Exploits Club Summary:
Look, we have some fond memories associated with the Tony Hawk pro skater series. We also have some fond memories with the PS2 which GrimDoesStuff clearly does not share. But in his recent upload, Grim walks us through a vulnerability he found and exploited in Tony Hawk Pro Skater. The bug is an overflow stemming from an unchecked strcpy when naming a super sick gap you created. He demonstrates how this can be used to jailbreak the console remotely by playing with friends who have a modified version of the game set-up. While the video primarily focuses on the uses for the exploit, the full write-up can be found here.
