on topic: i have to admit i understood absolutly nothing from that link in the opening post. looks like its very hard to hack the ps3 though. i hope we will have custom firmware eventually with the ability to play backups like on the psp.

sounds like bs to me, if it was really that easy to bypass the security we would be able to play backups and other stuff by now.Quote:

When Sony removed it hackers declared war and in just a few short months busted the thing wide open.Quote:

A 1.50 firmware PSP is more secure than the PS3 at this point.
Happy Ps3 Hacking people!!!

And it all began with Linux...
Funny that the PSP keys have also been found, now nothing can stop custom firmware, because we don't need it anymore!
Even funnier, Sony can't do backwards compatability at all with either the PSP or PS3 on any future system without having them open to the homebrew that will come from this Magic Key*.
(*my term for the private keys)
Can't wait to try some of the ported emulators on my backup 60gig PS3 that I won't be connecting to the PSN until we know for sure how that will work. :D
Im still gonna stick to 3.41 just to be on the safe side.

So, as I understand it, no matter what model/firmware/whatever you have on your system, homebrew will be possible on any single setup. As aj already said, hackers just need to use these keys to sign off on their utilities and any system can use it.
Thats the thing, these asses are only fucking with EBOOT.BIN while they can just sign the Managers so we can use it on 3.55 but nooooooooooo their being brainless morons :/ sheesh if i knew how to sign a manager pkg id've done it myself.
None of them support piracy... It won't take long before someone sorts out a manager that'll run on 3.55, but will it require a JB dongle?
if its signed and installed then no, no dongle needed. That's the whole thing, well im sure the makers of the managers don't give a shit since they made the managers in the first place.
Good, I don't want to have to use my phone to run the manager. :sweat:Quote:

Its basically OFW with signed managers that work under it, hell we could even get on PSN with older versions.
Hacker dumps a security nightmare into Sony's lap, then uses the opportunity to try to find himself employment.
George "GeoHot" Hotz, who gained notoriety for his iPhone jailbreaks as well as his PS3 jailbreak from early last year, has posted what he claims to be the PS3's root key on his website. This key will give people the ability to sign their own homebrew software, and have the PS3 think that it's genuine.
In a very short post, Hotz thanked the fail0verflow hacker team, who gave a presentation about the PS3's security system just last week, for their assistance with the asymmetric part of the key. As proof that the key was genuine, he offered a "Hello World" program, a common exercise when you're starting out writing code, and thanked the people behind the open-source PS3 hombrew SDK, PSLight, who had made it possible for him to release it.
It's believed, although not confirmed, that Sony will have trouble changing this key without rendering a lot of PS3 software inoperable. If this is true, then there may be nothing that Sony can do to prevent people running their own homebrew software, or playing pirated games. Hotz made it clear that he didn't condone piracy, however, and hoped that people would use the key responsibly. He also offered his services to Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft in making their next consoles secure, saying that it would be interesting to be on the other side of the fence.
Of course, the problem is that while Hotz might not condone piracy, there are plenty of others out there who have absolutely no problems with it at all. I don't know whether Hotz is genuinely hoping that people won't abuse the key, or whether he'd just trying to cover his own back, but either way, he's much easier for a lot of would-be pirates

Unbelievable! Many thanks ^_^
So what does this mean exactly? That I can simply apply a patch to a piece of homebrew software and it will play on and unmodded PS3 because the console thinks it's a legit game?
Personally I still think CFW is a better route to go. In other news, Geohot is still a prick. It's a shame that everyone can't just admit that the primary goal of hacking a console is piracy.Quote:

Longer story short: Custom Firmware.
There's already a discussion going on in this thread about this kind of thing:

PS3 CFW boys.

PS3: First ‘Custom Firmware’ now working!
Great news!
Thanks to the tools made by the fail0verflow team (and thanks to sven in particular for his work on the pkg/unpkg tools), the first “Custom Firmware” is now available for the PS3!
I see a lot of questions coming up really fast on my Twitter account, so here are the basic things you need to know :
Because of legal/copyright issues, I will not provide the custom firmware to anyone, however, I’ve made available all the tools necessary to transform an Official firmware update, into a custom one, just grab my ps3utils repository from github, compile, then run :
./create_cfw.sh PS3UPDATE.PUP CFW.PUP
This will take the official firmware, unpack it, modify it, then repack it correctly (requires you to install ps3tools).
This requires Linux of course, but I’m sure others will do it for the masses and illegally release those files somewhere.
The advantage here is that you can do it for any firmware, if you want to keep version 3.41, then give it the 3.41 update, if you are on 3.55 already and can’t downgrade, then run the script on the official 3.55 firmware and it will create a modified 3.55 firmware.
You can put the file in a USB drive under the filename “PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP” and then go to system update in the XMB, and it will allow you to install the update (even if you’re already on 3.55).
People are asking what are the features of this firmware, it’s simple, all it does is to add those “Install Package Files” options to the Game section of the XMB. It doesn’t do anything else!
This firmware will not allow you to run the currently available homebrew application. Once the homebrew developers re-package their files in a ‘retail’ .pkg format with signed executable, then it will work (this should be coming soon thanks to the work of the fail0verflow team).
Since the kernel is left unmodified, this means that this custom firmware is really meant for future homebrew installation, and it will not allow piracy. I plan on keeping it that way.
This is just the first attempt at custom firmware, and it only contains a minor modification to allow you to install pkg files directly, eventually we’ll get some more options added to it in the future. This is just starting to get interesting!
p.s: Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible!
Enjoy!

Yeah I merged the threads together, but in the wrong order. It was my first time merging. :sweat:
It's nice that this Kakarot guy made a CFW with the ability to do with which we needed the jailbreak keys for, but going around saying like an ass 'Yeah use linux and go make one yourself, coz im lazy and its gonna be made 'illegally' anyway" isnt what I like to see.
You can go bitchfit all yo uwant but people are gonna make a better CFW then yours making yours look like a joke. I still thank for the update and hope at least one of the manager makers signs their pkg so we can be over with this and all continue.
Noob smod alert!Quote:

Yes I know double posting.
Just bumping this abit to inform I didnt gave a shit anymore and updated to CFW 3.55 messed abit with some files hoping to get them working but alas.
PS: If they have the USB key cant they fix the 3.42/3.50 USB update? So the sticks are being recognized again?
Still finding it funny how PSJailbreak's website is dead, bitches ran off with their money.
I read the CFW doesn't have the syscalls for the backup managers to even run if they were signed with the right keys. So you've wasted your time then? :wacko:
meh at least we can update and stick on the same FW so yeah as soon a real CFW with all the syscalls ill shit comes I can update dat ho.
The crappy CFW doesn't, I'm just going to stick to my JB until a useful CFW is out.Quote:

Just read about the ps3 situation in the newspaper. Can't believe they'd think its newspaper worthy.
