Geohot PWNS Sony PlayStation 3, Posts Root Keys In Public Encouraging Homebrew

As expected GeoHot has finally pwned Sony PS3 posting METLDR root key publicly. The "root-key" or “private key” is used by the console to block unauthorized access to system-critical portions of the internal firmware effectively preventing piracy and hacking. Giving credits to German hackers fail0verflow for "asymmetric half" GeoHot posted the keys opening PS3 gates for developers, hackers, crackers and pirates to exploit it as per their will.
