Wait, so your whole argument rests on the case that the PS3 can be used to hack other PS3s? Can you show me a proof of concept of this please? Because to steal information not only do you have to bypass your own encryption, but also the remote host's encryption, which I haven't seen anyone d yet. |
you so kmnow the PS3's are very good at breaking encryption! as a matter of fact they were used to break the internet's verisign MD5 encryption, yet it was 200 of them linked but since each and every ps3 is capable of
Each PS3 is capable of 4 million passwords per second
its not my whole argument.think about this for a sec..you know the answer the PS3 is one d@mn good crypto machine
and to give a little taste what just one can do:
PS3s used to capture child pornographers
US' Cyber Crimes Center begins using console's processing power to crack passwords on suspected sexual predators' protected files.
The report notes that while law enforcement agents can execute a warrant to secure the physical computers, the Fourth Amendment protects suspected predators from surrendering passwords and other encryption material. As such, the agency attempts to crack the passwords by using a program that tries all possible key combinations. The report notes that a six-digit password has nearly 282 trillion possible permutations, and the networked PS3 can attempt 4 million guesses per second.
Davenport went on to note that while other gaming consoles could technically also accomplish the task, the agency also needs to install software using the open-source operating system Linux. However, C3 must use pre-PS3 Slim units, as new restrictions introduced with the latest iteration of the console prevent the agency from installing the open-source operating system.

Why do you think Sony want's no Linux enabled PS3's accessing PSN after the Geohot hack.
I AM BOLO
