The PlayStation 3 (PS3) homebrew scene has undergone a paradigm shift from the era of "Jailbreak" USB dongles and Custom Firmware (CFW) to the modern "Homebrew ENabled" (HEN) exploits. While CFW replaces the system's core firmware files, HEN utilizes a flash-based exploit chain (specifically exploiting the lv2 kernel and lv1 hypervisor) to patch the system memory temporarily at boot.
