Google has been 0wn3d.

In under 24 hours a hacker broke into google's (beta) video search and made a patch to let you watch non google supported videos on the search. Ouch. Full story here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/zd/20050628/tc_zd/155004

Download the patch for google's video search here: http://nanocrew.net/?p=114.

You'll probably want to install the google video viewer as well.

Under 24 hours... that's not only incredible, it's also really scary.

(BTW googles video search works really well, the only problem was you could only view 1/10th of the videos, it's amazing with the patch. )


(edit: Wrong forum! Can one of the mods move this to misceilanneos?)

Im not dlin the patch form a 3rd party link, but that article is pretty cool.

EDIT: I used VLC before it was famous.

Uhm, I actually wonder what took that long...? I don't know how huge this code is but to remove nine rows of code is something anyone could've done. Granted I'm not familiar with hacking into systems etc. so that may have taken some time, dunno. Would be interesting to learn though. ...for educational purposes only, of course.

Sony has also been pwn3d. Hackers found a way to disable the security and blocking programs on the PSP so unauthorized software can be used.

^^can you plz tell me how or where I can find ways to do it?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

I wonder if Google will hire this person so as they can help them in fighting off other hackers?

It's happened before.

Yeah, it's been going on for ages, ever since the PS. Not surprising since they make them with the same Sony base and all. First it was the PS, then PS2, now PSP and then it's going to be PS3. Over here original CD's are like $45 for the good games but the illegal/unauthorised ones are like just $3 and they work properly and never screw up your system....talk about a bloody awesome bargain!!!
