keyboard.
6. Double-click gamescript_reverse_shell_remote.bat. It will open a window for the server process with the last line being "Server listening..." and a second window running NetCat with the text "listening on [any] 7070 ...".
   • It may ask multiple times for permission to run on the network, check both boxes and select "Allow Access".
7. On your Xbox, open the Game Script app if not already there. Hold X and press RB to select "Windows", then let go of X.
8. Using the D-PAD, select "Show Code Run window" and press A. On the new window that pops up, highlight the "Run code once" button and press A.
   • After about 10-60 seconds, some traffic will appear on the payload and NetCat command windows, and if successful, you will have a reverse shell on the NetCat command window to be able to run commands against the Xbox.
   • If the Game Script app or the NetCat window closes, re-launch them and try again. If after multiple attempts it is still crashing, go to Settings > General > Power Options > Shutdown now, then turn your console back on and try again. It may take a few tries until it is successful, but the following optional steps will replace the entry method to make it successful every time.
9. Enter U to select the option to upgrade your Game Script reverse shell and provide your PC's IP address when prompted and press .
10. Once you receive a success message, quit Game Script, run gamescript_reverse_shell.bat on your PC, re-open Game Script, and run the code as before. If it connects, the shell has been successfully upgraded to the "local" version.

From now on, you can obtain a reverse shell by running gamescript_reverse_shell.bat on your PC and executing the code in Game Script.

Modifying the Vermintide Game Save

These steps will guide you through modifying your Vermintide game save to be able to run the game dumper.

1. In the reverse shell, enter D:\pwsh and then .\run.ps1 to open the run menu.
   • If you get an error related to signing, run the command Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted.
2. Enter 1 to mount your save game storage.
3. Enter 3 to back up your licenses to your USB flash drive.
4. Enter 6 to copy LicenseState.txt to your USB flash drive.
5. Enter I to inject the modified game save into Warhammer Vermintide 2. It will prompt you to enter your PC's IP address. Press Enter to accept the default port number.
6. Optionally, enter 2, 4, and 5 to take backups of your game saves, registry, and XBFS (5GB free space required). This is not necessary for game dumping, but good to keep safe.
7. Enter 1 to unmount your save game storage.

Dumping Games

Assuming all of the above steps were completed once, and your PC's IP address has not changed, you only need to follow the below instructions to dump games.

Loading your License File

Digital Game

Follow this process if the game you are dumping is a digital game.

1. In the reverse shell, enter D:\pwsh and then .\run.ps1 to open the run menu.
2. If you've added the license for the game you wanted to dump since the last time you've dumped your LicenseState.txt, enter 6 to copy LicenseState.txt to your USB flash drive.
3. Enter 7. You will be prompted to select your desired game license from the list. Note the content ID for later.

Xbox One/Series Disc Game

Follow this process if the game you are dumping is a disc-based Xbox One/Series game. Ensure that the disc is inserted at this point.

1. In the reverse shell, enter D:\pwsh and then .\run.ps1 to open the run menu.
2. Enter 8 to load the disc license. Note the content ID for later.

Original Xbox or Xbox 360 Games

Follow this process if the game you are dumping is a disc-based original Xbox game. Ensure that the disc is inserted at this point.

1. In the reverse shell, enter D:\pwsh and then .\run.ps1 to open the run menu.
2. If you've added the license for the game you wanted to dump since the last time you've dumped your LicenseState.txt, enter 6 to copy LicenseState.txt to your USB flash drive.
3. Enter 9. You will be prompted to select your desired game license from the list. Note the content ID for later.

Starting the Dump

The next steps will walk you through setting up the server that will receive the game dump(s).

1. In the reverse shell, enter D:\pwsh and then .\run.ps1 to open the run menu, if not already open.
2. Open the TwoDump folder and open stage2.lua and replace the characters in targetXvdPath with the content id found earlier and save.
3. Double-click warhammer_dump_game.bat. It will open three command prompt windows.
   • It may ask multiple times for permission to run on the network, check both boxes and select "Allow Access".
4. Launch Warhammer Vermintide 2 and press "A" on the title screen. If everything was done correctly, the game should freeze and you should see each command prompt window activate and files will start to be written to \TwoDump\tx\.
   • If anything appears wrong, see the troubleshooting section below. You can always close Warhammer Vermintide 2 and re-open it, repeating this step.
   • It's highly recommended to copy the contents of \TwoDump\tx\ to another folder and dump the game again. Afterwards, check the file size of both folders to make sure they exactly match, verifying that you had a good dump.
   • If you dumped an original Xbox game, check the Tx\Mount\SystemPartition\Compatibility folder and check the SHA-1 hashes of the xefu.xex and xefutitle.xex files. If it does not match an known xefu or xefutitle, please contact User:Derf.

Troubleshooting

• ERROR:XCrdMount failed with error 0x80070002, returned handle: [cdata (deleted)]
  • This occurs if the game you are dumping is installed on external storage. Copy it to internal storage and try again.
• ERROR:XCrdMount failed with error 0x80070570, returned handle: [cdata (deleted)]
  • This occurs if you made a typo in the content ID in TwoDump\stage2.lua or do not have a proper license for a game.
• ERROR:XCrdMount failed with error 0x80070715, returned handle: [cdata (deleted)].
  • Unknown. Some content may be dumped.
• The Xbox never connects to the PC:
  • If no connection is ever made from your Xbox, check your firewall rules. If you only select "Private network" when prompted to add exclusions for the programs, double check that your network is set to Private instead of Public. Also check that your PC's IP address has not changed from what you configured in the text files.
  • Check in your Xbox network settings to verify that it is set to "online" mode (i.e. you can see the "Go offline" button), as it will not communicate on your network otherwise.
• Text not displaying on screen / shell session appears hung
  • Occasionally, text does not properly output in the command prompt. Select the window and press Enter to force it to catch up. This happens most frequently if using the background shell feature.
