So what is it? Ps3 hacking is no longer limited to linux.Be happy,slim owners. They are gonna do something on XMB.All this happens so rapidly after sony blocked otheros.This is a lesson for sony.

The problem is that we need to find an exploit in lv1 in order to do anything interesting with the machine. Even if we find an exploit in lv2, lv1 can still defend the system from being compromised. There are two OSes which need to be compromised at the same time when we are in GameOS.

We're currently working on tools to reverse Lv1 and trying to find holes in it. It's going to take some time to get familiar with the system it self and it's stupid SPU asm. We are also short on exploited PS3s and people who actually understand SPU code. Some people don't even want to share their units for some reason even if we only want to test our applications.

There are just too many people out there who have a Ps3 and know how to program but don't have the necessary materials or skills to trigger the exploit. An Lv1 exploit is essential...

For summary: even a perfect Lv2_kernel.self dump wouldn't be helpful at the moment.
