\nFounding member of Massive Entertainment Martin Walfisz, suggests that the PS3 could see a higher level of piracy than the PSP, due to the jailbreak.
\n<\/b>“I would assume that pirated copies can be stored on the HDD as well, making it so easy to use that PS3 piracy, given time, might even surpass the handhelds.”<\/b><\/p>\n

He also points out that future console makers could introduce an online type of DRM to prevent such things happening in the future.
\n“I believe that future-generation consoles will require a constant online connection, If they have that in place, they can run a much more powerful DRM scheme, where parts of the game logic will only be executed on secure servers – in effect partially mimicking a client-server scheme such as MMO’s use.”

\n“Infinity Ward creative strategist Robert Bowling, says that they are unable to protect Call of Duty Modern Warfare against hackers, unless Sony fixes the Jailbreak, this is what he says:
\nSony has recently acknowledged a breach in security on the PS3 which has resulted in the hardware and its games to become exposed to exploits and hacks. Modern Warfare 2 is no exception to this security exploit and we understand that some of you have experienced problems with stats and other issues associated with this.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2018Games rely on the security of the encryption on the platforms they\u2019re played on, therefore; updates to the game through patches will not resolve this problem completely, unless the security exploit itself is resolved on the platform. However, that doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re not going to look into every option available to us. Regretfully, Call of Duty games are receiving the bulk of the hacker\u2019s attention, due to its high player counts and popularity. However, the number of legitimate players severely outweighs the bad apples.\u2019<\/b>”

\nBack I don\u2019t have a PC at home now guys, so i will post here only when i\u2019m able. I will try to answer all your questions about HV and installing Linux. But expect some delays because as i said i don\u2019t have access to the Internet all the time.<\/b><\/p>\n

You know guys, you will say i\u2019m totally crazy now, but i never slept better than in the last 2 days I don\u2019t know how to explain this feeling but<\/b><\/p>\n

i don\u2019t care about those threats with jail and high money penalties, btw, SONY wants about 750.000 euros from me if i don\u2019t cooperate They don\u2019t know me at all I don\u2019t care about it and they might double it The higher is the sum the higher gets my motivation They don\u2019t understand what makes me tick. Money and even my life doesn\u2019t mean to me very much without knowledge. I have a scientific mind and the knowledge is food to my brain. Without HV, Linux and FreeBSD kernel hacking my life is meaningless.<\/b><\/p>\n

I miss my HV terribly In the last 2 days i got so \u201chungry\u201dfor more knowledge that i cannot control it anymore. I need knowledge and research, it has a huge meaning in my life. Jail or even death cannot hold it back anymore.<\/b><\/p>\n

The SONY\u2019s laywer asked me why i\u2019m doing what i\u2019m doing, because of my hatred for SONY ? He cannot understand why i\u2019m doing it, because he is paid for what he does. I\u2019m not. I don\u2019t hold a grudge against SONY even now Hatred clouds your mind, keeps you from more important things. I have a better use for my mind and knowledge<\/b><\/p>\n

So, SONY you failed again, you took my equipment but my mind is still free and you canot control it. You failed again. They are just tools, i can get new ones and will continue my HV reversing and bringing back PS3 Linux which you took from us. If you want me to stop then you should just kill me because i cannot live without programming, HV and Linux kernel hacking You know who am i and where i live, so come and get me !!!<\/b><\/p>\n

And to prove it, i will reopen right now my HV reverse engineering page And i will post my latest findings about Update Manager and BD drive here. Most of you know already that i was able to update CORE OS from Linux. And on the last weekend i tries to hel some PS3 devs with BD drive authentication and discovered some interesting stuff about it which i will post here.<\/b><\/p>\n

And please guys, could someone post here a link to the latest version of my cloned Linux kernel. I need it. The last week i implemnted a updater for Linux and it was finished but the police got first before i could upload it. But do not fear, i have everything in my head I can write it down again and show you how it works.<\/b>”

