yea if he's worried about being sued why did he post the key? the other guys posted the method for getting the key which is more than enough for the other groups in the scene. i'm not familiar with the legal aspects of it enough to know for certain but it seems like he should be in some kind of hot water for posting that key.
well not completely true geohotz has an exploit to dump metldr loader.. groups don't have this..(even failoverflow team) so with geohotz releasing the complete master key he made it much more easy now for other hackers .. perhaps he evens regrets it.. but there is no way back now.
ahh so he wanted to show who had the bigger E peen.
i'm pretty ignorant of the lvl and ldr stuff, it goes over my head and i just dont care enough to figure it all out. at the moment all i want is the ability to run the few games i own off my hard drive. there's nothing i really want to "steal" for the ps3 at least not at the moment.
i do hate that it could turn out badly for the MP community on the ps3. the cheating could get way out of hand.
Aye, it was only a matter of time really. If what the hackers are saying is true, then it's futile of Sony to keep putting out new FW -- but Sony have to show they're at least doing SOMETHING.
@killabyte
I agree mate. I've said a few times on P-Scene that I wish Sony would split their PSN, keep the Store for people who wish to BUY their stuff... but make online play require the very latest firmware and with checks, etc etc. I don't care about losing online gaming (never used it on the PS3 anyhow) as long as it means keeping the cheaters out. I just want my store access back -- while also keeping the ability to run games from HDD/loaders.
if FW's are useless,so after few updates,they will probably just stop doing them,at least frequenly,its cost money and men power to do so,looks what Happen in the PSP scene,newest FW has been hacked... still no new one FW(6.36 is only for people who bought Monster Hunter)
PSP PS3 PKG Decrypter Extractor v.1.0.0.0 by Mathieulh
- What does this do ?
This will decrypt and extract Playstation 3, Playstation Portable and mixed GAME PACKAGES (NOT UPDATER ONES !) onto your pc.
How do I use it ?
Just open the package you want to extract or drag and drop it and click on "Extract package"
Can I run this on Linux ?
Sorry this app is windows only, however full sources have been supplied along with it so feel
free to make a Linux port out of it, you have my blessing.
Can This encrypt/sign my game packages ?
NO, when this application was written, the main concern was about packages decryption, so that part
was kinda skipped, however it is trivial to do the reverse operation, remember, sources are supplied.
--------------
Here is the little story, this little app was done since litterally AGES , distributed to a very small amount of people,
and was conveniently designed and used to decrypt packages and repack them on our debug consoles so we wouldn't
have to QA flag them to update our games or install games we purchased from the ps store.
The algorithm was a bit of a pain to reverse but the keys could be easily grabbed with a
lv2 exploit. So here we are, this app was done but the problem is it couldn't be leaked because
I and a few other people who were entrusted with it, were kinda afraid that sony would change the
keys and fix whatever exploits we had (turned out they didn't) but since we can now get whatever
new keys they add/change this has become a quite irrelevant concern. The next concern was piracy.
There was nothing at the time justifying a release for that application, most people would just
not have a legit use for it so releasing was out of the question.
So what changed our minds ? Well, ccc happened, and Segher (props to him !) figured how to
conveniently calculate private keys and suddenly a legit use appeared, as people would/might need
to encrypt their packages to install their own signed apps onto their consoles.
This is not a 1:1 algorithm port as it's been improved, thus the decryption happens 3 times as
fast as on playstation 3.
Since people suddenly became interested in the game packages format, we just thought releasing that
app would spare them the (hours of) work of reversing the encryption algorithm and that this code
would not go to waste.
Special thanks to someone who helped a lot but whishes to remain anonymous.
Greetings to Segher whom, I believe people tend to forget too often.

p.s. Forgot to enable the button in vs prior recompile, this is now fixed.
Like I said on there; Another shocking case of Math "having" something months before anyone else and yet it only comes to light AFTER other groups/hackers release their versions. Heh. Still, it should help streamlining the process of decrypting EBOOTs.
Funny how the only time he ever releases, or even MENTIONS, anything... is after someone else has already done it. The guy is a fraud, plain and simple.
dozen of PS3 hackers started to appear right After the JB hack... at least if some of them can't make "the first hack" at least it's nice that they can improve things that already exist...
Yeah, but none of them claimed they already had all these tools and all this information Math does. That's ALL he does; he waits for someone to release something, be it tools or information, then he quickly knocks up a tweet that states he already knew about it and had it but didn't want to release. Then he'll take their knowledge and their tools, release some knocked-up bullshit and claim he had it all along. Not to mention the dongle "ID" keys, which someone released - Math INSTANTLY went on Twitter and "confirmed" they were real - and then they later turn out to be fake and Math whines about how he "wasn't at home to check before posting"
Honestly, the guy is a complete and utter fucking fraud. I just find it hilarious how he never talks about anything until someone else has, never shows anything until someone else has, never releases anything until someone else has.
Yes because if you were the first to do something you'd RELEASE FIRST. If you don't release first than any claims that you did it first go flying out the window. Short of sending your work to yourself via registered mail or having it witnessed by some third party you are merely attention whoring.
"oh buts they might fix the hole"
Who gives a shit if they do? People will stay on the older exploitable version. If you do genuinely discover something and keep it to yourself to utilize that's fine too but don't barge in after someone releases their work.
Meh whatever. The only thing I've contributed was back in the devhook days and all I did was dump a few things and package it all together for mass use. Those people got the shock of their lives when the default background pic loaded up

Aye, there's still no PSN connectivity yet. Sony fixed the holes that the spoof firmware exploited.
Cheers for the reply. Figured that was the case but could live in hope
The only thing I like about cuntmonkey's post is the quote

In other words, I won't condone piracey but well, here's how to do it.
TBH, I rarely (read: never) use my ps3 so I'm not entirely sure why I'm interested in all this stuff. If they can provide native mkv/h264 playback via a none streamed source I' be happy

So true mate I'm on you with that.

