- propter_hoc 4y ago100%, TheFloW is a legend in the Vita community. Every time Sony released a new firmware fixing one of his exploits, he released another one, until Sony stopped updating the Vita.
- bozhark 4y agoWhy hasn’t Sony offered to hire them? edit: or contract
- ethbr0 4y agoBecause Sony is fine with having a shit security culture? And patching issues only when they make the news?
- saagarjha 4y agoMaybe they have, a lot of people would rather not work in that kind of environment though.
- bentcorner 4y agoLooks like he already does security work for Google.
- aasasd 4y agoThe guy also developed quite a bunch of useful low-level software—he and Rinnegatamante basically carry the homebrew/jailbreak community for Vita, at least lately. Meanwhile, his twitter says ‘Security Engineer @ Google’. Bit weird that he didn't turn this into a jailbreak for PS5, though. But perhaps I'm missing something about PS5's firmware update scheme.
- rawbot 4y agoFloW and Rinne are the heroes of Vita homebrew. They basically saved the device after Sony dropped support suddenly.