\nGeoHot releases a statement regarding graf_chokolo getting raided
\n<\/b>“<\/b>As many of you already know, 2 days ago his house was raided by the German police. Talk about a guy who clearly had no involvement at all with piracy, cheating, or the things Sony claims to care about. Do you want to know what he has that enrages the suits at Sony so much? Talent.
\nSome people call me immature, and you know what, they are probably right. Some call me stubborn, and they are right too. But this pales grossly in comparison to Sony, who is so butthurt over the PS3 being hacked they they are blinded by rage and incompetence.
\nA question, how many people do you think knew or cared on January 10 about all this? Maybe a couple hundred thousand? Under a percent of your market share. And these are geeks, who frankly aren\u2019t going to change their content purchasing habits based on the news. These are the kind of people who really are hacking their PS3 just for the sake of doing it, just cause it\u2019s cool. The kind of people who are telling you the truth when they say they really did just hack their PS3 to run Linux. Or they are diehard pirates who never would have bought the games anyway, you know the type.
\nNow fast forward to February 25. Consistently, the top Sony related news article is about the PS3 being hacked. And the causal gamer comes along and sees, oh cool, the PS3 has been hacked, now I don\u2019t have to buy games. With a few google searches, they come across stuff that I or graf_chokolo had nothing at all to do with. They install it and hit the torrent sites. Hell, I was on a political news show last night, you think those people ever would have heard about this?
\nJust imagine what the third party devs are thinking. The PS3 is hacked forever and Sony can\u2019t do anything but fire away at scapegoats. Great confidence boost.
\nThis grand show against people who aren\u2019t even pirates has to be one of the worst corporate moves in recent history, perhaps even as dumb as the rootkit fiasco. Your competition fixes the problem technically and moves on. They want it to stay quiet. And as far as sending a message to \u201cevil\u201d hackers goes, it really isn\u2019t working. Just read the writings of graf_chokolo.
\nAnd I quote \u201cSONY wants about 750.000 euros from me if i don\u2019t cooperate They don\u2019t know me at all I don\u2019t care about it and they might double it The higher is the sum the higher gets my motivation They don\u2019t understand what makes me tick. Money and even my life doesn\u2019t mean to me very much without knowledge. I have a scientific mind and the knowledge is food to my brain.\u201d
\nThey\u2019ll never understand people like us. They are scared, as they rightfully should be. We built your PS3. We built this world. We are not mindless consumers. It is us with the brains and curiosity, not you with the guns, jails, suits, titles, and dollars. And the truth is, if all of you disappeared tomorrow, the world would continue on fine. Good luck surviving without people like graf_chokolo.<\/b>“<\/b><\/p>\n

\nIt is reported that customs have seized even more PS3 consoles and have even went as far as confiscating them from the owners homes, UK newspaper The Guardian, said this<\/b><\/p>\n

Dutch police have seized several thousand PlayStation 3s at Sony\u2019s biggest European warehouse in the latest stage of its acrimonious patent battle with LG.
\nLG has won a court order enabling it to seize all new PS3 across the Netherlands \u2013 including those already in Dutch homes \u2013 in a dispute that centres on Sony\u2019s allegedly infringing use of Blu-ray technology belonging to LG.
\nThe injunction means that LG is tightening the net on PS3s in Europe, having already ordered customs officers to seize thousands of the consoles last week.
\nSony will fight to have the blockade lifted at an emergency hearing in the Hague\u2019s civil court of justice tomorrow.
\nLG argues that Sony PS3s infringe a number of its patents relating to playback of Blu-ray discs. The Korean company has been granted an investigation into the PS3?s Blu-ray use by the US international trade commission, after seeking a \u201cpermanent exclusion order \u2026 excluding entry into the United States\u201d of the games console.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

\n<\/b>“<\/b>Guys, i never wanted to take money from anybody for my work. And i always shared my work and code with PS3 developers and community. Recently i was working on bringing Linux to PS3 back, as you all know, unfortunately SONY managed to stop me. Many of you offered donations to help me continue my work and i always declined as you know. But now i really need your help and support in this fight with SONY. Please help me to pay my legal bills which are immensely because i cannot pay them on my own.

\nHermes releases HManager 1.5 and announces that he is leaving the scene
\n“Well, everyone gets the day and this is my time: I leave not only the PS3 scene, but EOL and Hermes disappear as a user. As a last gesture, I publish the sources necessary to compile my latest project (HManager + PSL1GHT + ps3soundlib + Tiny3D updated) in case someone wants to keep making the asshole in my place (which I have already done enough XD )<\/b><\/p>\n

Why do I leave? For because I have tired: simply, the pitcher has been filled and when it overflows, the time comes to one.<\/b><\/p>\n

So, goodbye very good, that you do well and a strong hug to those who really deserve it and those who do not deserve it, so then that one day life will kick you or maybe not, that is the shame. In any case, maybe he will read you, but what it is to participate, Hermes has written here his last message.<\/b><\/p>\n

\ndrizzt<\/b> posts a quote from IRC of Mathieulh stating that he has code running on firmware v3.60:
\n“while you are insulting me like morons, I already have code running on 3.60, and I am laughing, and guess what ? I am happy I stopped sharing, you can hate me for it, I don’t care.”<\/b><\/p>\n

Mathieulh would post a video of his claim:
\n“Mathieulh: actually you want video proof, let’s share one for the lol
\nMathieulh: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nknwBz-2v8c<\/a>“<\/b><\/p>\n

However not everyone was convinced, some other user on IRC also posted a video showing them running code on v3.60 which was called out as fake:
\n“<\/b>mastag23: just fyi
\nmastag23: that is fake
\nmastag23: it would look legit if he hadn’t of ran the debugging station launcher
\nmastag23: You fail “Connected from 192.168.0.2 on port 1000” (port might be wrong pretty blurry.
\nmastag23: This is a debug unit. That can’t be done on a retail unit. Run the Debugging Station Launcher on a retail and the debug tools won’t connect to it, yours obviously does
\nmastag23: debugging station launcher cant be connected to on retail
\nmastag23: if he hadnt of posted debugging station launcher
\nmastag23: he would be believable<\/b>“<\/b><\/p>\n

