PS3 finally hacked?

[DPyro]

Wow people are never satisfied, ozmodchips is a reputable company, they wouldn't risk their rep. if this was fake.

[tanjiajun_34]

Just wait for first few people who bought it to test.

Haiz I wonder how strong will ps4 security be....

[sn00pie]

Good news if true.

well for a start i doubt they will allow the use of USB "service Dongles" and come up with a better

way to put consumer units into service mode.

This is not jailbreaking and has nothing to do with jailbreaking.

Also parts of the video suddenly go "night dark"

What I would like to see:

0: Put a ****ing huge light on the scene with the camera still showing the guy doing all this, the PS3 and the TV

1: Show us that the PS3 is empty with no disc inside.

2: Turn off the PS3

3: Turn on the PS3 using the method of switch then eject button showing the green LED

4: Show us a original PS3 disc. Scratch the cover, twist it, turn it, etc to show that it is legit.

5: Insert it in the PS3

6: Show us that it has been loaded like normal

7: Access the Backup Manager

8: Back it up

9: Eject the disc

10: Do 2

11: Do 3

12: Access the Backup Manager and load the game that was just backed up.

13: Play.

This is the only 100% way to show. Videos for now have been.......fishy.

that might be the way lots of there people will want to see hack videos done,

but when you have a rep like ozmod's does you dont need to goto that length to prove it.

check out his last video he doesnt load infamous and you can see other games in the list that wernt their

in the 1st batch he posted on youtube.

[tehmemories]

Isn't it a little odd that there is an Xbox 360 Slim "hack" and now a PS3....

[DPyro]

Here is what the newest version of the PS3 will look like

Like he said, delete your YouTube account. Why would he risk the reputation of his entire store with a fake? Didn't think so.

From PSX-Scene:

Sorry for the site problems, but that what happens when you have a real PS3 breakthough that works, not some stupid "fake" thing like Geohot, etc.

:laugh:

There have been 1000s of videos posted about PS3 modding. None true.

Every company wants the spotlight. They (or others) have to prove it.

[Massiveterra]

Based on all of the main video game news sites, the youtube vids are all using dev consoles

[xendrome]

Cleaned up the thread, guys please keep it on topic and stop going back and fourth with the arguing.

I've seen a test PS3 with my own eyes and I can tell you that those are NOT debug units. There's even a picture above that AB posted.

[Ji@nBing]

Looks like I finally may have a reason to pick up a PS3 soon :)

Looks very real right now, they've somehow got a hold of the encryption key/sdk or whatever Sony use on debug PS3's and created their own software dumper to create the game images. Still for $170 I'd recommend holding off before you end up with an expensive paperweight.

This isn't a jailbreak at all, it's somehow emulating a debug PS3 on a normal PS3. Most likely very easy to fix?

Also this will no doubt become illegal to sell, it isn't opensource code or even a modchip by any means.

Some more food for thought

From what I've read in this thread, the regular debug procedure requires an online authentication that this dongle is somehow spoofing, so this may not work. If they revoke an authentication key through FW update, and the key for this device came from a one time leak from somewhere then it might work, otherwise they will spoof the authentication however they are doing it now.

its legal to sell as they arnt selling the code that is needed to make games boot from the internal or external hdd

you need to put the .pkg file that was created with the leaked SDK onto a blank fat32 usb drive

as part of the install process.

all they are selling is a hardware usbgongle that does the same thing as the sony Jig

as of yet its not been possable to dump the information on the dongle as its not visable to windows as a normal usb drive

but it will proberly be done eventualy with a debugger of some sorts.

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

They are selling the debug code on their USB stick.

The purpose of that stick is to boot a standard PS3 into debug mode from a cold boot - It's been somehow dumped/leaked/stolen.

All that package on their site is is a custom made image creator as a debug PS3 can run unsigned code, a standard PS3 can not.

[Hedon]

These things will be going like hotcakes for sure once they bits hit the web.

An update:

Update #2: After examining the PSJailBreak Manager .PKG File below, RichDevX determined that it was hardcoded not to boot on Test consoles, and he has now made available a patch for PS3 Debug users who can decrypt the selfs to run PS3 game back-ups with it!

Below (under PS3 Dev Notes) is some more tech info from his findings for those curious, however, please note the PSJailBreak patch above is only for PlayStation 3 Debug users. At this time it would probably be wise NOT to waste your money on this expensive PSJailBreak USB device, as a FREE PS3 scene solution is bound to surface.

Update: CJPC has received confirmation and xorloser has now confirmed that the PSJailBreak runs unsigned code on the PlayStation 3, so it appears this PS3 mod-chip is indeed legitimate!

For those who remember ZPack for PS3, today we have what appears to be a remix of it dubbed PSJailBreak - a PlayStation 3 JailBreak allegedly for Retail and Debug PS3 consoles.

