Playstation 3 PS3 Hardware Cracked/ PS3 Hacked to HECK!

[Berzerk]

This is not the dongle hack from earlier this year, this is a full hardware/software hack, which makes it pretty much as vulnerable as the Wii.

The first few minutes of the conference were spent explaining the state of security on other consoles (Wii, 360, etc). Following this, the group went on to explain the current state of affairs on the PS3. First, explaining Geohot's memory line glitching exploit from earlier this year. The team then went on to explain the current PS3 security bypasses, such as jailbreaking and service mode/downgrading.

Approximately a half hour in, the team revealed their new PS3 secrets, the moment we all were waiting for. One of the major highlights here was, dongle-less jailbreaking by breaking the PS3 loaders, giving complete control over the system. The other major feat, was calculating the public private keys (due to botched security), giving users the ability to sign their own SELFs Following this, the team declared Sony's security to be EPIC FAIL!

The recent advent of these new exploits means current firmware is vulnerable, v3.55 and possibly beyond. It will be very difficult for Sony to fix the described exploits.

The team then displayed the website http://fail0verflow.com/ were we assume will host examples of the new exploits and further details. They stated that easy to use tools would be coming next month.

Stay tuned to this article and PSGroove.com we will be updating it as more info is availble. Also for those that missed the stream we will be posting links for you to download the entire stream

In a few months time PS3 would be more hacked than the 360 or the Wii.

if this goes onstream, it actually might yes. If sony does not buy these guys off first or something.

A hardware revision would kill this much like what they did with the PSP.

HAHAHAHA!!!

You KNOW a lot of people will be thinking the same thing when they hear about this.
Once my boy back in business, and men hear PS3 games is $50 TT once again,
according to Crazy 'the party NOW start'.  

...and yeah @ hardware revision, but look how much PS3s out there already.

Hackers 1 - Sony 0   (so far) 

[Spazosaurus]

I'll tend to agree with rb. A hardware revision would most likely be donei to counter the workarounds.

GG for the millions of consoles out there though. Open season for piracy.

I dont think it is possible for the PS4 development to be fasttracked.

Remember hardware is only a very small factor in the whole equation. Hell, I sure some lil engineer in the Sony dungeon prolly rocking a prototype ps4 on his desk as we speak.

Before they even THINK about announcing anything, they are gonna want to have at least two handfulls of quality ps4 exclusives on the cards to build the hype. Even when those titles are announced the developers will need significant amounts of time to complete their work, I estimate 1.5 to 2 years minumum.

Assuming that they have already started work on ps4 development, i'd say the very earliest anything will be announced would be between q1 and q2 2012 and actual consoles and games going on sale in time for the 2012 holidays.

Same timeline goes for new xbox as well.

Thing to note also is that this would most likely remove PSN from the gaming equation. One can only play so much single player games these days, and even though I'm not the greatest PSN fan, I'd rather PSN over free games.

Interesting development.
The group pointed out that after Sony removed the other OS feature they were able to progress in this hack which then took them about a year. Sounds like Sony opened up some holes so that they could sell more consoles . Ability to pirate is a big factor why 360 and Wii outsell PS3.

As for pirated games the group still haven't found the keys for Blu-ray games for this exploit. They say it's possible but they don't wanna get into that probably because of some serious law breaking. They specify that they are in this for the homebrew benefits not piracy. Obviously though other hacker groups will bring forth the piracy purposed hacks.

Sometime in January we gonna see a mandatory Firmware update on PS3. The group pointed out that alot of the vulnerabilities can be updated but can also be found and hacked again. So the cat and mouse game will begin once again.

Ageed @ RB. Sony will no doubt prevent PSN access from those hacked consoles. I'm not willing to give up my PSN access for pirated games either.

[Crixx_Creww]

thats interesting logic your using about hackability being reason for being out sold...
cause like... the dream cast that died cause of its easy pirate and hacking
and the psp which is hacked to pieces ... being outsold tremendously by nintendo's devices...
lolz... fanboyism

[TheApprentice]

...
It was a joke... Jesus Christ..

I also said it was a big factor not the "reason" ps3 is outsold.

Ammm...wtf JC have to do wit dis? JC is yuh padna or wha?

Very interesting developments. Especially love their interpretation of Sony's random number generator

int getRandomNumber()
{
return 4; //chosen by fair dice roll. guaranteed to be random.
}

bahahahahha

It's an expression

And yes this was very hilarious.

[ViCe]

i agree with rb
i cant honestly sit there and just play single player games
that not justifyin my PS3 purchase at all
almost every game nowadays having some kinda mp component

i much rather spend some money and buy a few games i know i will invest alot of time in than goin back to how i was on ps2 days basically buyin a new game/s every week because i was so bored


@ crixx tbh tho it will sell more ps3s in trinidad tbh
when men here modify they go jump hot an sweaty to buy 1 without knowing the full details

[Arcmanov]

Blu-Vice my boy...you have read my mind.    +1

I still not in any great hurry to mod mine.  Even if it's just software.

[Husk4197]

3.55 Firmware hacked. Now Homebrew enabled.

enjoy!

[Berzerk]

u tried it?

[ViCe]

well at least d link sayin PS3 game backups doh wok so that good if it true
expect to see PS3 sales in TT rise with news of moddin

hadda start gettin accustomed to dloadin new firmware every week now i suppose

[madmunkie]

Sounds fine and dandy... but i dont think i will be modding my system in a hurry if it becomes widely available. Too many risks involved even if it is a software mod. PS3 done so expensive already I would cry myself dry if my system got bricked due to some corrupted file etc. Also Sony said they are already working on a fix, which would prob mean that a system update would soon be mandatory or else no access to PSN.

Them could keep that hack oui.....
