PS3 finally hacked?

[CentralDogma]

Anyone know what firmware PSGroove works on?

Also, something a bit techy:

Analysis of the PSJailbreak Exploit

Intro

The PSJailbreak dongle is a modchip for the PlayStation3 that allows users to backup and play games off the harddrive. Unlike the modchips of the Previous generation, or the modchips so far for the Xbox360 and Wii, this modchip simply plugs into the USB port on the front of the PS3, avoiding the need for complex soldering and voiding of your warranty.

As the time of writing this document, the final PSJailbreak has not been released, but a number of samples were given out and at least one fell into the hands of someone who owned a USB sniffer. This analysis of the exploit is based on those USB sniffer logs, issues encountered during the development of the opensource PSGroove version of the exploit and a number of educated guesses. It will probably be updated as new information comes in.

The initial analysis by gamefreax.de suggested that it was a Stack overflow attack. After further analist it turns out that this exploit is a Heap Overflow attack. The exploit carefully manipulates the heap by plugging and unplugging fake usb devices with large device descriptors until the device on port 4 which misreports its size to overwrite one of malloc's boundary tags.

Well I've took the plunge and bought one of these BlackCat USBs from this eBay link. ?28 delivered to UK I figured isn't too bad to gamble on. I just wonder whether the seller really has that many in stock.

Sony America Taking Modchip Seller To Court

Sony Computer Entertainment America has filed suit in California against an online retailer, accusing them of a raft of charges including copyright violation.

While not specifically mentioned in the court documents, it's believed the accused, Zoomba LDC - trading at the address SHOPPSJAILBREAK.com - has been attempting to sell the new PS3 Jailbreak modchip, which allows users to circumvent the PlayStation 3's copy protection and play games retail games installed on the console's hard drive.

Shoppsjailbreak is listed as one of two "official" distributors for the PS Jailbreak on the device's website.

The suit was filed on Tuesday in the California Northern District Court, and accuses Zoomba of copyright infringement, violations of the digital millennium copyright act and trademark infringement. SCEA is seeking damages and an injunctive relief, which would block the sale of the devices.

Well got an automatic refund. Out of stock. Why the heck do sellers insist on showing more items for sale than they have?

You can run the code from your Nokia N900 if you have one.

Not tried it yet though.

As i said in a previous post, the PSP expolit is very much in the works and a proof of concept is out.

Also beware regarding the stealth Modern Warfare " backup manager

"A word about 'stealth' backupmanager's; They are not stealth, as such. Yes they mimic a games ID and make it look like you are playing the specified game. There is still hardcoded infomation in the BackupManager app, that still links the app to the dir "/dev_hdd0/game/LAUN12345" Meaning the app still either backs up games to this location. Or Installs itself here.Best way to not get caught/banned = Dont play online at all with any 'jailbroken' console. " from http://twitter.com/OpenPSJailbreak

Pretty obvious you'd get banned using this :p

I'm sure something better will come of this exploit eventually.

Hey, does anyone know where an Aussie like myself can order one of these 'programmable' usb board to flash PS groove in Australia that isn't $110+ ??

This guy i found on eBay seems a little expensive

[CentralDogma]

Crazy. I kind of want to try it on my N900 just for the hell of it.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Ordered my USB dev board, but I've heard MuscleNerd is working to port it to the iPhone, so trying to cancel my order.

If not I'll reorder the board or use my PSP.

Obvious it wasn't going to be stealth and PS3 accounts being free would mean nothing :p

According to RichDev the MAC addresses aren't banned:

And Mathieulh has added:

Nevermind looks like this italian site was posting fake infos, the bans have not started (yet)

Musclenerd seems to have got most of the port ready for the iPhone.

Sweet. No more waiting for a blackcat or whatever else you can use. Also read they've got it working (in a fashion) on PIC controllers as well as Atmels.

[shakey]

seems to risky to use on my only ps3 lol. If i ever get another, maybe. But I also don't really play many single player games.This might be good for those Move games though :p

[Livin in a box]

They're trying to port it to the PS3 controller too:
