PS3 failoverfl0w, PS3 cracked open with no fix possible on all FWs!
Surprised nobody posted it here yet (okay EP was down...) but the guys at the 27th annual Chaos Communication Conference cracked the PS3 open with no possible fix. They have gotten the Sony private key which normally only the Sony HQ knows. That means wee can sign homebrew and it will be seen as 100% legit Sony software and will run on ANY PS3 with ANY Firmware.

From what I read this can't be fixed by a firmware update and also a hardware change can't help because any change in the private key would make all existing PS3 software useless.

I don't have the know how to understand it in detail, but from what I got: The PS3 doesn't has the private key stored, only the Sony guys have it, however due to a fail in the encryption scheme, the guys were able to mathematically compute the key. Basically a part of the  equation should always return a random number. Some Sony coder messed up and this equation always returns "4" Hihi

I will repeat myself:

Video of the conference:





Skip to 33 minutes for the good stuff^^

And oh yeah, they only started gaining interest in it when OtherOS was removed, or so I heard Hihi
The comment at the Youtube video speaks truth... Protip: Don't piss off Linux hackers

I downloaded the avi video on psx-scene and watched it over and over again just to see those trophies pop up again and again...well anyway here's the demo of the AsbestOS booting from flash.


Man i can't wait for when they release their tools so i can sign all of my emulators and  finally update to 3.55 or higher. Ahaa

AsbestOS, I lol'd at the name Hihi

Just two questions to the more knowledgeable people:

How would wee get signed software onto the PS3?

Could Sony detect anything to ban people from PSN?

They have the private keys,  I would think they would just sign a .pup from pc

Put said .pup on PS3

Run said .pup

Flash said software
