Hello Console Crunch
Here Some News About my Homeboy Geo Hot

My Friend Geohot was awarded with $150,000 from Google after revealing key exploits in the company'sChrome operating system, at the "Pwnium 4" security competition held at CanSecWest in Vancouver.

Here its more info Crunchers

The competition witnessed several hackers showcasing their talent in finding original and unreported exploits based on security bugs in Chrome OS such as Chrome coupled with Flash, Chrome OS kernel and firmware, and default apps on Chrome OS.

The famed iOS hacker has hogged the limelight for his past exploits with PS3 security bugs, prior to his venture with Facebook, iOSDevCamp and now Google's Chrome OS.

...

Geohot has been instrumental in the past for his work on unlocking iPhone baseband (05.11.07) on iOS 3.1.2 fetching him $10,000 as reward.

Recently, the hacker was accused of striking a deal for exchanging iOS 7 jailbreak for a staggering $350,000 bounty. He, however, denied having any such involvement with third-party companies.


.Congratulations to geohot for an epic Pwnium competition win. Pinkie Pie provided a fascinating set of vulnerabilities that will be rewarded through the Chrome VRP program. Moreover, one of the bugs exploited by VUPEN on Pwn2Own affected Chrome OS.

We're delighted at the success of Pwnium and the ability to study full exploits. We anticipate landing additional changes and hardening measures for these vulnerabilities in the near future. We also believe that both Pwnium submissions are works of art and deserve wider sharing and recognition. We plan to do technical reports on these submissions in the future.
