PS3s being used to nab pedophiles

I guess the PS3 really does do everything. Not content to be a game device, a Blu-ray player, and everything else Sony markets it as, the PlayStation 3 i﷽s also a handy to crack into the computers of suspected pedophiles and hang their kiddy-porn-loving arses out to dry.

Cops traditionally have used $1,100 Dell PCs in order to crack the passwords of computers they seize under a search warrant. The computers would be used to run through the near 282 trillion possible six-digit security codes available and crack into t🥂he PCs of pedophiles like they were delicious snow crabs.

However, cops have now discovered that they can use videogame consoles in order to perform the same task at a fraction of the cost. The PS3 is considered by cyber crime agent Claude E. Davenport to be “perfect for large-scale library attacks.”

Although the Xbox 360 is s🧸aid to be capable of the same feat, the PS3 was chosen because cops could install Linux on it. So yeah, the PS3 now sends pedophiles to jail. Great stuff.
