Basically they talked about how the PS3 has totally failed in security, by botching the pki implementation it became possible to calculate the keys needed to sign everything, in short PUBLIC PRIVATE KEYS!

It seems this could be pretty big - i.e. custom firmware which would open up a whole world of possibilities in line with the level of development on the original XBOX and beyond. Looking forward to where the homebrew scene goes with this!

This looks really good , cant wait for proper homebrew on ps3 without the need of usb sticks, id love to see x.264 videos running also

does that mean we can play back ups without even modding the console? and we wont get banned for modding our consoles?

Please do not post the PS3 "ROOT" key here. I do not quite yet know what the legality of this is.

If it is OK then the original posts will be displayed. Untill then, yes, we know Geohot leaked the key and a quick web seach will find what you need.

i wish there was more discussion and sharing of info here too. all of the other forums i have tried browsing for info are full of forced click advertisements and popups. in other words, they suck!

anyway, it seems that geohot and fail0verflow team have completed their goals of hacking the console for linux so they may simply choose to clean up the code they have created so far and let others take over...

which makes me wonder if some new dongle will show up or some other kind of device that hackers are designing in the background. if there is money to be made, i fully expect some very well known xbox modchip device manufacturers to get involved too.

PSX-SCENE has quite a bit of discussion mixed in with some lame posts... I'm not sure how much developer discussion goes on there though, although I know there is SOME... however, the site gets bogged down by all the advertisements...

I've been around for the Xbox and the 360 modding/cracking but am new to the ps3. Is any of this going to lead to a way to get the dvd key (bd key)? Or even a way to lock a new drive to it? I took a few Ps3's in on trade to find out the had the wrong pcb on the Blueray drive.

I wouldnt doubt if the lack of talk about this is because the hackers are in talks with mod chip makers so they can cash in. Cant blame them..

Ultra_Extreme · « **Reply #11 on:** January 09, 2011, 05:36:00 AM »

nah, for one the hacker geohot publicly at least will not aid piracy. But more importantly THE KEY IS OUT! I think the importance of this has been missed!

The key is what is used to make software read as legitimate, this has NEVER BEEN DONE! Basically means you could sign a hacked game rip and put it in a retail PS3 and play it with NO MODDING AT ALL

Knowing the key would mean there is no need for a modification (Chip) for the console itself as once the software is signed it will run as the console would not know it from retail software. Depends how this progresses and is implemented.
It is big news and I am trying to get PS3 Scene on here updated. I have a few of the Mods willing to run this section and update with news so hopefully this can be sorted as a good source.

Im happy to read that I was wrong. Too bad we dont get more discussion on how we can implement the key ourselves. For most of us used to modding the xbox360 and regular xbox the PS3 seems very foreign and different. If its really true that we wont need a mod-chip or ANY-thing to run hacked code or modded code then we need to figure out how to implement the key...

Sadly i think this is where the profiteers will come, any program used to sign ISO's or similar with one click would be absoloute GOLD. Think about it, you get the program start signing ISO's and selling them on. Consumers do not have the smarts to understand the difference between running a copy and a legit game, at least by and large, so the potential for profit selling to the general population is HUGE, for this reason i expect early software for signing iso's and such will be sold at a premium.

Sad really because whilst i dont condone piracy, i condone piracy for profit far less!

Got this on googlybums

props to fail0verflow for the asymmetric half
no donate link, just use this info wisely
i do not condone piracy

I made a video

it's jailbreak time
open the zip, you know how to install
3.55 only
would be pirates, don't waste your time
do not mirror file, link to geohot.com
no donations accepted right now, don't get scammed

homebrew signing source
make_self_npdrm makes valid NPDRM selfs from elfs
it does not contain any info on decrypting or removing NPDRM
NPDRM is required for interoperability of our homebrew applications
package_finalize turns your debug packages into psuedoretail packages
psuedoretail packages install on a geohot jailbroken PS3

i'm excited to see what you will create
