Games: Playstation 3 Code Signing Cracked For Good

"It appears that Sony's PS3 has been fatally compromised. At the Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, a team named 'fail0verflow' revealed that they had calculated the Private Keys, which would let them or anyone else generate signed software for the PS3. Additionally, they also claim to have a method of jailbreaking the PS3 without the use of a Dongle, which is the current method. If all these statements are true, this opens the door to custom firmware, and homebrew software. Assuming that Sony doesn't take radical action and invalidate their private keys, this could mean that Jailbreaking is viable on all PS3, regardless of their firmware! From the article: 'Approximately a half hour in, the team revealed their new PS3 secrets, the moment we all were waiting for. One of the major highlights here was, dongle-less jailbreaking by overflowing the bootup NOR flash, giving complete control over the system. The other major feat, was calculating the public private keys (due to botched security), giving users the ability to sign their own SELFs. Following this, the team declared Sony's security to be EPIC FAIL!'"

oh about that, the JTAG can only be done on the old versions of the dashboard,

Maybe sony will have to do same as microsoft and release new firmware
 
^ I'm just saying, eventually the system will get hacked. Sony did well to have a longer run than others. Not really fanboy, your reply was more "fanboy-ish"

Not really, I have both systems and they both have their ups and downs

I just find it weird that your reply was basically against the xbox 360 when we are actually talking because is good that the system got hacked...
 
Damn been a while already. Gah I hope it wont be that same as the psp with all the kids running around with Infinite Health. Gonna have to buy a BluRay writer and some disks. Also I doubt sony wont be able to detect if the firmware was modified or something.

Lol it probably will, especially in COD games,

Microsoft managed to almost stop modders modifying games to do such things on xbox live in call of duty games but not completely, hopefully sony finds a way to do the same as Online multiplayer would be ruin if the modders get 100% control
