tiff isn't just for hacking...it is an image file after all, so it could be just a delayed loading of the image.

If it would be real, it would have been discovered by team ICE first I'd say, and more than that, the video is UGLY, and you can't find anything of that (proof, infos) online, so it's totally fake.



Not that we won't see see this soon, I'd say this month it's gonna pop, yes, but this one is fake, it smells, lol.

April fools!

looks like the ps3hax kids found this post and are downvoting me xD

The help popup doesn't appear on every firmware. It's blatantly fake.

it takes so long because it has to "OVERFLOW" a certain buffer, a buffer loads files. DUH when it gets overflown then you can redirect it to run other code. namely homebrew. this looks real to me. as being someone who uses homebrew on four of his psps I think I would know a bit better than you folk if it was fake or not. I call REAL and homebrew to follow within the month. Cheers to Team Ice.

just give us a hello world file that we can put on the PS3 like any PSP hombrew

Not too closely, obviously. They stole it from Tavis Ormandy, a Unix security programmer.

Wtf sort of hello world is that? we need either better quality video or a file to run ourselfves. That is just to blurry to confirm or discard.

FreePlay Says Everything Fake So Dont Count On It QJ..

Hardly stolen, its a well known hack that has been used with success on other platforms, but is also patchable. Yes ICE's work is almost a complete carbon copy of older work, but that does not leave rule out the possibility of a possible exploit coming from this. I don't believe any will because I feel Sony has covered their bases squarely in the department of exploits-of-old if you will, and I think it will take something new and creative to break the PS3.



That said I also want people to keep an open mind and stop lipping off about the community, as it drives many would be hackers to the point where they just don't care, it happens a lot in the PSP community for instance, where people exalt DAX but other people who also work hard get no recognition, and all DAX and M33 get are flames when they say they aren't going to release immediately...



It is this attitude that creates more of a community issue than any other. All I was saying is that if an exploit could be found, what would the point be in making a release publicly until we actually had code for people to use. Why would somebody release an exploit to a guy who "runs homebrew on 4 of his psp's"... because that comment proves he knows nothing about homebrew or what it takes to make a cfw.



There is a big step from an exploit to a custom firmware, I personally hope the good people at sony open the PS3 to bedroom devs before somebody cracks it, because if somebody cracks it an ISO loader will be on the way, and that is the real reason bozo's like Mr. 4PSP's log onto Qj.net every 5 minutes to check for CFW's.



All I ever said was that people who just download and install hacks and cfw's need to keep an open mind and not mouth off about things they don't understand, like the amount of time it takes to overflow a buffer, or the legitimacy of a claim by the idiots above who made that vid. Anyways, in reality a buffer overflow could take hours to fully run its course if there was a chimp writing the code.



Clean code will be the key to cracking the PS3, and as ICE has already said, people have to know what codes to make. All Ice did was take bits and pieces of other peoples work and make them run with the PS3, other hackers have tried tiff exploits on the PS3, but Team ICE's is the most promising so far, and still a long way off,both from an actual exploit and running unsigned code. I am not a security specialist, I am a programmer, and all I said is that I wanted to take a second crack at it through this method, and got nothing. Now thats all said, there are other teams than ICE out there too, and all of them are working on their own little specialties. So there is no need to go trashing other peoples work, until you have your own.

Over the years of Qj viewing i have noticed a problem.There is just to much homebrew news and not enough real news. I dislike homebrew alot and i would like you to do something about it. My idea is that every section of Qj such as PSP PS3 and Xbox360 have two sections such as official news and homebrew related news. Many would say who cares if u dont like it skip it but that is where there is another problem. The PSP section used to be fun with exciting news but now its just filled with homebrew. When i want to get to a real article i would have to go to the next paje because there is homebrew news constantly coming in. I think it would be wise Qj if you would look into this.



What i would like to do is have a pole or petition to make this happen. I dont have a clue how to do any of this and was hopeing that someone could create a website for this or something. I would like to spread the word about this idea and was wishing that you Qj could make an article about this problem.

give me a reason to hate homebrew. they're just apps

can we stop with the ps3 homebrew thing. it was cool on the psp for free games and emulation but its just silly for a ps3. im not taking any chances on breaking my expensive console so i can do things that are easier on the pc located 3 feet away. lets focus on firmware updates that make the system more fun rather than constant system security updates. i want in game XMB this year not next decade.
