PS3 Hackers able to sign code (and more)!

Just hope this doesn't mean more cheaters on PSN

unfortunately there will be millions of them now


QUOTE(aguyyyy @ Dec 29 2010, 09:45 PM) Ugh...MW2 was INFESTED with them... T-T

quite funny; just was in a hacked lobby, some guy was having infinite head shots, everyone had a wallhack and golden desert eagle and insta-nukes and all that stuff

as much as im quite thrilled about this issue, i hope that the whole PS3 "Scene" doesn't just fall for into Cheating and Piracy / then again its highly likely it would.

cheating offline is fine, but cheating online and annoying everyone NOT OK

maybe they'll all piss off from the wii and go to psn

 

[gamerjr]

Hahaha here comes the pirate ship.
Honestly has the PS3 really fallen to the hackablily level of the Wii?

In the coming months it's possible for it to be far pass its hackability of the wii

Going through the presentation is a fascinating technical talk. Just goes to show that you can have all the security in the world, but it doesn't account for user stupidity.

The public key crack is a truly an Epic Fail on Sony's part. It's surprising how despite all the acrutements of security built into the PS3 the astounding failure of the implementation of each component is astounding. It truly is on the level of the Wii in terms of the security implementation.

Wait, did I understand correctly? The PS3 will be hackable tomorrow? (when I think they are revealing how)

EDIT: easily and freely hackable*

Assuming you mean "I can download this file tomorrow and it makes everything work", no.
Jumping to conclusions, don't.

Eventually yes. Right now it's basically like you found the keys to the mansion under the floor mat at the entrance. Once inside you can do whatever you want. We're not there yet. The big things are that:

1) the private key has been discovered due to incompetence
2) The hack cannot be 'patched' by any means by firmware updates

 

[DigitalDeviant]

so based on these new findings, are we any closer to CFW on ps3?

 

[MFDC12]

That's just immense, after all that time, the pirates finally win (again). This is awesome!

hackers and pirates are not the same thing.

YES

 

[Justin121994]

This cannot be patched. If the custom signed homebrew is signed the same way sony code is, there is no way it can be blocked. Sony can't do this if they do they block everything games included. Games wouldn't run. They are screwed.

 

[purechaos996]

PS1 (well back then it wasn't a big deal) but just burn and play
PS2 (some easy modification but somewhat easy to pirate on)
PSP (CFW)

Sony sucks security wise lol.

 

[Mike&Ike]

The hackers win again, I think in the future, thanks to this we'll have loads of things from the PS3
homebrew scene.

You can't say sony failed hard, their security lasted over 4 years. They did good.

I could have been hacked more soon, but people were apparently put off by the statement of "Inhackability". Seriously this could have been blown wide open 2 - 3 years ago if there was more interest back then. Just goes to show you that no one should listen to the manufacturer, and push the limits, and break the rules anyway.

So you think Sony telling everybody its unhackable was unintentional? As I said, they did well.

Cost had alot to do with it not being hacked to. I believe GeoHot was giving one for free and he had hacked it in a few weeks. Also must hackers i have seen start out by just wanting to run linux on a console and since the PS3 already had linux and could run emus and some other homebrew in it there was no need nut when Sony removed linux that motivated people into trying to put linux back and when they found away then that opened the door for piracy and other homebrew. If Sony had not removed OtherOS the PS3 probably would still be unhacked.

 

[Justin121994]

It wasn't a complete fail it lasted awhile. There biggest fail was when they started removing features and spat out bullshit that it would cost too much to have linux on the slim.

When they removed OtherOS, it all went viral. Don't touch the homebrew of hackers.

With homebrew ~4Years+
When homebrew was removed: ~3-5 months?