Warning: Before downloading or getting excited, read the "PS3 Dev Notes" section (below) for PS3 Dev comments on this alleged product.

To quote from their page on the PSJailBreak Specifications:

? PS Jailbreak is a USB plug and play solution that installs in seconds, keeping your valid warranty seal in tact.

? Easy to use installer and GUI takes you step by step.

? Compatible with all production models FAT and SLIM. Supports all regions: USA, JAP, PAL and KOREA

? PS Jailbreak disables forced software updates and will never brick your console.

? Supports all games (it does not allow backups of bluray movies , dvd movies , or past consoles games)

? Backup games to your internal hard drive or external hard drive through USB, and boot directly off GUI. Eliminating the need for expensive blueray burners and costly blank media.

? Play backups off your hard drives 2x as fast as off the blueray drive. This eliminates lags and glitches to provide you with smoother game play.

? Open up your console to a new generation of homebrew applications. Load homebrew apps/games off any USB hard drive/flash drive.

? Fully updatable with new features/updates by connecting PS Jailbreak to any computers USB port.

PSJailBreak F.A.Q.:

Q: Is PS Jailbreak easy to install?

A: Yes, it is a plug and play solution. It takes 1 second to fully install, without modifying or opening your console.

Q: Does it permanently modify my console?

A: No of course not, once you unplug it from the usb port it is completely disabled.

Q: How do you install PS Jailbreak?

A: Please consult our downloads page for our instruction manual. We have done our best to make it as thorough as possible to answer all setup and troubleshooting issues.

Q: What is the warranty?

A: PS Jailbreak is sold with a 1 year warranty. All our resellers will take care of warranty issues.

PS3 Dev Notes on PS JailBreak:

Mathieulh: psjailbreak's so called "Backup Manager" (which is pretty much the only thing available to download on their website) is a debug package including a regular fself compiled with the (massively privately leaked) 1.92 sdk, The package itself is generated with Sony's official sdk tool (make_package_npdrm revision 1203 probably from that very same sdk) that makes it illegal to share because I am quite sure psjailbreak staff doesn't have the appropriate license to be using the official Playstation 3 SDK and its tools.

The binary itself seems to use the usual sce apis when it comes to the gui or copying files over. It does run on a debug console and displays a "nicely" done GUI that lets you "backup" your game to the external or usb hdd and "run" them later on.

Needless to say the backups wont "run" as their "backup manager" is just a regular fself running with game privileges and doesn't make use of any exploits that I can think of. Needless to say that if their so called usb dongle is real (which I doubt) it does extensive use of leaked sony's software and keys/certificates.

RichDevX: I hope nobody gave them money.

NDT: It wasn't actually a locked door, cause i'm sure the hackers cloned the jig module h/w and used it with their sw, so ps3 recognize the usb key like the sony hw itself, it's looks like a troian horse more than a firmware hack.

The problem until now was that no one shared the jig scheme, that's why no one was able to use this "simply" method. Maybe these hackers have really GOOD contacts.

CJPC: Haven't tried it, but it looks like it will copy the game on a Debug PS3 but won't decrypt the executable... so, it's basically a giant "copy dev_bdvd/* hdd0/*" for lack of a better term.

RichDevX PS JailBreak Notes:

? on a debug unit, it'll branch to sys_process_exit

? based on the value that is passed to sub_10B20(true/false)

? if false is passed, it'll exit, else it'll branch to sys_game_process_exitspawn2

? i forced it to branch

? sys_game_process_exitspawn2("/dev_hdd0/game/LAUN12345/GAMEZ/BLUS30011/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0x3E9, 0x70)

? it's stored there

? sub_10B20(false);

? aka it wont boot a game, i'll just exit the process

? they released this app, and hardcoded it so it wouldn't launch an selfs on our test kits only on theirs

Looks like whoever created this thing tried to disable it from working on debug units to keep it from being reproduced.

It looks like you can run unsigned code. This is pretty huge!

Also, heard some rumblings of a free alternative eventually :woot:

[Biohead]

I'm looking quite forward to seeing more about this. It just seems to be picking up speed too quick for it to be entirely fake.

Hopefully we'll know a bit more tomorrow. Would love if it was possible to build your own USB key though, although I'm sure it's highly unlikely for now.

[Sethos]

AWESOME :D

Might actually help with the PS3 sales :p

[Livin in a box]

Yeah it's got a Homebrew launcher included, guessing it'll launch .ELF and .DOL files like the Wii does. Now we just need Team Twiizers, lol.

[Hedon]

At their site now. I might actually buy one of these bad boys.

they scared already, and they said it was legal My link

I just need a region-hack to play other region BDs and DVDs