There was also some sort of disagreement between Mathieulh and KaKarToKS:
\n“KaKaRoTo: Fandangos, worked on ps3mfw for 5 weeks before i got busy with other stuff
\nKaKaRoTo: and now i’m working on something new and revolutionizing that will also take some months of work
\nKaKaRoTo: (hopefully )
\nKaKaRoTo: anyways, the theory says that it will jailbreak all future versions, but it needs probably 2 or more months of work to get it to actually be tested..
\nKaKaRoTo: then need to test and see if it works
\nKaKaRoTo: first, like I said thousnads of times, there will be no more cfw above 3.55
\nKaKaRoTo: secondly, math didn’t find any exploit, someone else did, math just tweeted it
\nKaKaRoTo: and no, my hack isn’t based on that, there’s no fun in using someone else’s work
\nMathieulh: KaKaRoTo actually it was me and rms, I found one fixed in 1.10 a few instructions below
\nMathieulh: told rms to look for the exploit
\nMathieulh: and he found the other instead xD
\nMathieulh: which I had missed
\nKaKaRoTo: Mathieulh, ah ok, that’s not what i was told, cause you kept referring to it as “the rms exploit” in the private chan
\nMathieulh: yah xD
\nKaKaRoTo: and didn’t know rms wanted his name to be known”

\nSCEA\u2019s Sr. Director of Corporate Communications & Social Media Patrick Seybold, releases a message on the US PS Blog, stating that SCEA and GeoHot have settled in court
\n<\/b>“<\/b>Joint Statement
\nSony Computer Entertainment America (\u201cSCEA\u201d) and George Hotz (\u201cHotz\u201d) today announced the settlement of the lawsuit filed by SCEA against Hotz in federal court in San Francisco, California.
\nThe parties reached an agreement in principle on March 31, 2011. As part of the settlement, Hotz consented to a permanent injunction.
\nBoth parties expressed satisfaction that litigation had been quickly resolved. \u201cSony is glad to put this litigation behind us,\u201d said Riley Russell, General Counsel for SCEA. \u201cOur motivation for bringing this litigation was to protect our intellectual property and our consumers. We believe this settlement and the permanent injunction achieve this goal.\u201d
\n\u201cIt was never my intention to cause any users trouble or to make piracy easier,\u201d said Hotz, I\u2019m happy to have the litigation behind me.\u201d Hotz was not involved in the recent attacks on Sony\u2019s internet services and websites.
\nIn the action, SCEA accused Hotz of violating federal law by posting online information about the security system in the PlayStation 3 videogame console and software that SCEA claimed could be used to circumvent the security system in the console and allow the playing of pirated videogames. Hotz denies any wrongdoing on his part. Hotz\u2019s motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction was still pending before the federal court in San Francisco but a preliminary injunction was issued requiring Hotz to take down the postings challenged by SCEA.
\n\u201cWe want our consumers to be able to enjoy our devices and products in a safe and fun environment and we want to protect the hard work of the talented engineers, artists, musicians and game designers who make PlayStation games and support the PlayStation Network,\u201d added Russell. \u201cWe appreciate Mr. Hotz\u2019s willingness to address the legal issues involved in this case and work with us to quickly bring this matter to an early resolution.\u201d<\/b>”

\n“As you are no doubt aware, the current emergency outage is continuing this afternoon and all Sony Online Network services remain unavailable.

\nSony finally admit after two days of PSN outage, that they have been hacked, here are some statements they release:
\nPS Blog<\/u>
\n“An external intrusion on our system has affected our PlayStation Network and Qriocity services. In order to conduct a thorough investigation and to verify the smooth and secure operation of our network services going forward, we turned off PlayStation Network & Qriocity services on the evening of Wednesday, April 20th. Providing quality entertainment services to our customers and partners is our utmost priority. We are doing all we can to resolve this situation quickly, and we once again thank you for your patience. We will continue to update you promptly as we have additional information to share.”<\/b><\/p>\n

Anonymous deny all involvement and release this statement:<\/u>
\n“For Once We Didn\u2019t Do It
\nSony\u2019s Playstation Network, its online service for Playstation 3 and its Playstation Portable consoles, suffered from a major outage today; which is on going as of this writting. According to Son\u2019ys blog, the interruption in service may last into the long weekend \u2013 for at least another \u201cfull day or two\u201d. Sony released a statement through its EU blog, saying that the network outage may be a result of \u201ctargeted behaviour by an outside party\u201d, brining in the possibility of cyberattacks. Adding to the confusion is the fact that the message has since been removed.<\/b><\/p>\n

While it could be the case that other Anons have acted by themselves AnonOps wa not related to this incident and takes no responsiblity for it. A more likely explination is that Sony is taking advantage of Anonymous\u2019 previous ill-will towards the company to distract users from the fact the outage is accutally an internal problem with the companies servers.”<\/b><\/p>\n

