geohot - one of the famous iphone-hackers - did it one more time! just with another hardware.

he worked on this one over the last few months. and now it seems that the ps3 is open for homebrew - and "other" things. ^^

from his blog:
Today I verified my theories about running the isolated SPUs as crypto engines. I believe that defeats the last technical argument against the PS3 being hacked.

In OtherOS, all 7 SPUs are idle. You can command an SPU(which I'll leave as an exercise to the reader) to load metldr, from that load the loader of your choice, and from that decrypt what you choose, everything from pkgs to selfs. Including those from future versions.

The PPU is higher on the control chain then the SPUs. Even if checks were to be added to, for example, verify the hypervisor before decrypting the kernel, with clever memory mappings you can hide your modified hypervisor.

Ah, but you still didn't get the Cell root key. And I/we never will. But it doesn't matter. For example, we don't have either the iPhone or PSP "root key". But I don't think anyone doubts the hackedness of those systems.

I wonder if any systems out there are actually secure?
so... let's hope that some more smart hackers are out there

the first announce from geohot that he found a way... yes.

the latest news that it's completely hacked about 5 days

but maybe not everybody has noticed it yet. not everyone looks out for console-news. ^^

and it's may not announced by big newspapers or online news websites?! (:

We must have very different definitions of big news websites.

in germany we have something like bild.de, focus.de or spiegel.de.
mainly for political news, sport and so on.

maybe not everyone is surfing on those special technique websites.

but this thread should not only be there to inform people. it's here because i would like to talk about this topic. and update the news with hacks, loaders, homebrew and so on

if you don't want to do xell on your second xbox.... a drive flash is also a sweet thing to do - and much easier

and if modding the ps3 is as easy as modding the 360 i will buy a ps3

may an old from a friend if it's only runable on older hardware revisions. but afaik the hack will run on any ps3 (even slim?!)

if it's running on slim too... i'll get a smaller bread box xD *laughing*