Geohot creates 3.55 CFW with dongle-less Jailbreak. Shame he also plays the moral bullshit and locks out, at the FIRMWARE level, ability to play any kind of backups. Oh and it's Geohot... so don't be too hopeful that he'll ever release it. We all know what he did with 3.2100
[17:03] < @geohot> yea, full jailbreak working icon smile Geohot: Full 3.55 CFW PS3 Jailbreak Is Working!
[17:04] < +grandy> nice geohot

[17:04] < +Xtse> good job
[17:04] < +segobi> good work yes
[17:04] < +inf1> icon surprised Geohot: Full 3.55 CFW PS3 Jailbreak Is Working!
[17:04] < +evilsperm> and grats geohot lol
[17:04] < +inf1> kernel patching or npdrm builder?
[17:04] < @dwrfcrank> geohot: cool
[17:04] < @geohot> omg no kernel patching
[17:04] < @geohot> omg omg omg omg
[17:04] < @dwrfcrank> icon biggrin Geohot: Full 3.55 CFW PS3 Jailbreak Is Working!
[17:05] < @dwrfcrank> geohot’s reactions wrt kernel patching are always fun
[17:08] < +RyLoS> geohot: full jb working on 3.55?
[17:08] < +inf1> well, he probably signed right and bypassed npdrm
[17:09] < +inf1> but how he delivers it to the ps3
[17:09] < +djp> yea he said yesterday he was working on npdrm
[17:09] < +inf1> ?
[17:09] < +RyLoS> so syscalls working?
[17:12] < @geohot> no peeking or poking
[17:12] < @geohot> stop ir
[17:12] < @geohot> *it
[17:12] < @geohot> updating to 3.55…
[17:13] < +inf1> so, you installed it on jailbroken 3.41 and just updating to 3.55?
[17:13] < +inf1> no deliver way?
[17:13] < @geohot> installed on unjailbroken 3.41
[17:13] < +inf1> how
[17:13] < @geohot> deliver in pup eventually
[17:13] < @geohot> now it’s lv2diag
[17:14] < +inf1> what about npdrm
[17:14] < @geohot> beasted
[17:14] < @geohot> make_self_npdrm works
[17:14] < @geohot> and i currently patch nas_plugin
[17:14] < +inf1> sweet
[17:14] < @geohot> but thats up in the air
[17:15] < +Xtse> I think I added the wrong description to my git when adding the key Mathieulh posted inside the source for psp ps3 pkg~..
[17:15] < +Xtse> nas_plugin memory patch?
[17:15] < @Mathieulh> lol
[17:15] < @geohot> nah, on dev_flash patch
[17:15] < @geohot> memory patch = lv2
[17:15] < @geohot> and omg omg omg omg no
[17:16] < @geohot> make_sprx works too
[17:16] < @geohot> if i do release, it won’t be for a couple days
[17:16] < @geohot> but its 4am here, i might still do a video tonight
[17:17] < @geohot> omg updates are so slow
Still, let's hope he does release - and then let's hope someone pisses in his face by patching lv2 with PEEK/POKE, because without those it's pretty much less than half-functional. A lot of non-piracy homebrew and apps won't even work.
GG
Oh and I give it.... ummm.... a DAY. Just twenty-four hours before Math tweets that he already created this a month ago and just didn't want to release it.

(it's funny cuz it might be really true)
as for the CFW,so he "lock it up" as same as Official FW are locked and it will very hard to "open" is hack?
"Fuck Denuvo"

As for hacking? No idea. I don't know how hard/easy it will be to patch lv2 to support PEEK/POKE or even whether Geo has locked it down so tight that by attempting to do so it will brick the machine. We'll only find out if he ever releases it.... but I'm not holding my breath.
those hackers probably know about security more then Sony... the bed thing(now that they have they keys) if they really want to they can make FW protection even tougher then Sony...
in the end,it might be like bringing Tyrannosaurus to deal with a Lion,the Lion as been defeated,but the Tyrannosaurus has left...
Agreed. I've commented on that a few times on P-Scene lately; We've traded one set of overlords who dictated what we are and are not allowed to do on our own hardware (Sony) for another set of overlords who are dictating what we are and are not allowed to do on our own hardware (hackers like Geohot and Fail Team Fail0verfail)
I may respect what they've done, but their attitude and superiority complex absolutely stinks. All this bullshit about "we found the keyz, lol!!111 Sony FAIL! We're giving homebrew back to the users" is just blowing smoke up our arses, since none of them have any intention of releasing keys that would be useful. Everything so far is utterly and completely USELESS, since not one of those released keys can do what Fail Team Fail has said it can; sign software. We're still reliant on JB devices or the hackers in order to feed us some breadcrumbs from their banquet of feasts. If neither Geo or Fail Team Fail release their tools and ACTUAL signing keys, then nothing can happen or progress. They all piss and moan about piracy and about how they just want homebrew, yet NONE of them have given the tools/keys to the homebrew developers.
Meh. The whole thing is just a proof of concept, if you ask me. They CAN do all this... but they WON'T...
Waninkoko! Koko, koko, he's our man! If he can't do it.... well, Geohot can... but he's a FGT punk desperately hoping to hop into bed with Sony, so fuck that man.