Sony later release this statement:<\/u>
\n“We sincerely regret that PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have been suspended, and we are working around the clock to bring them both back online. Our efforts to resolve this matter involve re-building our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure. Though this task is time-consuming, we decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security.
\nWe thank you for your patience to date and ask for a little more while we move towards completion of this project. We will continue to give you updates as they become available.”<\/b><\/p>\n

\nGerman website golem.de has an interview with graf_chokolo:
\nGolem.de: Do you actually have a Playstation 3 – and what do you use the console for above all?
\n<\/b>graf_chokolo:<\/b><\/u> I had a lot of PS3 consoles, three of my own and one was recently loaned to me. Everyone was taken away from me. I only use the Playstation 3 for development and reverse engineering, I don’t have any games for the PS3, I’m not interested in it either. I find games boring, but I enjoy reverse engineering and programming. I hardly use GameOS, mainly I am talking about Linux on the PS3, the development of new Linux kernel drivers for PS3.
\nGolem.de: How do you see yourself, as a hacker, gamer, coder, Internet activist,…?
\n<\/b>graf_chokolo:<\/b><\/u> I see myself mainly as a coder, reverse engineer and then maybe a little bit as a hacker. Above all, I am very interested in technical knowledge, which is also the reason why I started with reverse engineering on PS3. It\u2019s a lot of fun for me to find out something new on your own, especially about how an operating system and hypervisor works.
\nGolem.de: Are companies like Sony, but also Nintendo or Microsoft or Google, in your opinion evil? Which practices of the companies particularly disturb you?
\n<\/b>graf_chokolo:<\/b><\/u> With all these corporations, I’m bothered that they’re very monopolistic. They think that buying their products somehow binds me to them. I don’t like it at all, if someone thinks that – just because I buy something from him – he has some rights to me, or that he can tell me where it goes. And that’s what Sony is trying to do right now. And when Sony removed the “OtherOS” support, the company didn’t ask its customers if they liked that or not. Then why would I listen to Sony when they tell me to stop?
\nGolem.de: What’s so bad for you that Sony has disabled the “Other OS” option?
\n<\/b>graf_chokolo:<\/b><\/u> I think many people like me want to have Linux or FreeBSD on the Playstation 3 because it\u2019s much better suited for programming than GameOS. GameOS is only good for gaming, but with Linux you can easily develop new programs for the PS3 and thus expand your own PS3 with new functionality that take full power of the PS3. GameOS does not allow us to do this and is far from as mature as Linux.
\nGolem.de: How do you see the currently valid regulations for the protection of intellectual property, for example with regard to copy protection systems?
\n<\/b>graf_chokolo:<\/b><\/u> I think that unfortunately this is very badly abused by large corporations like Sony. Sony has money and power and thinks it can do what they want. Unfortunately, that’s the reality. But I see it very differently.
\nGolem.de: What do you think about the actions of Anonymous, which are also fighting Sony in your name?
\n<\/b>graf_chokolo:<\/b><\/u> I am very grateful to Anonymous and everyone else for the support they offer me. If we always give in without a fight, then soon big corporations like Sony will make our lives hell and tell us where it goes. This must not be allowed to them, and I am also prepared to stand up for my principles. The last PSN attacks have shown us how incompetent and negligent Sony handles our private data. Many blame the hackers, but the truth is that Sony is the main culprit. Sony is responsible for our private data!
\nGolem.de: Would you like even more support from the community, and in what form?
\n<\/b>graf_chokolo:<\/b><\/u> I especially wish that more people would show some backbone. Sony could not afford everything.
\nGolem.de: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself: What do you do professionally, what interests you?
\n<\/b>graf_chokolo:<\/b><\/u> Professionally, I work as a programmer. Reverse engineering and programming is not all that interests me. I like to read classical literature and I like to go to the theatre, opera and ballet.

\nThe The U.S. House Of Representatives sub committee are in court to discuss the PSN breach, Sony were invited, they failed to show, here is a quote from the chairwoman
\n<\/b>“<\/b>In recent years, sophisticated and carefully orchestrated cyber attacks \u2013 designed to obtain
\npersonal information about consumers, especially when it comes to their credit cards \u2013 have
\nbecome one of the fastest growing criminal enterprises here in the United States and across the
\nworld. The boldness of these attacks and the threat they present to unsuspecting Americans was
\nunderscored recently by massive data breaches at Epsilon and Sony.
\nWith 77 million accounts stolen \u2013 including some 10 million credit card numbers \u2013 the data
\nbreach involving Sony\u2019s PlayStation Network has the potential to become the \u201cGreat Brink\u2019s
\nRobbery\u201d of cyber attacks. And the \u201ctake\u201d keeps going up.
\nWhile the FBI and Secret Service, along with other law enforcement agencies, work around the
\nclock to try and crack this sensational case, we now learn that a second Sony online service was
\nalso compromised during the same time period. Computer hackers obtained access to personal
\ninformation relating to an additional 25 million customer accounts. That\u2019s more than 100<\/b> <\/b>million accounts now in jeopardy.
\nLike their customers, both Sony and Epsilon are victims, too. But they also must shoulder some
\nof the blame for these stunning thefts, which shake the confidence of everyone who<\/b> <\/b>types in a
\ncredit card number and hits \u201center.\u201d E-commerce is a vital and growing part of our economy.We should take steps to embrace and protect it \u2013 and that starts with robust cyber security.
\nAs Chairman of this Subcommittee, I am deeply troubled by these latest data breaches, and the
\ndecision by both Epsilon and Sony not to testify today. This is unacceptable.<\/b>“<\/b><\/p>\n

