Console Hacking 2010

PS3 Epic Fail

Over 70 million Wiis, over 40 million Xbox 360s and over 35 million Playstation 3s have been sold in the last few years. That makes over 145 million embedded devices out there and most of them are just used to play games. But what can you do with them if you don't like playing games? You hack them to make them run your own code of course! We're going to talk about the various hacks that you can use to gain control of your hardware and make it do what you want it to do.

2010 saw the first hacks for the Playstation 3, soon after Sony removed Other OS functionality. We will detail the operation of current PS3 exploits, show a few new ones and explain where and how Sony went wrong when designing its security system, and show how these holes can be used to gain control over the system and bring Linux back to the PS3.

We will also go over hacks for the other consoles, including the JTAG hack for the Xbox 360 which made running homebrew code more convenient, and the cat-and-mouse games that Nintendo played with us to combat Wii hacks. We might also check out the security of their 'new' handheld console - the DSi.

Gamers might find this talk interesting even though it is targeted at those who hack (or design) embedded system security. A basic knowledge of crypto is therefore assumed. We will also be present in the Hackcenter before and after the presentation for those of you who are interested in learning more about the subject.

thanks for the links, Rydian.
I can't wait for day 3.

 

[shakirmoledina]

ahaa thanks bro... i guess it would take time to hack a game well so i will wait for a while and study some other bigger things before coming to this

I'll never forget the one where bushing and gang displayed non-native code running on the Wii. I remember seeing that, and wondering what would come from it.

Now look at it.

It's incredible, really. I wonder if they'll have anything to blow our socks off this year.

Thanks for sharing with us. It looks interesting.
Archive.org had some old stuff like Reversing_our_searching_habits_Power_searching_without_google ( from Fravia's Conferences )... and more for seekers ;-)

Pfft, hacking's easy.. I hack every morning.

Just kidding. Personally I think game hacking is for nabs, but that's just my opinion. AR Codes, Injector hacks and other have destroyed online gaming for the real gamers. The only reason for someone to hack is if you're blind and have down syndrome, only then would I approve your use of hacks.

If that's the only thing you think of then you think of "hacking", I'm going to have to ask you to do some reading before you open your mouth again on this subject.

This is a good book.

I said game hacking. Didn't mention anything about hacking in it's general form.

 

[Rydian]

The majority of games aren't online.

They don't have to be. Games were designed to be completed with challenge. "One does not simply walk into mordor"

But this thread is NOTHING to do with game hacking. It is to do with hacking in its general form.

Yes but since its in the news section and not a console section it has to do with everything hacking.

I apologize? if that's what you're waiting for?

 

[Costello]

Also others if you want to see some older ones poke around http://c3.ex23.de/ - it seems to be room, date and time. On the matter of time it is in Germany (an hour ahead of UK time at present) so account for that if planning to watch something live

Sometimes it's unavailable. Check often.
