He’s a boy genius, continuing to work wonders on every version of iPhone software and hardware that’s been released. From the sound of things, he may have also cracked the PS3.

He posted to a new blog this week, saying:

I have read/write access to the entire system memory, and HV level access to the processor. In other words, I have hacked the PS3. The rest is just software. And reversing. I have a lot of reversing ahead of me, as I now have dumps of LV0 and LV1. I’ve also dumped the NAND without removing it or a modchip.

It’s a big step toward complete PS3 modification, but he mentions that it can be difficult to do and made more difficult once Sony is aware of the exploit.
