Hacking PS3 USB Master Key Found

[MrDiesel]

The USB Master Key of the PS3 has finally been found, thanks to the PS3Yes team. It has been confirmed working with PSGrade. Also Mathieulh has confirmed it with the following tweet (removed by him):

[key here], Have a nice day xD

Finally the wait is over!

key removed - it can be found on the homepage of psx-scene.com

Edit:
Removed key as it is copyrighted. Also I didn't notice it was already posted in user-submitted news.

Oh oh, false alarm. Seems like PS3Yes has obfuscated the key some way.
QUOTEMathieulh via Twitter:
That key seems not to be the proper one, they obfuscated the device key, not that it's a problem anyway.
kakaroto via Twitter:
@Mathieulh no, it's obfuscated, that's not the key. at least, it fails my test...

Yet another fake Master Key?
WiiBricker: It wasn't. It was leaked.
EDIT: Seems it is real.
O.P. They string is copywrited. Please remove it so gbatemp isn't shutdown.
Remember people google is your friend.

Currently it can be used to downgrade 3.50 systems. More isn't known right now by the public.

Removed key as requested

can't paste the source right now, 'cause i'm on my iPhone (kinda slow

)

Ps: note that this isn't THE master key. It is the USB master key.

Turns out its fake. The real key was obfuscated and people simply thought this was the right one.

 

[MrDiesel]

Was just going to edit it after reading the update

Not that easy on an iPhone.
