PS3 Hacking Progress
George Hotz (Geohot) who is well known for hacking the iPhone is now having a go at the PS3.
On his blog he has posted:
It will be interesting to see what happens next.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.
3 years, 2 months, 11 days...thats a pretty secure system
Took 5 weeks, 3 in Boston, 2 here, very simple hardware cleverly applied, and some not so simple software.

Just goes to show, there is no un-hackable console. I could only imagine having a CFW on my PS3, so many emulators and homebrew and then you'd probably also be able to play PS3 games via hard drive too, that would be nice.
This is interesting... GeoHot is also the marker on my jailbreak on my iPhone. Blackra1n.
I'm sure soon we'll all be going out and purchasing a PS3 if we don't already own one.

I'm sure soon we'll all be going out and purchasing a PS3 if we don't already own one.I remember him saying he was thinking of buying one too, as was I. Then I went back to my 360, put homebrew on my Wii and somehow the thought never came up again.
Trebor! The Freshmaker
any of u lot think that him hackin this maybe highly unlikely.... or is it just me.
On the PlayStation 3: I know some function names...
He has progressed more than anyone else has, so progress is progress.
This is the first steps towards a hacked PS3, but as to having custom firmware or anything usable anytime soon i wouldn't hold your breath.
Remember it has taken over 3 years from the first Xbox 360 hack to get to the point where we have custom dashboards / firmware and unsigned XDK applications.
Real or fake?George Hоtz said...
I'm quitting, because it's impossible to hack ps3just read it on his blog. one of the comments there...
Probably a fake.

Speaking to the BBC, Geohot has revealed that his PS3 hack is around 95 percent software based and 5 percent hardware based. Moreover, he said his hack could be used for a variety of things including homebrew, PS2 games and piracy (of which the latter not supporting). Mr Hotz said that he had begun the hack last summer when he had spent three weeks analysing the hardware.
After a long break, he spent a further two weeks cracking the console, which he described as a "very secure system".
He said that he was not yet ready to reveal the full details of the hack but said that it was "5% hardware and 95% software".
