Sony appears to have patched it from firmware 4.06 and up. The adieu in the title appears to refer to bidding a farewell to the exploit rather than a codename for it ;-) Great and insightful write-up nonetheless!
Is it me or Sony has become good at protecting its software ? I remember a time when every new console would be hacked within the year it was released.
If anything the PS4 is a downgrade from the PS3 here. The PS3 ran everything in a hypervisor.

I don’t know much about it, but some other users were implying that they now use freebsd when previously they rolled their own OS. If that’s the case, it makes sense.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I guess if people want this to happen they should goad George Hotz by telling him he can't possibly beat the protection.

The PS3 appears to run a fork of FreeBSD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_system_software
Their kernel is so far from FreeBSD though that it doesn't even have a fork(2).

PS3 was out for ~3 years before it was hacked.
Am I reading it correctly that it's possible to invoke syscalls from Javascript? That seems like a monumentaly bad idea...

From what I've observed, this is where the unending cat-and-mouse game begins for Sony.
