joeorc, he didn't use a mod chip. He loads a kernel module while injecting a square wave (400ns duty cycle IIRC) onto a pin on the motherboard. It doesn't work all the time. You have to keep trying. That's why I say it isn't really a hack. It's not something that most users will be able to achieve. Signal generators, even surplus, are not that cheap. It isn't like he is offering the world a modchip for $10.

that is a mod chip..a modification chip is what?

you cannot say just because the Mod chip is very simple in it's function that it's not a mod chip!

the blunt truth is Geohot used a physical modification chip to with software to break the security and encryption of a part of the PS3.

End of story man. it is a Mod chip.

 

Definition: A modchip is a tiny electronic device that is used primarily to circumvent (or get around) the internal protection schemes within today's most popular gaming consoles, including the Xbox, GameCube, PlayStation 2, and other popular CD or DVD media based systems. The most popular use of a modchip is to play 'pirated,' or illegal game copies. Obviously this is illegal in most parts of the world, including the USA and Europe, and at a bare minimum the use of a modchip will void your console's warranty.
bingo!
