According to his blog


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/
hah, nice try. i actually know what it is. I've read all of that yesterday and already bought a "TEENSY++" from the manufacturer of those. i called it a "thing" because there are several different compatible devices and none of them share a common name.
If you read this guy's blog, he's been working on this usb driver module code for quite a while, well before the PSGroove release, and would appreciate it if people stop harassing him for his "status" on IRC. Not that it would be any of you guys, right?