\nSir Howard Stringer, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America, wrote a letter to all PSN users that was published on the PS Blog :
\n<\/b>“<\/b>Dear Friends,
\nI know this has been a frustrating time for all of you.
\nLet me assure you that the resources of this company have been focused on investigating the entire nature and impact of the cyber-attack we\u2019ve all experienced and on fixing it. We are absolutely dedicated to restoring full and safe service as soon as possible and rewarding you for your patience. We will settle for nothing less.
\nTo date, there is no confirmed evidence any credit card or personal information has been misused, and we continue to monitor the situation closely. We are also moving ahead with plans to help protect our customers from identity theft around the world. A program for U.S. PlayStation Network and Qriocity customers that includes a $1 million identity theft insurance policy per user was launched earlier today and announcements for other regions will be coming soon.
\nAs we have announced, we will be offering a \u201cWelcome Back\u201d package to our customers once our PlayStation Network and Qriocity services are up and running. This will include, among other benefits, a month of free PlayStation Plus membership for all PSN customers, as well as an extension of subscriptions for PlayStation Plus and Music Unlimited customers to make up for time lost.
\nAs a company we \u2014 and I \u2014 apologize for the inconvenience and concern caused by this attack. Under the leadership of Kazuo Hirai, we have teams working around the clock and around the world to restore your access to those services as quickly, and as safely, as possible.
\nI know some believe we should have notified our customers earlier than we did. It\u2019s a fair question. As soon as we discovered the potential scope of the intrusion, we shut down the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services and hired some of the best technical experts in the field to determine what happened. I wish we could have gotten<\/b> <\/b>the answers we needed sooner, but forensic analysis is a complex, time-consuming process. Hackers, after all, do their best to cover their tracks, and it took some time for our experts to find those tracks and begin to identify what personal information had \u2014 or had not \u2014 been taken.
\nAs a result of what we discovered we notified you of the breach. Our investigation is ongoing, and we are upgrading our security so that if attacks like this happen again, our defenses will be even stronger.
\nIn the last few months, Sony has faced a terrible earthquake and tsunami in Japan. But now we are facing a very man-made event \u2013 a criminal attack on us \u2014 and on you \u2014 and we are working with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies around the world to apprehend those responsible.
\nIn the coming days, we will restore service to the networks and welcome you back to the fun. I wanted to personally reach out and let you know that we are committed to serving you to the very best of our ability, protecting your information better than ever, and getting you back to what you signed up for \u2013 all the games and great entertainment experiences that you expect from Sony.
\nWith best regards,
\nHoward Stringer<\/b>”

The second regards how Sony will regain consumer confidence in Japan, given the loss of personal data – and potentially credit card data.”

\n“Primary reports seem to be that updating to firmware 3.61 will cause PlayStations to overheat. There have been various reports of this on a few different games now, all reporting their PS3s turning off or ‘Red Lighting’ after having installed 3.61, this can range from games randomly freezing to PS3s turning off anywhere between 30 mins use to two hours. We have confirmed locally that multiple games (Rockstar and non-Rockstar) overheat or freeze only when 3.61 is installed.”
\nHowever they go on to delete the thread and post a new one stating that there issues on the Xbox 360 version of L.A. Noire.

\nAgents of the National Police have dismantled the leadership of the “hacktivist” organization Anonymous in Spain. Three of their leaders in our country, in charge of making decisions and directing the attacks, have been arrested in Barcelona, Valencia and Almer\u00eda. One of the detainees protected at home a server from which they coordinated and executed computer attacks on government, financial or business websites around the world.
\nFrom this house in Gij\u00f3n the websites of the Playstation store of Sony, BBVA, Bankia, ENEL and the governments of Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Iran, Chile, Colombia and New Zealand were attacked. On May 18, the detainees launched an offensive against the page of the Central Electoral Board and subsequently also against the websites of the Mossos d’Esquadra and the UGT.

