195w ago - Over the weekend
geohot, famous for unlocking Apple's iPhone, has posted a few tweets on his
Twitter account that he has began looking into hacking Sony's PS3 console.
He has also dropped by our Forums to enquire about the PS3
Hypervisor Decryption Keys, and has been in touch with
CJPC via IRC as well.
To date,
geohot has reported the following via tweets:
"ooo got access to a couple more pages of ram...still no hypervisor there tho. it's hiding in the top 2 MB.
anyone know if the 360 guys had a pt hypervisor to reverse?
my goal is to break out of the hypervisor... then see what my morals will allow.
gotta flip one little bit to hack the ps3. unfortunately the ps3 doesn't want me to flip it.
so, the hypervisor is in the first 0x1000 pages of RAM...think I could just pull an address line down and dump? not from kernel tho
PS3 memory map
http://pastie.org/589218 ... why did I think this would be useful again? i really want these dumps @ bootloader
it'd be nice if that worked, linux accesses sandboxed part of nand... 4mb of uselesses.
hacking the PS3, not hacked in three years how long will it take me?"

That's pretty sad. Well, it happens...
I was too following his post on twitter and the impression I got is that he expected something simpler and faster to do. As no exploit was easily found and he wasn`t finding ways to get to the hypervisor, he kinda gave up for the time being. That`s only my impression though...
