Geohot Found Root Key

You must login or register to view this content.

Well it seems Geohot has done it again. The hacker mostly known for cracking the iPhone now says he's found the keys to PlayStation 3.

What's the difference between Geohot's work and Fail0verflow's you ask? Well while Fail0verflow is in process of releasing tools to allow people to install Linux on their system, Geohot just went ahead and published the PS3's "root key".

Originally posted by another user

The root key is a signature of sorts, that lets the PS3 know that the program that's about to run on the console is a legitimate piece of software. If it's now out there, then once people start messing around with it, they'll be able to whip up anything - be that custom software or pirated games - and trick the console into thinking it's OK to load.

Mean time Fail0verflow have released some "PS3 development tools" as they have promised.

Can Geohot get jail time for doing this.?
I believe he can due to the fact that he is running no-registered programs.
Correct me if im wrong

And now Fail0verflow have gone into nerd rage at the fact they spent like ages indoor away from other people having no life developing tools and shit while Geohot comes along, and just releases all Fail0verflow's hardwork. Now that is quite funny. If only someone could have videoed their nerd rage.