\nPS3 Media Server 1.24.0 is released<\/b><\/p>\n

13th of June 2011<\/b><\/span>
\nIn an interview with New York Times, SCEA CEO Jack Tretton claims that the company are not against customers modifying their PS3s.
\n“Q.) Some hackers say Sony wants to deter customers from modifying the PlayStation3. Is that true?A.) No, there\u2019s a real misnomer there, we embrace independent game development; if you call that hacking, then we embrace that. We give people tools that let them create new experiences. What I don\u2019t think we are in support of is someone trying to hack our device to pirate software and possibly collapse the platform.”
\nSource<\/a><\/b> – 718<\/b><\/p>\n

14th of June 2011<\/span>
\nKaKaRoTo sends a letter to the New York Times quoting what Jack Tretton said the previous day in regard to PS3 customers modifying their PS3s.
\n“This is a complete lie, and Mr. Tretton is being dishonest with you and with your readers. The world needs to know the truth: Sony has been hard at work to prevent customers from modifying their rightfully owned Playstation 3 system and this has absolutely nothing to do with piracy. It is almost a similar situation to the lawsuit from Sony about AiboPet who wrote software to make the AIBO robot dog do tricks that weren’t programmed in it initially. Was that about piracy or about control ?<\/b><\/p>\n

They sued George Hotz for opening up the console to homebrew while he expressly did not allow any piracy on his jailbreak (to this date, no one can pirate games using his jailbreak method). <\/b><\/p>\n

They also sued and raided Alexander Egorenkov’s house twice and he is still being sued (no settlement with him) for the work that he has done, which had absolutely nothing to do with piracy, ALL his efforts were for the sole purpose of restoring Linux support to the PS3, which was an originally advertised and available feature of the PS3 and that Sony illegally removed from our device. He is being sued for writing patches to the Linux kernel and for writing drivers for Linux. Is that what Mr. Tretton calls “we embrace that” ?<\/b><\/p>\n

They have also been sending Cease and Desist letters and threats to anyone who has been involved with the PS3 hacking scene and homebrew (independent game) developers. Using those scare tactics to repress the community is not the best way to ’embrace’ it.<\/b><\/p>\n

Also, it is not possible for any homebrew developer to create and develop for the PS3 without proper licensing from Sony, which requires them to buy a dev console for 10 000 or 25 000$. Sony are not embracing independent game development, on the contrary, they are the only ones out there who are not.<\/b><\/p>\n

While Apple has the App Store, Google has the Android Market and Microsoft has the XBox Live Indie Games program, Sony are the only ones who have not embraced the homebrew community and who are not allowing us to use our consoles the way we want to. In their lawsuit against George Hotz they had the audacity of saying that it is not our console, it is theirs, that we are merely ‘renting’ it from them, they own it even if we bought it, and that trying to access our machine is the equivalent of a cracker trying to hack into a ‘third party, remote, secure computer’.<\/b><\/p>\n

I have started a few weeks ago a petition asking Sony to give us an official and legitimate way of developing and running homebrew games on the PS3, you can find it here : http:\/\/humblehomebrew.com. Many people are signing the petition, but the only answer we receive from Sony is an automated response message stating that “Our policy on this issue has not changed. We are therefore not in a position to fulfill your request.”. Again, this is in contradiction with what Mr. Tretton said about “embracing independent game developers”.<\/b><\/p>\n

It has to be known that this is also why they are getting targeted by all their hackers, it is because of how they are oppressing the developers of the world, how they sued George Hotz and how they sued and raided Alexander Egorenkov’s house. But mostly, it is for how they abused the law and how they reacted during the lawsuit. And this is not only about saying that the machine that we bought and that we own is actually theirs, but also, for example, the fact that they sent subpoenas all over the place to get as much information about anyone and anything that dared look at the Playstation 3 the ‘wrong way’. They tried to access everyone’s twitter, youtube and paypal accounts. They wanted to get all the information on all the transactions on everyone connected to those transactions on the hacker’s paypal accounts, whether it was relevant or not. They wanted to get the IP addresses (and thus, be able to identify and potentially sue) of every single person who watched a video on Youtube. They sent all of these subpoenas after the judge rejected them, hoping to still get some information before the judge notices, they also sent them without telling the subpoenaed parties that they have a right to quash. The Judge had to force the lawyers to contact every party and withdraw the illegally sent subpoenas.<\/b><\/p>\n

This is the reason that they are being hacked, it is because of how they abused the law, how they threatened everyone and because of the lawsuit that is still in progress against a security researcher and Linux developer.<\/b><\/p>\n

The hacker community is outraged at Sony’s actions and this is how they are reacting, they are fighting against Sony’s oppression of our rights to free speech and our right to our property.<\/b><\/p>\n

I believe that your readers have a right to hear the truth and not only a one-sided argument from the CEO of the company. Please update your post or write a new one with details about what is really going on, if you need or want any more information, feel free to ask me anything you’d like concerning this issue and it will be my pleasure to answer you and give you all the relevant links and documentation to back anything that I’ve said.<\/b><\/p>\n

Thank you for your time,
\nKaKaRoTo.<\/b>”

\n“If you look at the average Home user, they are the most hardcore gamer on the PS3.
\nThey buy more games than the average PS3 user, they play more games than the average PS3 user. They also watch more movies than the average PS3 user, who is already a highly self-selective consumer. We’re talking about rabid consumers of media and hardcore gamers. That’s who these people are.”

