After D_Skywalk takes a break from the scene Estwald takes over maintaining and releasing Irisman, he releases Irishman v1.55 with some conditions
“Well, since D_Skywalk is on paternity leave and asked me to start a new thread so I could keep it updated, that’s exactly what I’m doing—taking the opportunity to announce a new version 😉
First of all, I’d like to set three conditions:
1) I won’t be handling version control; I closed my GitHub account and have absolutely no desire to go back to those bastards. Plus, using Git on Windows is usually nothing but trouble—especially since it doesn’t support http addresses. So, I’ll just upload a RAR file, and that’s it. If anyone else wants to manage version control, that’s up to them, but for now, I won’t be doing it.
2) The official version is the one D_Skywalk and I maintain. Contributions are welcome—within limits—since we’ve already established that the GUI must remain basically the same and the application’s underlying structure shouldn’t be broken. That doesn’t mean you can’t go your own way and change things up, but if you do, you’ll have to give your application a different name—as expressly requested by D_Skywalk. Obviously, minor changes don’t require a name change; the goal is collaboration, not competition. As long as that’s respected, I have no problem helping out, and so on.
3) The third condition—or rather, a request—is that someone familiar with the Wiki should create an “Iris Manager” entry. This would allow us to link to it in this post and make things easier for you (or anyone else) should I ever leave the project.
And now, let’s get down to business”

“Ok, guys. Unfortunately I forced to admit that I have no more time to work on PS3 stuff because I’m very busy lately. So I decided to publish all information related to PS2 classics as @JuanNadie did with the NPDRM algorithm one year ago. Firstly I wanted to say that he was the first who started reverse-engineering on this subject and when he left the scene I decided to continue his work to keep it from going to waste. And so I would like to thank @JuanNadie for his amazing contribution to the PS3 scene. Besides that, he gave me some piece of information on the subject.”

“Hi all this is me Abkarino,
Last night, a lot of great release had been released for public like 3.60+ loader keys and crypto tools that will enable any body to decrypt/encrypt lv1ldr extracted from decrypted lv0.
But since this tools still need some keys to work and no body had released this keys yet or it does not published in ps3devwiki also,
A lovely bird (thanks and credit goes to him) had hinted me about this keys, to allow us to decrypt/re-encrypt the lv1ldr our self like Rebug team for example to make our own CFW.
So i had figured how to use this great tool to decrypt/re-encrypt extracted scrambled and encrypted lv1ldr from lv0 my self.
So i had decided to release this keys to help the public to do it them self also.
This keys is consist of two sets one for PPU and the other one for SPU.”

David Cage: We had this discuss with Sony at some point about should we release this game on PlayStation 4, or should we release it on PlayStation 3, and our position has always been that we want to be on PlayStation 3, because we think it’s a very exciting moment for the console as it has the bigger install base.”

flatz releases a theory on how PS3s are banned from the PlayStation Network
“Hi, guys. Several days ago I’ve worked on the SSL traffic decryption used in communication with PSN and have got some interesting information regarding the way how can Sony determine consoles with non original console ID. Well, it is just a theory but the principle laid in it can be used to ban your spoofed console with 100% probability. So my words can be read as “If I worked at Sony, I would use this information for banning people”. A new algorithm will show you that buying another console ID to use with your console is not safe anymore and I think that all purchased console IDs will be useless soon. Okay, let’s start.
At October 23rd, 2012, Sony releases a new firmware for Playstation 3 (version 4.30) which includes only few changes if you’ve read its changelog. But now I know that they have introduced a new hidden feature which allows them to determine if you are legal user or not. It is compared with the code which some games like “Call of Duty” use to tell Sony that you are using a custom firmware. Sony did some changes at the algorithm for PSN authorization. You can remember that they use PSN passphrase to log into their network and you also should know that they are sending your console ID in a HTTP query. And now they use two passphrases; a new passphrase is encoded with base64 and is sent via custom HTTP header (“X-I-5-Passphrase”). If you’ll try to decode it then you’ll see that it have a size of 512 bytes which are looks as random data. It is encrypted per console data and it is different each time you log into a network. It includes a random header, your user ID, console ID, two ECDSA signatures from the first section of EID0 (I remind you that the first ECDSA signature used at lv1ldr to check if your console is converted from CEX to DEX manually which causes a brick) and account ID. Besides that, data is hashed with SHA-256 algorithm and encrypted with AES-128-CBC. Using random header and CBC mode of operation gives them an unique passphrase each time.
Now Sony can use the following simple algorithm on their server to check your console’s legality:
1. Compare console ID stored in the HTTP GET request with the console ID stored inside the passphrase;
2. Validate two ECDSA signatures;
3. If steps above are okay then your console ID is legal.
They didn’t made a mistake in ECDSA signature computation for EID0 so we are unable to get a private key to generate custom signatures. But if you have an access to EID root key and EID0 section of another console then you can decrypt its EID0 and grab all neccessary data from it. In such case you can generate a spoofed passphrase but you need some sort of runtime memory patching to replace original passphrase with the new one. Or you can try to replace signatures and console ID inside decrypted EID0 section of your console and then encrypt it back. But I doubt that any purchased console IDs came with EID root key.
The last thing I want to talk about is does Sony actually use this method at the moment or they are waiting for something? Maybe they collect all information and will start to ban people in the future? I don’t know and I doubt that someone else knows about it. For example, they can use this method and start to ban people when they are playing some games after several days/weeks/months, etc.”

“We monitor PSN account for any irregular activity. If such activity is detected we will sometimes reset passwords.
This was done purely as precautionary measure and there was no specific evidence that any accounts had be compromised.
Only a small number of users were affected by this and as I said this was precautionary so there is nothing specific to worry about.
I cant provide any further details as this would affect out ability to keep you guys safe.
If anyone has any concerns about there PSN account drop me a PM or give PlayStation Support a call.
You should also contact Support if you are unable to reset your password for any reason. SFZ”
