https://xkcd.com/221/ for those not in the know

And for the full fail story behind it, fail0verflow hacking the PS3 presentation is great and covers the bug: https://youtu.be/DUGGJpn2_zY

Most of the console hacking talks are great, both informative and entertaining.

  • This comic predates that presentation, in fact they use it in their slide deck at 39:00 in your linked video.

    That presentation is awesome though, worth a watch either way!

CVE-2008-0166 (Debian OpenSSL Predictable PRNG Vulnerability) inspired xkcd/221 but this sort of thing happens a lot :)
