Playstation 3 fully hacked.

[Recursion]

and a jtag isnt on a dvd drive, dvd drive is just for copied games. i believe a jtag is in the NAND. and yes microsoft can do 300% better but im only refering to the security measures not the console. would this "argument" happen if we were in a windows forum talking about linux's security?

A jtag is a part of the hardware, not the software (NAND in this case), it's a port for diagnostics and testing.

And pre planned security? wut, that was the whole point in the encryption key.

i didnt start it, i believe it was you or stuto, i merely was stating that sony could take a leaf from mincrosofts book on pre-planned security.

How on earth was it me or Tom? Xbox hadn't even been mentioned until you posted.

Well i was merely bringing up security and it somehow turning into me being a fanboy :S

The encryption key is a layer of security, there is little to no server side security.

and as the term goes in the xbox modding scene A JTAG is a modified console that allows you to run unsigned Code.

But it's true. The thread wasn't about comparing security with other consoles so why are you doing so? You called Sony's security laughable compared to Microsoft's which is wrong and is why it is fanboyness.

Why are you bringing up server side security? Theres no such thing for running games. What about the people with no internet? And Xbox also doesn't have "Server side security", they just banned people from using the online service on consoles which were previously modified/hacked.

The thread is titled "playstation 3 finally hacked" and i was bringing up security as that was on of the reasons.

Technically even if your not connected to psn but there is another internet enabled device on the network, then the ps3 will still be contacting the servers.

Im sorry for talking the truth, ill vacate the forum for the day.

PS. Whoever said Geohot found the key, no he didn't fail0verflow did...

Graf_Chokolo gave Sony an ultimatum earlier today, over on XorLoser's blog. He stated that if Sony was to continue such tactics, that he will publish his IDA database, for the PS3's Hypervisor and Hypervisor processes. What this means, is that reverse engineering the hypervisor would immediately become much easier for other developers using IDA Pro Disassembler. IDA Pro is a popular tool, commonly used in reverse engineering software.

With the database anything is possible, more than currently. so in essence, sony backs off or the shizen hits the fan
