Sony won't budge!

Stotheamuel, the info for the plugins states it can use programs from the memstick.I disagree, and think it will be very possible to write to flash from a website.In fact it may be part of sonys plan to further secure their firmware after the ps1 emu IMO.

What is the reason you think this is unlikely?

Doesn't xbox update the kernel and or dashboard online?

xbox doesnt have flash access though (unless TSOPPED OR chipped)

xbox kernel and dashboard is software so it can be updated online somehow.

well there are uhhh game loaders and guess what NORMAL DEVHOOK supports it so i dont see how sony is pissed about it. infact if sony allowed homebrew 1 million loaders would come out and destroy sonys psp (or it games)

Ah, okay wally thanks for explaining that to me
Maybe that wasn't a good example.
Either way the info for 2.8 says it can use programs from your memstick with the plugin.
So if you have a program on your memstick that can write to flash the vulnerability is there.
