While not a hack in itself, the Homebrew Channel is the first homebrew loading interface that does not require any other software or hardware to run. Installation, however, requires the ability to run either the [[Twilight Hack]], fakesigned discs, or Bannerbomb. It currently works on all Wii firmware versions available up to this writing (currently 4.1). The Homebrew Channel installer utilized the fakesigning exploit until beta 9. The beta 9 installer uses a different exploit to install itself, to circumvent Nintendo's October 23 update which patched the fakesigning bug out of all IOSes.
