The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 7 March, 2011
On Saturday night, the well-known hacker Mathieu Hervais posted on his Twitter that he had found a way to exploit Sony PlayStation 3 firmware 3.56 although he refuses to release the details, as not to anger Sony.
Says Hervais:
I hesitated a lot before tweeting about it, but a bug allows exploiting metldr, the bootloader and 3.56+. I don't intent to ever unveil it.
So much for "unhackable" ... [ read the full article ]

Ehhh....if this lazy guy found it, then I am sure the others found it too; they are probably just waiting for 3.60 to get released.

Either he has the hack and is scared... lame. Or he is full of crap and has nothing... really how is hacking your console any different than jailbreaking your iphone or rooting your android, fcc said that was ok. If you baught it you own it and should be allowed to do with it as you please. My last ps2 that pissed me off got 2 slugs from my 44 magnum. A bit extreme but gets the point across. Ya know?

I'm so @#$ sick of people comparing the I-phone "jail break" (stupid term anyway) to cracking the PS3. This is like comparing apples and onions, morons. Jail breaking the phone was legal because it allowed you to use the phone with another provider. The PS3 hack allows people to damage Sony, all the legit users of the PS3, and all the developers of PS3. I don't see "jail breaking" the I-phone causing this kind of damage. The PS3 wasn't in your so-called "jail" it was a closed system for playing games. A court decision on the i-phone is not relevant to this case.
I hope Sony goes after this guy too. accoring to the DCMA (which is a crock of @!#$ IMO, but is the law none-the-less). breaking digital protection is not legal. ("jail breaking" an I-phone is not breaking any kind of digital protection of content, so please stop before you start that bull@#$t again.) What this guy has done is akin to saying "hey everyone, I robbed a bank and didn't get caught. But it's OKAY cause I'm not telling anyone how I did it. I'm a good guy and wouldn't do that. They can't come after me! I just want to brag about how wonderful I am." @#$#@$ moron.

Going only on what he's done so far, Sony has about as much right to "go after him" as they would if I said "Sony sux l0lzor" on 4chan. Sony should feel LUCKY that this guy's not releasing the exploit.

Sounds like he's just looking for attention. Hackers know how to release stuff totally anonymously if all they cared about was the hack rather than personal recognition.

Ya know with the online "features" and most games having half their content online. The only people to get most of the game for free are about as rare as the people buying it are plentiful.
Also with the right mods you can use your PS3 as a mini computer that can play more video and music formats.
Still at the end of the day more people will be bricked than are able to play "free" games.
Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

You're a Newbie, you support Sony's point of view. And you sir most likely are a Sony ringer account here to do some spin.
If not you're just a moron yourself. Jail breaking an iPhone or Rooting an Android device also allows you to put software or games you normally have to pay for in it for free. Allows you to do plenty of things that are against providers TOS. And what makes your comment both suspect (Sony ringer) and ignorant is the FACT that WE OWN OUR PS3'S!
Sony doesn't have a right to say what anyone can and can not do to a product that WE OWN. If they don't like it then on their end they fully have the right to ban the IP's and PSN accounts but they otherwise don't have a right to tell people what they can and can not do with property we own.

Ya its not good for them to own the hardware you have purchased.
And data is inherently information which is one part educational one part informational and one part inspirational, while you can limit who makes profit off the flow of that information to stop it just because soemone is not getting paid is quit scary IMO.

I don't find that rooting an Android phone is quite the same as jailbreaking an iPhone. You can install apk's using file explorer apps such as as Astro or Root Explorer. I've never been asked to provide superuser permission to any of these so I assume you'd be able to do use them non-root. Jailbroken iPhones have an alternative app store where they can get some paid apps for free, i think. There is no such repository for Android apps and the few free apk's you come across don't even need Root to be installed.
Just sayin'.

You own the console, yes. But that doesn't mean you can do anything you want with it. Hey I have an idea! Why don't you stand in front of my car for a few seconds? I own the car, so anything I do with it MUST be legal.... Yeah, stand right there, don't move.....
I hope you get the point that owning something does not give you all rights and no responsibility.
And no, I'm not a Sony shill. Just an angry PS3 owner. Tell me, why do so many people hate Sony so much, yet want to use the PS3 so badly?
As far as the other OS as an excuse to do so much damage to Sony? Well I suppose burning your neighbors house down to make his dog shut up would work. But still doesn't make it right.

They Hate Sony (I do) because they are money hungry grubs who will sell you down the river for 2 nickels!
They will do ANYTHING to protect their little money scheme and that includes damaging the future of technology. As long as they get their due.
They don't care that it's fair use or that it's no different than jailbreaking an iPhone or that you own it so should be able to do with it what you will (as long as you don't log into their network and cause damage which will ALWAYS be wrong)
Basically, they just don't give a rats ass about me, you or anyone or the future of technology.
So, people who DO give a rats ass... Like hackers or enlightened users speak up and bitch and moan and complain so that the debate doesn't just get swept under the rug.
Because like it or not this crap matters. Not just for the damn PS3 but for the entire technology world. Your future, my future, my kids future...
Oh, Im sorry... Did the middle of my sentence interrupt the beginning of yours?

Both of the cases in which you stated are in no way the same as modifying a piece of electronics that you yourself own. We're not condoning the use of the PS3 for any illegal activity (running someone over or burning down their house). All we're saying is if we want to "hack", "mod", "root" or whatever our PS3's in order to allow us to install and run any piece of software that we can make, purchase, or use for free (legally), then that is our right to do so. Since I bought the damn PS3 I can do with it whatever the hell I want, as long as that doesn't infringe on anyone else's rights.

Yeee haaaa. I'm an idiot! I always wondered what I was. Thanks for the heads up.
There is no winning with this crowd of whiners.
If someone isn't on your side they are an idiot (and according to me if you aren't on my side you are a moron.)
By the way it is a valid analogy. Breaking the law is breaking the law. Ownership of an item, be it electronic or mechanical, does not give you a free pass to break the law. I guess I'm an idiot who believes in the rule of law.
Hey I love hacking, but I don't do monetary damage to others lives. Sony is not a faceless company. Thousands work there. Many more thousands make a living and feed their children and families in related jobs (retail, developers, etc.) But What the F. Your rights are sooooo much more important.
I'm an idiot. Yeah. Right. At least I give a s#@$ about other people. You "sir" do not appear to do so.
Releasing hacks DO infringe on others rights. I guess it's good that this guy (article) isn't giving it out. He's probably just bragging something that he can't back up anyway.
We'll see who's right in the courts. I think you will be surprised and a bit disappointed. or maybe you will be right and then all development on PS3 stops dead. Thanks.
