Yesterday at the Chaos Communication Congress, in Berlin, a report was presented to the public called Console Hacking 2010.
The beginning of the conference was devoted to the current state of protection of consoles: Wii, Xbox360. Later, the storytellers switched to PS3, explanations were given about the exploit of Geohot, released several months ago. It is told about the current methods of circumventing the protection of PS3, such as jailbreak and service mode / downgrading.

The main news was the new victories over the PS3 protection system.
One of the main successes achieved is a dockless jailbreak of the PS3 loader, giving full control over the system. Due to the implementation errors of the PS3 cryptographic protection, it is also possible to calculate private keys, now users have the opportunity to sign their own code.
