Should you have 200 some odd PS3s lying around the ol’ homestead, you may as well link those bad boys together, setup shop, and forge some trusted SSL certificates… That’s what a team of researchers from the U.S., Switzerland, and the Netherlands successfully pulled off using a large PlayStation 3 cluster. They plan to detail their technique at the 25th Chaos Communication Congress (25C3) in Berlin today.
At issue is the crypto technology used to ensure visitors to Amazon.com, for example, are actually connected to the online retailer and not to a fake site erected by a fraudster. That assurance comes from a digital certificate that’s vouched for and digitally signed by a trusted authority like Verisign. The certificate is transmitted to a user’s browser and automatically verified during SSL connections — the high-security web links heralded by a locked-padlock icon in the browser.
Key to the signing process is a so-called hash function — an algorithm that turns a digital file into a small fingerprint of a fixed size. To prevent forgery, the hash function must make it practically impossible for anyone to create two files that will boil down to the same hash.

Whether you’ve just cracked open that virgin PS3 this morning, or you’ve been using and abusing that beautiful piece of hardware since day one, you need a quality media server that isn’t troublesome or a headache-inducing annoyance… That’s when this cross-platform Java written PS3 Media Server comes into the picture.
PS3 Media Server features: - Ready to launch and play. No codec packs to install. No folder configuration and pre-parsing or this kind of annoying thing. All your folders are directly browsed by the PS3, there’s an automatic refresh also.
- Real-time video transcoding via MEncoder, tsMuxer or Avisynth.
- DVD ISOs images / VIDEO_TS Folder transcoder.
- OGG/FLAC/MPC/APE audio transcoding.
- Thumbnail generation for Videos.
- You can choose with a virtual folder system your audio/subtitle language on the PS3!
- All formats PS3 natively supports: MP3/WMA, JPG/PNG/GIF/TIFF, and all kind of videos (AVI, MP4, TS, M2TS, MPEG) the ps3 is willing to play.
- ZIP/RAR files as browsable folders for pictures/audio files.
- Preliminary support for pictures based feeds, such as Flickr and Picasaweb.
- Preliminary Internet TV / Web Radio support with VLC, MEncoder or MPlayer.
Windows only:
- Lossless 5.1 PCM transcoding with DTS movies.
Ed even says it streams MKV’s with ease.
Now, because this project is likely to be updated frequently, I’ll link you to the Google Code page for all available downloads.

Detailed in a lengthy post over at StreetskaterFU’s blog are potential vulnerabilities discovered with the way Home operates…
For example: using an apache web server with simple dns redirection, it’s said you could possibly customize the various Home environments, changing videos, posters, text, etc. These customizations would only be visible to you, unless of course, others are using the rigged name server.
The other supposed vulnerabilities — downloading, uploading, or deleting any file from the Home server — seem implausible as they can only be achieved by real time packet manipulation; and again, that’s according to StreetskaterFU. Who knows what security Sony has actually implemented “behind the scenes.”
So keep in mind, while technically this could all be possible; it goes untested and should be considered speculation. Really, it’s completely theoretical.
