Project: PS3 Exploit Backup Tool & PS3 Hacks Forum Now Open

COOL! This will be the best beginning of 2009!

Only 1 problem: The size of a normal game would be aprox 20 GB. Does this mean i need to buy 1 HDD for 1 Game :confused:

I don't think we are even to a point of worrying about that yet hehe... this just has never been tried by the PS3 Devs here so they are experimenting with it, but hopefully tomorrow I can get CJPC to post in English for all of us exactly what is happening as it's a bit hard to follow. :confused:

At least we can use this thread for more of the English discussion while they use the original one for the Italian feedback. :cool:

Oops, my 1TB external HDD is already on its way. :mad:

I guess I was just too excited. :D

Giulio Benvenuto Su Ps3news Ti Ho Mandato Un Messaggio Privato Spero Che Mi Accettix_x

ROFL...

Good read otherwise!

What does this do again ?

Why bother about the size of a game? I think it will be the same like on the ps2 it was.Happy ripping of games :p

Also we have the BDGen and 1TB external hdd is not to expensive.

For me this news make the Blue Loader more interresting. Dont know if it will be the same team or not.
But know people will think that maybe this blue loader is true. :confused:

We will see.....

i dont get it ! again what it is doing?

you backup your system files onto a external device, edit them on the comp and restore them back on your ps3... unsigned code can be put in those backup files in a certain way...

Hi I didn't forgot USA/English users. Ask me whatever you want to know.

:D:D:D:D:D:D

I got 2 go now. Hope later i'll have something new to tell you.

I have a PDA so i can keep on eye the mails. idome tnks 4 the video

AMAZING WORK !!!! if any one is interested , i have a debug running 2.52 debug f/w & im more than willing to dump and share files, for learning purposes.

And this is helpful for the hack? what this is contribute for the hack?
tnx

I just wanted to post this but when I attempt to download the beta files, BitDefender alerts me of a Trojan.Generic.1256578 in the file. Not sure if its a false alarm or not but...

The .rar contains a trojan, but there is a repackaged one available in the same thread.

I'll explain what I have read here in the forums...

You backup your complete system to an External HDD and when you have the backup you connect it to your computer and ADD .pkg files(that you get from other systems like GAMES from the psn) to the backup you just made. After you have modified the backup you restore your system from this backup and you will get your system plus the .pkg file you just added(that could be a game or any other .pkg).

The tricky part here is that even though you are injecting .pkg files to the system, is to see if we can find a way to add a .pkg from a debug system or something that could break the ps3 hypervision. Thats to my understanding.

here's the repack: http://www.ps3news.com/forums/post227-251140.html

I thought this package included in the re-pack has also been modified in a certain way to make it work ie. not just any package will work.... at least not without modification...

Ok let me try to clear this up with the best of my knowledge at the current time. I don't think there's anything here for the average user. Nothing has been released that allows you to do anything significant at this point in time. Infact its so insignificant that people are wondering whether its real or not. I will hold off on any personal judgement of the situation however things honestly don't look very good.
We'll just have to see if giulio will return tmr and try to clear things up.

Now I know everyone has probably heard about this 'PS3 Backup Exploit BETA' which i can understand how it may be misleading with the word backup in there but please know that backup in this case refers to the function of the ps3 backing up your files like your saved games etc.

The beta released is supposed to demonstrate, inserting a pkg (sort of a ps3 program, or more correctly the package containing the program) from the debug console into the backup of a retail console and then restoring the backup on the retail console including the said pkg from the debug console.

I know it may sound confusing, but read it slowly, i'm sure you'll catch it. Now this is useless to everyone except devs who have to decide whether its totally useless or can be further developed.

Also the proof of concept (i.e. the beta) isn't even proven, because we can't seem to get it to work properly at this time.

