Geohot Found Root Key
Well it seems Geohot has done it again. The hacker mostly known for cracking the iPhone now says he's found the keys to PlayStation 3.
What's the difference between Geohot's work and Fail0verflow's you ask? Well while Fail0verflow is in process of releasing tools to allow people to install Linux on their system, Geohot just went ahead and published the PS3's "root key".

The root key is a signature of sorts, that lets the PS3 know that the program that's about to run on the console is a legitimate piece of software. If it's now out there, then once people start messing around with it, they'll be able to whip up anything - be that custom software or pirated games - and trick the console into thinking it's OK to load.
Mean time Fail0verflow have released some "PS3 development tools" as they have promised.

Pretty sure GeoHot could make anyone look bad, but picked Sony because of course there a big company, a good job opportunity for him if you ask me
