They had to get through PS3's little brother the psp, next up was the DS then the Wii, Xbox360 now the boss of them all.. behold the PS3!!

Imagine if Sony offered George a job in quality assurance/security?
Offer him $500K a year
Or something to get him on their side?
I mean if not Sony, and Apple didnt entertain the idea, someone else will, right?

geohot says he is easily making an iso loader in 2 hours.

This is very cool news and will be interesting to follow. Thanks and +rep.

do you think there's any chance of a homebrew channel for the ps3?

ps2 iso loader? it is possible, dont expect a ps3 iso loader there is a 4gb file limit and all ps3 games are above that, so that wont work

He could attempt to reverse the firmware and get it to accept files above that size, or ripped games (knowing how many games are half video, half game itself)

"Here's your Silver Platter

In the interest of openness, I've decided to release the exploit. Hopefully, this will ignite the PS3 scene, and you will organize and figure out how to use this to do practical things, like the iPhone when jailbreaks were first released. I have a life to get back to and can't keep working on this all day and night.

Please document your findings on the psDevWiki. They have been a great resource so far, and with the power this exploit gives, opens tons of new stuff to document. I'd like to see the missing HV calls filled in, nice memory maps, the boot chain better documented, and progress on a 3D GPU driver. And of course, the search for a software exploit.

This is the coveted PS3 exploit, gives full memory space access and therefore ring 0 access from OtherOS. Enjoy your hypervisor dumps. This is known to work with version 2.4.2 only, but I imagine it works on all current versions. Maybe later I'll write up how it work


Good luck!
