PS3 keys finally released

[Rydian]

Wonder how long until somebody released a signed "launcher" program that launches unsigned homebrew. Though I wonder if the homebrew will need to be modified it be launched by it.

Giving a hacker complete control of all security seems like a great solution.

But no one has ever thought of the fact that some may have malevolent intentions, and may leave hidden "passageways", or security flaws that only they can access. I'm sure Geohot isn't that terribly evil, but being the general unlikable person he is, I'm sure that once he gets ahold of the reins, he's going to keep them.

 

[spotanjo3]

Is it possible for Sony to change that key by updating the console or something else ?

From my understanding at psx-scene link.. No, Sony can't. Poor sony, lol.

 

[ManFranceGermany]

if you want your next console to be secure, get in touch with me. any of you 3.
it'd be fun to be on the other side.

*lol
Very nice

Well, Money rules the world =o)

They can't change the common key as that would loose the ability to run current PS3 games. However, a newer model with a different security system with the same private key could make another game of cat and mouse.

and thats why he will never be trusted or given a job at any company

he had the keys and decided to release them to the public instead of contacting the company with the keys

I guess he has some good job already though if he can do all this and be smug about it
QUOTE(SPH73 @ Jan 2 2011, 05:46 PM) This could scare away developer support. It could be PSP all over again. (Although some PSP devs stuck around to the bitter end, most jumped ship early.) Sony doesn't need any more bad news.

why are you quoting year old news that has nothing to do with the topic?

You're wrong.

By "you 3"

He means

1) Nintendo
2) Sony
3)Apple

 

[GeekyGuy]

Ah well, PS3 had a good run, I guess. Sad fuckin' day, as far as I'm concerned. Wii is one thing, but online gaming will die a quick death on PS3.

So...
What exactly is this?

Dang, I was just about to correct him on that.

No...It's Apple....

Geohot didn't have ANYTHING to do with Microsoft.

He didn't ave anything to do with the Wii ether but meh.

When the big three are referred to, none of them are Apple. Apple is a wannabe gaming system that will never actually get there. The three will be, until future notice, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony. It doesn't matter what he has worked with, the fact is, he can hack really well. Any gaming company would be happy to be able to make their system hack proof (well, as hack proof as it can get until a better hacker wanders along).

Apple doesn't quite fit in that list, though Microsoft do. Though Microsoft seem to have a decent security team anyway.

Geohot was a major driving force behind the entire jailbreak community, releasing a plethora of holes and exploits used in various jailbreaks.

 

[ThePowerOutage]

Just to clarify, not all the credit goes to geohot on this one, he just followed fail0verflows steps inless he is in fail0verflow, which I doubt due to the way he used fail0verflow.
Also, on the idevice scene, he made the first unlock, blackra1n and the limera1n exploit for life, and though he worked on other things he wasn't the main individual.

I think it can be Apple or Microsoft really. They both fit in.
But I feel Apple to be more suitable since he mostly worked n that.

Their security team is okay. Nothing to really be proud of. It does seem to at least be a bit better than others though.

If he was only referring to things that he hacked, then what is the third? Still makes the most sense to name the companies of the three main consoles.
