Kernel Mode on Firmware 2.50 & 2.60!

Breaking news - full kernel mode access on firmware 2.50 and 2.60! Two programmers by the names of hitchhikr and Neural have released a proof-of-concept EBOOT which takes advantage of a new exploit discovered in Sony's 2.50 and 2.60 firmware revisions.

What does this mean? Well it means all the lovely homebrew compatible with firmware version 1.50 only ( Device Hook, DAX, iR Shell , etc…) will now be available on 2.50/2.60! Please note, this exploit does not exist in FW 2.0 and 2.01. And you will require Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories in order to execute this EBOOT.

The proof of concept simply creates a kernel memory dump in the root of your memory stick.
