Since this was a useful thread I figured I'd post it again. And to start it off, Hypervisor related news .

on topic: i have to admit i understood absolutly nothing from that link in the opening post. looks like its very hard to hack the ps3 though. i hope we will have custom firmware eventually with the ability to play backups like on the psp.

from what I can understand team overfl0w claims you dont even need to entirely or at all custom firmware your ps3 since the security is so lame it almost lets about anything go through.

sounds like bs to me, if it was really that easy to bypass the security we would be able to play backups and other stuff by now.

They got access to Sony's universal key, basically they have the magic Key from FF1 and can do whatever they like with it. (they can sign their code the same way Sony does, this can't be patched ever, only roadblocked, which can be easily removed at anytime forever) The reason nobody ever tried to hack the PS3 was thanks to Linux already being on the system letting them do what they wanted. When Sony removed it hackers declared war and in just a few short months busted the thing wide open.

It didn't help that the PS3's security was so laughably bad that just finding one key will let them permahack the system. (even if a firmware update comes out that kinda blocks this, their key can override that firmware indefinitely) Sony effed up royally on their security.

A 1.50 firmware PSP is more secure than the PS3 at this point.

Happy Ps3 Hacking people!!!

And it all began with Linux...

Funny that the PSP keys have also been found, now nothing can stop custom firmware, because we don't need it anymore!

Even funnier, Sony can't do backwards compatability at all with either the PSP or PS3 on any future system without having them open to the homebrew that will come from this Magic Key*.

(*my term for the private keys)


Can't wait to try some of the ported emulators on my backup 60gig PS3 that I won't be connecting to the PSN until we know for sure how that will work.

Im still gonna stick to 3.41 just to be on the safe side.

[Inferno.]

So, as I understand it, no matter what model/firmware/whatever you have on your system, homebrew will be possible on any single setup. As aj already said, hackers just need to use these keys to sign off on their utilities and any system can use it.

[Rage]

Thats the thing, these asses are only fucking with EBOOT.BIN while they can just sign the Managers so we can use it on 3.55 but nooooooooooo their being brainless morons :/ sheesh if i knew how to sign a manager pkg id've done it myself.
