but i will say this is bad because revealing any sercuity flaws on the internet when 99% of the time it would be used for bad not good like this guy is wanting with the linux.

So i am on sony side on this

If you are a "security researcher" you would do that to improve security, so the person you should publish your discovers should be the creator of the system so they improve... then if you publish a way to harm the system you are not a security researcher but a security breacher...

All in all they are hacker doing for themselves, changing names is just to give them some credibility.

@thranx: And would you bet that the hackers used 100% their own programation lines? I doubt more than 10% is made by them and the other 90% is from sony. And the master keys are sony software and if they extract or use they are wrong again...

Well seeing as sony is accusing them of that  I would say yes for now. Do you not think sony would have more support and an actual case if they had evidence of that? come on now, sony is no little company that can't gather that kind of info. please read the article.

And one thing is cracking/hacking or anything you want to do with your PS3, but if your actions harm someone and that person or company decide to react don't pretend to be surprised or that they are malicious toward you... if someone did bring harm to you using your toys you would also attack back, but i must remember that hackers are good person that never created virus or done anything wrong, they are almost virtual saints.

Proove these have. that is all that is needed by sony. these guys have not. PLease read the article.
