(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); i know that bruteforce attacks take forever but if you have 10 ps3s and like a supercomputer or a few very powerful pcs and on each one run a bruteforce attack on the ps3 between different values that way it takes less time?

Wouldn't help. Not sure why bruteforce would do anything with the keys that are around now..

well, how did geohot find the keys?

SO much fail... So little words.

Take it from me, someone who has played around with bruteforce before. It would take a few thousand YEARS to bruteforce something that size. Anyways why do we need to brute force, its not encrypted.

Geohot didn't find the keys, FailOverFlow did.

sony are retarded and used the number 4 instead of a random number in there security, then by that you can firgure out the rest of the equation.

Don't worry about bruteforcing, I have the answer to all things right here: 42
=nuff said=

Then the 3.60 keys are found.
New firmware, 3.70 is then released with different keys.
Sony have the ability to change the keys whenever they want.
These keys are not static, and so, as we have seen, the keys for 3.55 were found, then sony simply blacklisted those keys.

You may ask me, what about the old games which were signed with the old keys?
Simple, sony whitelisted them.
But you may ask me, why not use those old keys to sign homebrew and run if sony had white-listed them?
Well, sony use a SHA-1 verification, so that if it's not a SHA-1 hash of the old game, it won't work.
And there is no way to actually make a hack with the same SHA-1 if you know what that is.

how can you figure out the rest from a number4?

Simple algebra
