Here’s something interesting for the weekend. iPhone developer Geohot claims to have been finally able to hack the PS3.
Here’s what the dev posted on his blog:
I have read/write access to the entire system memory, and HV level access to the processor. In other words, I have hacked the PS3. The rest is just software. And reversing. I have a lot of reversing ahead of me, as I now have dumps of LV0 and LV1. I’ve also dumped the NAND without removing it or a modchip.
Geohot further adds that even though he’s not revealing the exploit yet, it’s not patchable by Sony. Firmware updates could however make implementation harder. There’s no mention of what firmware he’s working with.
Geohot — if it is the same one — made his mark on the iPhone homebrew community with a baseband unlock for firmware 3.1. Without further proof I’ll have to put this under rumor for now. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if this turns out to be the real deal.
