"By writing this exploit as a standard linux driver, this means that my module can be used on any other linux-enabled devices.. this means not only the N900, but also the 770, N800, N810, Android phones and future Meego devices.

You don't know what that "thing" is, it is not surprising you don't understand. Less hassle? heh, this is the wrong place for that kind of thinking.. (Also, if/when sony plug this hole then just load a new exploit module the scene creates)

On a side note I like the fact that this exploit doesn't have a "backup manager" which means its all about homebrew and not piracy.
(can't someone make this thread turn into a piracy debate? That would be some original trolling)

The information on the exploit itself is pretty cool:
"The exploit carefully manipulates the heap by plugging and unplugging fake usb devices with large device descriptors until the device on port 4 which misreports its size to overwrite one of malloc's boundary tags. " from http://www.ps3news.com/PS3-Dev/ps-ja...g-is-detailed/
