Isn't that exactly how ps3 homebrew first came about?

No. PS3 homebrew first came about with OtherOS. Then HV-level exploits happened with memory glitching hardware attacks and OtherOS was removed. Then people found out about an exploitable bug in the USB stack and the PSJailbreak dongle was created. Then fail0verflow realized that just about everything was broken, including the signature algorithm that Sony was using (DSA based algorithms require a random number as input - if you can find 2 signatures using the same number, you can get the private key out of it).

Wasn't this leaked from sony? It's not a bug, it puts it into factory service mode. I'm fairly certain this was found because someone leaked it.

Definitely not. It does not put into factory service mode, far from it. It exploits a heap buffer overflow in the USB handling of the PS3.

Uh...



Maybe it's a different thing? I don't really know the specifics, but i do believe this was leaked.

Maybe it was, but it had almost no relevance to PS3 hacking. That's far from being private key leaks.

Factor Service Mode was infact leaked as was a file that could be used for downgrading the firmware
