Another PS3 Exploit? UPDATE

[wraggster]

Team Ice has posted details of a possible exploit for the PS3:

First we found an exploit to run SELF files in gameos. Then we coded an application which converts ELF files into runable SELF files. We can load these with our exploit. The coding is not finished, we still have to clean the code, that we will get an screen output. The SELF files are running, but screen doesnt show this atm. When this is fixed we could release a hello world

Update: Team ICE has released another video using an exploit in Motorstorm

how do you know it is running if nothing is on the screen?

are the status lights sending out morse code?

are the status lights sending out morse code?

lol... There are ways of telling, but i doubt they are using them. They are likely just assuming thats what's happening, when it could also have just crashed.

The chances of this actually working are slim, but the chances of a more experienced hacker coming in and hacking that same thing is better.

Well the fact it displays a black screen with their code shows that something is happening. They might just need a few lines of code to output the instructions correctly.

If this is real then awesome but I doubt it

A possible exploit on the Playstation 3? That's good, let's see if it will lead to anything good.

Dude, thats cool and all, but any chance we could avoid videos that auto-play? Now i have to hear this every time i go to check for my PS3 news until its covered by new stuff.

On another note: This is really good. I'm still worried about the "Not the newest firmware, no online for you" deal. Forgive me if i wait before turning my PS3 into a homebrew console. I know they'll eventually work around it.

have i missed these other ps3 exploits? on topic, ill keep an eye on this, considering most exploits begin with crashing the console then move onto running code in the same situation, this could go either way.