\ncotojestwtf the developer behind Server Mapper 1.0 and the upcoming PS3Linked, reports that his home got visited by Polish police after a “friend” snitched on him for PS3 piracy
\n“First of all, I\u2019d like to apologize to everyone waiting for the PS3Linked program. As you know, there was supposed to be a public test, but it didn’t happen\u2014let me explain why. Unexpectedly, an acquaintance reported me to the police for piracy and hacking the PS3 console, pointing them to my YouTube channel. Early on the morning of June 30, 2011, two officers paid me a visit with a warrant; they confiscated my computer and took me down to the station. We eventually reached an agreement: I wouldn’t face any penalties provided I shut down my YouTube channel, which promoted the use of illegal tools and encouraged software piracy. That wasn’t all, though\u2014the officers decided to thoroughly search my computer, which was full of pirated content, and I was facing additional penalties for that as well. I got my computer back on July 2, 2011, but it had been completely wiped clean. PS3Linked is still 90% complete; I\u2019m no longer leading the project myself, though I still have insight into the work being done\u2014rest assured, the app will see the light of day soon. After these events, I\u2019ve come to understand the serious developers who stay quiet about new Custom Firmware (CFW); you should understand them too\u2014it\u2019s really unpleasant when the authorities come knocking. As for me? I\u2019ll likely never bring the channel back or post tutorials related to the “dark side” of hacking, but I\u2019ll still happily visit PS3-hack.com.pl and participate in the forum in less conspicuous categories.
\nBest regards, “cotojestwtf”.”

\nPS3Crunch reports of a new new Hardware Flasher for the PS3, is being worked on, this device, which is being called PROGSKEET, enables you to Flash or Dump your PS3, it also lets you downgrade from PS3 firmware 3.56.
\nHere is a quote from uf6667 the developer who creates the software for this product:
\n<\/b>“<\/b>alright let me give you some more details about it:
\n\u2013 1MB\/s sustained speed (vs. 50kB\/s on infectus) \u2013 example : read 256 MB NAND in 1\/20th time of infectus requires
\n\u2013 can read\/write NOR flash up to a VERY big capacity (that doesn\u2019t even exist) \u2013 infectus can only write up to 256kB \u2013 teensy++ has no writing capability atm (iirc) \u2013 might be supported by the software, not sure if it can match its speed though
\n\u2013 EVERY KIND OF NOR\/NAND FLASH SUPPORTED \u2013 infectus doesn\u2019t, teensy++ needs special firmwares for every single one
\nyou won\u2019t even need ME to update the software, semi-skilled people just read datasheets and adapt the configuration file
\n(regular nand\/nor flashes included in PS3, 360, Wii, etc. are already in there, but say you\u2019re using this for car tuning, you\u2019re gonna need to adapt the config)
\nI know the hardware well but HAVE NOT DEVELOPED IT \u2013 I only made the software for it so if you have a problem with that, you just get at me (don\u2019t flood please, thanks )
\nso: cancel infectus order, be patient for at least 3 more days, you won\u2019t regret it<\/b>”

\n<\/b>“<\/b>I believe knowledge and information wants to be free.
\nThis is why I consider that this project is open-hardware and will be open-source !
\nLearn what you can and help contribute to making the PS3 scene a better place.
\nReleased by No_One.
\nPS: This the dynamic switch between the 2 NOR that will probably lead to 3.6x+ keys
\ndecryption\/MFW but also to a TRUE dual firmware management
\nPPS: No other hardware (Infectus, Progskeet\u2026) can manage what PNM do.
\nIt is quite different than these products. Functions in PNM will be much more advanced. Again, everything will be FREE in some weeks !!!<\/b>“<\/b><\/p>\n