Im Doing It Right Now i Hope It Works
Im just useing the debug.pkg for a test at 11:25 pm in usa
My ps3 Ps3 60gb retail NTSC Fw 2.53

done at : pm
What all did go on
/______________________________________________\
1st . run the backup
2nd. The restore operation could not be Completed the system will restart
Error Code : 800283F0

3rd system Restart
4th Hard disk,s database will be rebuilt
5th rebuliding
6th restart system
7th ps3 is ok
8th i still got all my stuff on the ps3
Ya i did not lose anything

nice, i'm glad u did not lose your data, feel free to experiment with other pkg cod4. gl :cool:

Unless you can create code for the ps3, then this is useless to you. If you could program some code to boot iso files then you would not be here reading this now! Using this exploit, you could run code that you have written. Problem is, Sony will probably leave things as they are and wait for somebody to write some code that boots iso's.

Soon as that happens, they will release an update deleting the inserted iso bootloader code. But maybe, hacked firwares could keep up with Sony's updates. In fact, if somebody could write some code that could update the system with hacked firmwares, maybe that could 'wedge' the door open, preventing Sony from shutting it.

I think you can say goodbye to online play if things get this far. Hacked PS3's will probably have to be quarantined from PSN and the net.

Well, Actually, No code can be ran from this (yet) as no-one has managed to repeat the results of Giulio19992....

Specifically, what code did Giulio19992 manage to insert?

what's the status of the progress atm? didn't follow all posts since yesterday...

Did he just insert separately downloaded demo's off of PSN? Did they install correctly afterwards?

did any1 try it with games like tekken 5 dr from the store?

Is it possible that the insertion code is keyed to Giulio's PS3 backup which is keyed back to his PS3, or his PS3 hard disk?

There may be some kind of seed for the insertion process that needs to be read from the backup file... just thinking...

For those who were trying to find the link for the latest video in the chatbox here it is:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzyrQlliCsA[/youtube]

Again, this is just a project Giulio19992 is working on and the video above is the one from today... it doesn't show anything new or exciting but I will try to keep this 'English' thread up to date for those following. :cool:

the file in the download section isn't the same... there is a icone (exe), we only have a batch.

Read the past posts before asking the same questions please... the self-unpacking .exe does the same as the batch file, the reason the .exe was removed is because those filetypes get flagged by some A/V programs.

hi, that is my first post but i have ask.....

Well, you only replace a packet a dat for a pkg, pkg is encrypted whith xor and dont have a eboot or other exe for understand or translate its information, is how insert data dummy, cant read and nothing execute.

What is the fuction?

The hdd have a mbr (and you say replace for other) dont is posible, broke the mbr.

Second step..

You only insert data but destroy old? dont believe, for what the system repair the base data but dont repair you change, only repair the mbr and find the data old erased in firs pass delete.

need more evidence and more explanation arguments

1saludo DemonHades

Let me be the first one to warmly welcome you here. Your project seems interesting and well based. Now let me say this and please do not take any offense - your English is hard to understand. Again - this is not meant as insult. Giulio's project has raised a lot of expectations and emotions because not many people (if any) can understand what he's trying to achieve.

Now here's my proposal to you to prevent similar confusion: post in your native language and let someone more skilled be the translator.

Do I read it correctly that .pkg are encrypted with XOR? Is that what you say?

I think I could make a really good translation of what Demonhades speaks, since I talk spanish too and I'm kinda fluent in English aswell :)

In before, I'm so glad Demonhades is here, since he's one of the skilled guys on the console scene and of course, he has all my respect ;)

2 things.

1. Could someone post a complete noob step by step how to do this "supposed exploit"

2. Has someone tried launching BD-J homebrew threw this exploit like NES emulator since it has recently been blocked maybe it will launch if you put the folder with the archive.dats??

Seems no one really knows what this should achieve or how to proceed correctly.
This is absolutely unprobable. BD-J uses Java Virtual Machine available as part of BD playback. The Java code being executed is part of the BD media - it is not packaged to .pkg as PS3 software (the same Java runs on other HW than PS3 that knows nothing about PS3 .pkg(s)).

I think me and a lot of other people are completely confused on how this exploit works. The instructions are so passive like were just suppose to know how to do everything already.

Ma dove sn finiti tutti gli italiani?

Io ci sono...ma sinceramente dopo le ultime notizie lette circa il lavoro di Giulio, ho perso le speranze...:(...l'idea che un team italiano portasse una svolta sulla scena PS3 hack era veramente interessante...

Ma ci sono novità in merito??

Ciao!

niente ke meriti purtroppo
