So apart from curing cancer, fighting crime and solving the world's energy crisis, The PS3's powers can also be used for evil? According to this article, it can.

New Zealand-based security researcher Nick Breese recently announced at the Kiwicon hacker conference in Wellington, New Zealand, his research findings regarding the possibility of utilizing Sony’s Playstation 3 to crack passwords . According to Breese the console can be used to crack passwords at speeds up to 100 times greater than the current best speeds of Intel hardware.

there is a tif exploit that came out many months back. apparently it works with bluray backups. there are bluray ps3 games on almost all torrent sites.

only catch is that its a bluray back for which you need a bluray writer which costs 500$
 
Of course, brute-force hacking is one of the best applications of parallel processing. unlike other parallel processing applications where a major chunk of the work is still left out to be done single threaded, this is one area where parallel processing units can be utilized to he max extent.

A Cell processor with its multiple processing units can be fully optimized for this kind of task. So its no wonder if it shines at brute force hacking.
 
Yeah, that's really what it is. This of course doesn't suddenly make it a mean, emulating machine or make it the favourable tool for pirating games.
