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."

  1. GeoHot did NOT find the root signing key. by Khyber · · Score: 0, Troll

    He used the work of others, most notably the guys that just got the private keys.

    The other guys are the ones truly responsible for this. GeoHot, as he tends to do, is just trying to take credit.

    He's a known bullshitter in the scene.
