Hacking RT - Getting Exciting

More news from the webs this morning that indicate MSFT now seems a bit more interested in the recent hacks of the running kernel in Windows RT which allows you to install and run any ol software you want (as long as it is compiled to ARM).  After the excellent research article was posted, the also excellent XDA Developers quickly (4 days!) released a tool for the ‘masses’ which does the same trickery without getting into Windbg:
