Sony is not going to be happy about this. According to the product name, PSJailBreak, they have created a USB key that allows users to copy games their PS3 games their hard drive then play the game. Anyone want to go to blockbuster and rent some games? If this is true and works correctly, this is what the PS3 scene has been waiting for. And unlike Xbox 360 modding, no screwdrivers are required for this to work.
PSJailbreak claims to work on all PS3 models and can be updated to work with future PS3 firmware releases. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if any of this is true.
So as you may already know, Geo took everyone by suprise when he started working on hacking/exploiting the PS3. Some would say he was pretty sucesful, in what he accomplished. Being able to gain control over the Isolated PPE’s, etc, no easy job. But if you head over to his blog, you’ll notice that it’s been quiet for some time now, well, expcept for the mass spam comments. But what I wan’t to ask, what happend?
Why did Geo just fall off the face of the earth, in regards to the PS3. He never posted an update or anything. Honestly, I know he’s a talented kid, but excuse me for saying this, just a little pussy when things got hot. He defiantly got his fare share of hate comments on his blog, but seriously, cmon Geo, Man up. Don’t run off like a little bitch, if you can’t figure it out, just say it. You’ll gain more respect that way.
Apparently so. A guy by the name of George Hotz (Geohot), who is also known for the famous iPhone Jailbreak hack, has now moved onto bigger and better things. The Playstation 3. The PS3 has been around now roughly 3 years, without any true exploits. Now that is all about to change.
I have read/write access to the entire system memory, and HV level access to the processor. In other words, I have hacked the PS3. The rest is just software. And reversing. I have a lot of reversing ahead of me, as I now have dumps of LV0 and LV1. I’ve also dumped the NAND without removing it or a modchip.
3 years, 2 months, 11 days…thats a pretty secure system
Took 5 weeks, 3 in Boston, 2 here, very simple hardware cleverly applied, and some not so simple software.
Shout out to George Kharrat from iPhoneMod Brasil for giving me this PS3 a year and a half ago to hack. Sorry it took me so long
As far as the exploit goes, I’m not revealing it yet. The theory isn’t really patchable, but they can make implementations much harder. Also, for obvious reasons I can’t post dumps. I’m hoping to find the decryption keys and post them, but they may be embedded in hardware. Hopefully keys are setup like the iPhone’s KBAG.
Though no prices have been released yet, Playstation 3 owners can expect to start paying for a subscription for their PSN network. First, for online game play, that will stay free, thankfully. What you’re going to be getting is a “service offering” that offers premium content and services that you would not be able to receive in the free subscription. [Read More]
