Hacking F00D (lvl0 secutity) apparently hacked

[happydance]

It is true that you rarely need to restart vita but at the same time cold boot gives you a lot of options like downgrade/upgrade, write protection to parts of firmware that you don't want to upgrade and stuff like that.

With proper hack you can essentially run newer firmware with parts of old one. Meaning latest updates, full access to PSN etc. At least this is how it is done in 3DS scene.

I guess that's something I would look forward to

I suppose this is still 3.60 only?

If it's the same as on PS3, then yes. You need an exploitable firmware. But that also means that any future updates can be signed so you can update and still have a hacked system. Though we have to wait for more details from xyz.

This isn't an actual f00d hack. This is an open-source mechanism for communicating with f00d.
A hack would generally mean being able to run your own code on f00d. Right now you can only interact with f00d using its own API and all of the limitations of untampered Sony code.
This release represents a step forward though. Being able to communicate with f00d means that you can more easily investigate ways to exploit it.
Hacking f00d is potentially about getting keys and being able to decrypt stuff free of signature checks. I'm speculating a bit here but things like 3.63+ firmware emulation, PSN spoofing and 1:1 game dumps (to an extent) are likely governed by the availability of running your own code on f00d.
A f00d hack is not really about having coldboot cfw - it might be possible to exploit one of the f00d binaries executed as part of the boot sequence but you're much more likely to be able to fnd a usable exploit further down the chain of trust where there's a greater attack surface.

tl;dr it's nothing yet and you may be expecting the wrong thing if f00dhax truly does become real.
