That’s how modchips work in general but after many years of failures PlayStation security mechanisms are quite sophisticated. Jailbreaks in such cases involve chains of multiple exploits of different kinds. Hardware is often involved but software based exploits will be the most sought after as they’re easiest to for the end user.

@misk I think these modchip are exactly what would also really need in the android or iEvil world. Although I am not very sure, how could they be attached into a machine.
