It's not looking very promising... the only services actually open on that box right now is:
SSH
HTTP
IDENT
The chances of someone finding an exploit in sshd AND the necesary asm to execute on the sony architecture are EXTREMELY low.
The httpd seems to be pretty secure/plain, no dynamic content to break into
and the IDENT doesnt even seem to be responding to valid IDENT queries... so the chances of someone getting into this thing are slim to none. Infact managing to break into that box will launch him/her into geek famedom.

The root password is probably something retardedly simple; that way whoever put up the box will have something to rub in peoples faces when nobody guesses it...

Hehe, set up a network to brute force it [through some onion routing or something, to keep off the bans/ignores]. I have done similar with other non-hacking purposes, such as animation net-rendering, and I hear that some research places are starting to do it more and more, where they use some thousands of home users PCs when inactive for their processing power. The combined CPU capabilities are simply incredible. Just imagine if your computer, instead of having a single or dual-core CPU, or even a dual-CPU computer, you had 2500 CPUs linked together. And realize that most of these are new-ish computers, so 2-3GHz per machine. /me drools at the thought of it.

Well, that starts to fall into DDOS territory, which was explicitly prohibited.

you never heard of SETI@HOME? thats one of the big ones, but there are others too.
