Devia Eleven Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 "I have read/write access to the entire system memory, and HV level access to the processor. In other words, I have hacked the PS3. The rest is just software. And reversing. I have a lot of reversing ahead of me, as I now have dumps of LV0 and LV1. I've also dumped the NAND without removing it or a modchip. 3 years, 2 months, 11 days...thats a pretty secure system Took 5 weeks, 3 in Boston, 2 here, very simple hardware cleverly applied, and some not so simple software. Shout out to George Kharrat from iPhoneMod Brasil for giving me this PS3 a year and a half ago to hack. Sorry it took me so long As far as the exploit goes, I'm not revealing it yet. The theory isn't really patchable, but they can make implementations much harder. Also, for obvious reasons I can't post dumps. I'm hoping to find the decryption keys and post them, but they may be embedded in hardware. Hopefully keys are setup like the iPhone's KBAG. A lot more to come...follow @geohot on twitter" http://geohotps3.blogspot.com/
Lucandrake Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Holy flipping sweet. So when should I start downloading a bunch of software?
Agozer Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Neat. I wonder what Sony's answer outside of suing/trying to downplay this thing will be. This just goes to show that no hardware or software is ever hackproof.
Devia Eleven Posted January 25, 2010 Author Posted January 25, 2010 I enjoyed that as soon as this achievement was documented, people starting discussing and calculating which connections would be the best to download MSG4 with. Don't jump to concloochons people.
emsley Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 If its good sauce and the guy can be assed then its done. No modchip?
L.S.D Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Does that mean they can have custom firmware for the PS3 soon? Damn
Inky Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I forsee firmware wars like on the PSP, constant do nothing forced updates from sony and days later new CFW. Blueray is still too expensive for piracy. so unless they figure a way to play from harddrive with out a disc it's a nonstarter.
emsley Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 How the hell do you go from hacking Iphones to PS3 units?
