Reply With QuoteI've been telling people for ages not to upgrade. Now they finally listen to me.
These will be hard times with the upcoming 3.0 upgrade. Don't waste your PSP just because it can "emulate" Playstation games that you have to pay for. Just wait for the homebrew emulator.

2.81 firmware
It has always been a cat and mouse relationship between hackers (or attackers according to FrSIRT) and Sony. And by cat and mouse by no means do we refer to Tom and Jerry, but the carnage that is Itchy and Scratchy and the nasty ways they've figured out to hurt or in this case outwit one another.
Take the case of DevHook. Some time in August the developer received a Cease and Desist Order from Sony that lead to the site's shutdown. But that little stint only caused developers to get even. Hence, the release of numerous downdaters/downgraders. While others like DreaDNoughT took the more comical approach by releasing a satirical game called Hackers vs Sony.
When FrSIRT reported that "A vulnerability has been identified in Sony PSP, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands," it's like music to hackers' ears. We can only speculate that this urged Sony to take the defensive and release v2.81, with a v2.81 badge flashing across their site. However, it is so far only available in Europe as the US site still has v2.80 on their System Update page. Even the Sony's Official Japanese site doesn't have this release.
Which can only lead us to speculate, wait and speculate some more on what Sony is up to. At this point, we can only give you a friendly reminder: If you still want to play your homebrew, do not upgrade. look at yourpsp and see the 2.81 firmware update

if i remember correctly, P2P is perfectly legal. It becomes illegal the moment you share copyrighted documents
anyway, Sony ain't gonna stick with security patches for long. It's probably a matter of time before we see TA-083s...lol
