Hacking Hello World on ps3

[teusjuh]

SKFU's Exploit Loader + POC 0.1
So here is the result of the simple idea. The first code which is 100% PS3 only compatible. No flash, no bd-java or similar. The actual exploit is not finished. This is just the loader you will need and a proof of concept of the methode used to load it.

This is a beta version of the POC as I'm too tired to finish it now but I don't wanna' let you wait so long. Here you go:

DOWNLOAD

How 2 Use:

1. Install loader.p3t like a common theme file.
2. Put loadme.fu on an USB stick's root dir.
3. Insert USB device into any PS3 USB port.
4. Enable the theme you just installed before.
5. Hello World.

How It Works:

The PS3 theme file is able to load the loadme.fu script from any USB port. The script is executed. The "loader" is for future-use aswell to load any .fu files which I'll release.

Stay tuned for updates!

Cool but isn't this just a theme that loads can you really get anything useful to run on the ps3.Could you like use the script to load an executable off the USB and then make it install something simalar to the HBC which we can then run homebrew off?

so far we know the theme is the exploit with an loader for .fu files
what .fu files are i dont know. i think an executable file for ps3

SKFU's Exploit Loader - What it is and what not
Some of you may expect a little bit too much out of this. The code used runs in a very restricted area. Currently we test how far we can go into direction "overflow" and system param's we can access.

So far it's possible to command the script a bit via system parameters like the clock. The clock can be used as provider of input, for example to command simple textures in different directions or similar.

This is no exploit yet, if you may have missed that statement in the prior post. It's just a way to load scripts via USB now.

Further tests will show us what is possible at all. The information needed was given to several more devs so they can take part in the action.

Once again, proving geohot was right. You don't need Linux to sploit the ps3, and they removed it for nothing.

Now what are they going to do? make it so you can't install themes?

Oh wait, I don't need to be giving them ideas,

pretty cool, il check it out

Now what are they going to do? make it so you can't install themes?

they will probably just patch it so the size of theme that can be loaded / check for suspicious code
since unlike linux they have full control over this
