How the PlayStation 2 was hacked 20 years after its release

    All it took was a trick with the DVD.

    After the drive starts reading the disc, it generates a certain file, which in turn opens up the possibility for the user to examine the console's memory, as well as to use any arbitrary code.

    Recall that in order to launch a disk with a "pirated" game, previously it was necessary to "chip" the console with a special exploit built into the memory card.
