PS3 'Private Key,' Enabling Unauthorized Code
UPDATE: Some tools for ps3 files. Expect some fail, this is still WIP. Check it out here: You must login or register to view this content.
UPDATE:
UPDATE: Sha1 hashes for some keys
UPDATE: The scam videos are gone now but the fake Fail0verflow account is still there. Don't get fooled by imposter's.
UPDATE: Watch out for Fail0verflow impersonators. They will scam you.
UPDATE: What Sony has to do to patch this! (Thanks manster)
1) Respin the hardware. There's an incredible exploit in that the verification of bootloaders loaded off the NAND/NOR is verified after they've been loaded, and then they're allowed to continue to execute. This is why ALL EXISTING PS3s on the market are from now on hackable. Really. There's nothing that can be done to stop this.
2) Design new firmware(s) that contains the infamous "whitelist" of all previously (and erroneously) signed software, but with new keys and new signature verification algorithms. Deploy these firmwares/loaders ONLY on the respinned hardware (see above).
3) For older hardware (that is, everything already produced from the factory and on the market) release new firmware that contains the new signature verification algorithms, but NOT any of the new keys. Remember, what you deploy on the old hardware is fully transparent. Update the loaders as well, as talked about in the presentation, since that will force everyone who wants to have a still jailbroken console to install a modchip (see #1).
4) Dual-sign all new stuff. Old broken consoles will be able to run it, and the new secure model will verify with new keys. Previously signed software will only execute on the new systems if they pass the whitelist-test.
UPDATE: What Marcan had to install in order to dump/change the NOR chip. This is probably what your going to have to do.
UPDATE:
This should be released by January
Fail0verflow releases this statement about Geohot
UPDATE: Marcan @ 27C3 Lightning Talk

Fail0verflow, the hackers responsible for the Wii's Homebrew channel, gave a presentation during the Chaos Communication Conference 27C3 in which they are claiming they have figured out the 'private key' used by Sony to authorize code to run on retail PS3 systems. This could potentially give "full control of the PS3 system," without having to use a usb device. For those of you who don’t understand yet, this will make us able to sign our own files with Sony’s encryption will and allow us to create our own software/homebrew and load it without even needing to jailbreak the PS3, because it will look like a legit piece of software from Sony.
Btw: PSN ACCESS NOT YET CONFIRMED
The group will explain more when their website launches, and have planned a demo for tomorrow's conference. But what they have explained is how Sony didn't bother generating any random numbers to secure the PS3. Look at the picture below.
Read the tweet below on what this is supposed to do. As it is not meant to enable PS3 game piracy.
But don't expect to see the website launch tomorrow. Fail0verflow told Joystiq the folllowing via twitter.
UPDATE: Full presentation after the break, courtesy of PSGroove.

not thirlled that ps3 is getting fully hacked, or soon will be, its cool to see it be done, but at the same time i think the future for psn will be stupid, things will get out of control if this info gets noob friendly for anyone to use, example: MODERN WARFARE 2 challenge lobbies andall the ahcks that people spread around. im all for having fun and exploiting stuff, but just dont think everyone having a fully hackable psn is the answer. i hope all the nubbies dont get ahold of this..like every other hack.

yea Mw2 is really screwd right now with al the noobies doing cl :bat:
but the roots keys are damm hot
CFW can be patched but root keys are like forever !
ist in your ps3 its not like a FW which you can patch !
sony made a Epic Fail on the root keys
its like choosing the same password for eveything where to log in 
Fail0verflow noticed that everytime te ''m'' appeard :wtf:
how stupid can you be sony ?
owke it took a while befor we discovered but now we did and this means the end of the ps3 .
now we dont need CFW we dont need Jailbreak :rolleyes:
all we need is OFW and the root keys .
how it works ...
we make our own homebrewe and want to instal it on the OFW ps3.
the ps3 reads it but it tells us . this is not sony official so cancel.
now we add the root keys into our homebrew .
try to install ps3 reads it .... heey this is official sony stuff so install and run.:p
now we have off cource piracy games.
Download it insert code, burn, Run & Play
with the Root Keys we ga make OUR stuff Sony Legal
Thnx GeoHot & Fail0verflow
REMEMBER : Do Not Update From CFW to OFW ! it Will Lead To Bann