Chatlog from IRC
\n“[07:28:39] <KaKaRoTo> heri, docpaul showtime would work fine
\n[07:28:58] <sandungas> kakaroTo, this means new tcl patches for mfw and some changes to manage 3.73 ?
\n[07:29:17] <KaKaRoTo> ddoo, and no I didn\u2019t fix the npdrm algo, that\u2019s what I\u2019m missing (hence the \u201ckind of\u201d) but I\u2019m not working on that, that\u2019s someone else\u2019s job
\n[07:30:05] <middleman> gonna debut it at ccc kakaroto or before?
\n[07:30:06] <KaKaRoTo> ddoo, and even if npdrm signing worked.. how do you install your pkg on an OFW 3.73 ?
\n[07:30:22] <heri> so KaKaRoTo, once the NPDRM algo is fixed, a release will come?
\n[07:31:14] <KaKaRoTo> heri, another missing bit, but once that\u2019s fixed, yes
\n[07:31:23] <KaKaRoTo> but I\u2019ll probably be off country for the next 2 weeks
\n[07:31:30] <KaKaRoTo> so all work will have to be paused
\n[07:31:52] <heri> oh, fair enough. we can all wait 2 weeks hey \ud83d\ude1b we have waited months anyways
\n[07:32:06] <KaKaRoTo> ddoo, that might work.. you could also just install your pkg on 3.55 then upgrade\u2026
\n[07:32:20] <KaKaRoTo> ddoo, upgrading doesn\u2019t delete any of your packages
\n[07:32:37] <KaKaRoTo> ddoo, issue is, you\u2019re lost if you didn\u2019t do it before upgrading
\n[07:32:53] <ddoo> but they fail because the npdrm algo is spoted by the checks in 3.56+
\n[07:33:13] <KaKaRoTo> heri, also note, I \u201cannounced\u201d it because I was excited to see it work as expected
\n[07:33:22] <KaKaRoTo> doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s ready for release
\n[07:33:31] <KaKaRoTo> ddoo, exactly
\n[07:33:36] <heri> yeh thats what we were saying just before you came
\n[07:33:43] <KaKaRoTo> so you need : 1 \u2013 npdrm algo fixed, 2 \u2013 a way to install stuff
\n[07:33:53] <heri> you only announce when you are confident it works
\n[07:33:58] <KaKaRoTo> 1 has been done by someone else (don\u2019t know if he\u2019ll share it), and 2.. well, I just did it
\n[07:34:37] <KaKaRoTo> heri, well, I was testing on 3.60 and it worked, but yes, I did upgrade to 3.73 to test that it still works just to make sure I don\u2019t tweet any false hopes
\n[07:34:46] <middleman> but you cant run what you installed until 1 is fixed correct?
\n[07:34:59] <KaKaRoTo> middleman, exactly
\n[07:36:17] <middleman> interesting
\n[07:36:19] <docpaul> nice, thx KaKaRoTo
\n[07:36:40] * KaKaRoTo needs to hide now if he wants to get any work done
\n[07:36:42] <KaKaRoTo> ttyl ”

Part of his blog post in regards to the homebrew enabler
\n“So what is this jailbreak? I won\u2019t say because I don\u2019t want Sony to block it in a firmware update (and yes, they potentially could) before it\u2019s even released (and yes, I will release it when it\u2019s ready). But I will explain this to you : in order to run your homebrew apps, you need two things. First, to be able to install them on the ps3, and second to be able to run it once installed. I did only one of these two things.<\/b><\/p>\n

Some may say it\u2019s not a real jailbreak, but the way I see it, there are three \u2018jails\u2019 on the ps3, I broke the first one which prevents you from installing anything, so now you can install your .pkg, great, but it won\u2019t run, that\u2019s the second jail. The third jail is being able to modify the firmware (peek&poke).<\/b><\/p>\n

The second jail (running apps) is something that can be done, but it\u2019s not my area of expertise (npdrm algo), so I will not be working on that. I am waiting for someone else to achieve it (some have succeeded but do not wish to release it, at least not for now) then I will release.<\/b><\/p>\n

The third jail (modifying the firmware) is not possible with my method, this means that you will not have a \u201cCFW\u201d, you will run your homebrew applications and games on an official firmware. This also means that without peek&poke support, none of the backup managers will work. So, again, my solution is piracy-free, and as always, I do not plan on working on a way to enable piracy (or even legal backups).<\/b><\/p>\n

Overall, the purpose will be to allow people who are on 3.73 firmware to enjoy the homebrew games that were released, to play a bit with Eskiss, and to use Showtime for playing their movies. This should be more than enough for everyone.”

A Q&A by eussNL<\/b>
\n<\/b>“<\/b>Q: Will I need special hardware?<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/b>A: No.<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/b>Q: Will homebrew work?<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/b>A: With NPDRM fixed, yes. Showtime would certainly be possible.<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/b>Q: Will recent games play correct<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/b>A: Yes, its 3.7x, sure it plays all 1.00 \u2013 3.7x games.<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/b>Q: Does it have Peek& Poke?<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/b>A: No.<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/b>Q: Do Backup manangers work?<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/b>A: No, see previous answer.<\/b><\/span>

\n<\/b>Q: Does it gets us \u201cCFW\u201d\/MFW?<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/b>A: No.<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/b>Q: Will it allow downgrade?<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/b>A: No.<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/b>Q: So why are all the newssites hyping this that it does?<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/b>A: Because they don\u2019t read wiki\u2019s\/blog\u2019s xD Besides, every minor news gets \u2018prolly CFW soon!\u2019 tagged by the bad ones.<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/b>Q: Is there a release date?<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/b>A: No, besides KaKaRoTo not able to work on it for 2 weeks, it also relies on (other people?) fixing NPDRM.<\/b><\/span>”

\n<\/b>“<\/b>This release is a tool that will decrypt (and then also re-encrypt) the SIG files that were leaked in the CEX-DEX packages earlier this year and also the files released by an0nymous a month or so ago. The SIG files have not gotten a lot of attention, maybe because no one could read them. However, that’s about to change.<\/b>”
