CentralDogma Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Anyone know what firmware PSGroove works on? Also, something a bit techy: Analysis of the PSJailbreak ExploitIntro 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. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohead Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 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.

Ironman273 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Sony America Taking Modchip Seller To CourtSony 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. Source: Kotaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillionVoltss Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 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.

Biohead Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
