Holy cow, I forgot how toxic slashdot comments were... first non-modded comment is like Xbox Live level racism.

While I understand this is impressive work, my understanding of the FreeBSD-kernel on the PS4 is not enough to warrant some kind of understand -- Python, however, is my forte, and oh my... I think he hacked Python too! :)

I had to reread the article to see the decoder and decryptor and some other snippets is python.

But what do you feel is a hack, the way he used the langauge, not pythonetic enough, or something else?
