| Marty8370 said: Cell chip has security built into it, at hardware level. That is why it's been imposible too crack so far. Quote: "The architecture's main strength is its ability to allow an application to protect itself using the hardware security features instead of the conventional method of solely relying on the operating system or other supervisory software for protection. Therefore, if the operating system is compromised by an attack, the hardware security features can still protect the application and its valuable data. As an analogy, consider the protection the supervisory software provides as the castle's moat and the Cell BE security hardware features as the locked safe inside the castle". http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/power/library/pa-cellsecurity/ |
all consoles have always had hardware level security features. That doesn't make it impossible to crack, it just makes it more difficult.
The PS3 will get cracked, believe me, it's just a matter of time.
Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!
