178w ago - The PS3 is hacked, at least according to
George Hotz on his latest blog entry (linked above)!!!
This news comes just under a month after he
resumed PlayStation 3 hacking!
To quote: "Hello hypervisor, I'm geohot
I have full read/write access to the entire system memory, and HV level access to the processor.
In other words, I have hacked the PS3. The rest is just software. And reversing. I have a lot of reversing ahead of me.
Took 5 weeks, 3 in Boston, 2 here, very simple hardware cleverly applied, and some not so simple software.
Shout out to
George Kharrat from
iPhoneMod Brasil for giving me this PS3 a year and a half ago to hack. Sorry it took me so long
As far as the exploit goes, I'm not revealing it yet. The theory isn't really patchable, but they can make implementations much harder. Also, for obvious reasons I can't post dumps. I'm hoping to find the decryption keys and post them, but they may be embedded in hardware. Hopefully keys are setup like the iPhone's KBAG.
A lot more to come..."

if you're able to modify HV code, why don't you modify your interrupts? this way you modify machine check (0x200?), illegal address translation (0x300?) and illegal instruction (0x400?) to output you the last accessed addresses. evade the problem of rebooting everytime :P
