PS3 Root Key Found

Posted by Soulskill on from the insert-quarter-to-play-again dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The PlayStation 3 'root key' used for code signing has been found by GeoHot. This enables running homebrew without the need for psjailbreak-style USB-devices, and also provides hope for those at firmware version 3.55 that currently cannot be downgraded. The key also cannot be changed without hardware modifications. Oops."

    Yes it is the same thing.

    Geohot is a credit stealer. Nothing more.

    Note how any of his announcements come on the heels of everybody else.

    He's a well known bullshitter in the scene.
