As I said in another post, this new user mode expolit should allow a new e-loader for "user mode" homebrew.

What we really need is a kernel mode expolit to allow us to run a firmware loader. Similar to Devhook from a few years ago.

Please remember that there is no way around the new IPL loader on the 88v3 without knowing the hashing algorithm. Trying to figure that out is the same as trying to figure out the algorithm used to sign code. (almost impossible)

Also remember that the new IPL loader makes it impossible to run firmware lower than 4.00

SCE won't sign the release off. It would have to be hidden well enough to get through QA and the build environment.

If it did get through, as soon as the exploit is public, there would be a product recall and patch. (the same thing happened with GTA LCS)

I cant post the real url because someone has banned Virgin ISPs from the website which annoys me like hell, so use this url if your like me on Virgin.

Other than that its great to hear from Fanjita and the NooBZ guys again

You shouldn't find that you're being banned from the site, just warned via a banner that your ISP is keen to sell you down the river. This should be true for Virgin, BT and TalkTalk, other ISP customers should see nothing different. Can you PM me with your IP address so I can double check it? Sounds like the PhormCheck code is being a bit over-enthusiastic.

BTW, as a UK webmaster you should make sure you're on top of the whole Phorm issue - it's a threat to your copyrighted content.

Of course, I was using "downgrader" as shorthand for "way to install custom firmware" in the post - downgrading direct to v1.5 is old hat these days, but "downgrader" is a convenient, easy-to-understand term for a wider concept.

You should now find that you just get a banner (I hope, can't test it for sure until I get home). The Anti-Phorm configuration was being too paranoid.
