188w ago - Developers at DemonHades have located and mapped the JTag Port on a PS3 Blu-ray drive board today.
To quote, roughly translated: I found the JTag port for the Blu-ray Reader on the PlayStation 3. Last night after finishing the research meeting I went looking for information about BD integrated reader.
In and looking at the information that I found on the back of the plate reader I saw that there is no connector terminals, these terminals belong to a connector which connects 'something' via terminals and through the Internet I found the points used in a JTag, including the TDO, TDI, TMS etc.
Originally developed for printed circuit boards, it is currently used for test of submodules of integrated circuits, and is also useful as a mechanism for debugging embedded applications, as it provides a backdoor to within the system.
When used as a debugging tool, an in-circuit emulator that uses JTag as the transport mechanism allows the programmer to access the debugging module that is integrated into the CPU. The debug module enables the programmer to correct their errors and code logic of their systems.
There are consumer products that have a JTag port integrated, so that the connections are often available on the PCB as part of the prototype phase of the product. These connections can provide a simple way to reverse-engineer.
As you can see we have a door strike to try to get the firmware, decrypted data, and all that is able to control the Blu-ray reader.

Hi, Im John from the USA. I've had a PS3 since release. It somehow disappeared when moving and I ended up getting a SLIM about a year and a half to tw...
The PS3 KeyVault Project was shelved by the Project Leaders... as I replied in an old post (HERE) they basically found more direct paths to what they were trying to accomplish at the time.
In one of CJPC's PS3 Dev articles (HERE) he posted the corrected estimate of how long it would take to bruteforce the Retail PS3 Decryption Key, and due to an initial gross miscalculation by one of the Lead Devs it ended up being longer than anyone here will be on earth.
Even if we got 1 million people working on it full time, you could only divide that number by 1,000,000 so still a HUGE number indeed.
I mean to hack the BD Drive/FW is useless.Even if CJPC and the xboxhacker community will be wrong about the jtag port of the bd drive (what i doubt) and the demonhades dev's can dump the bd fw they would need to crack the 256bit encryption and also to change the bd fw in the ps3's fw itself.
Let me say it in the words of Bushing: So much fail...
I really hate the idea of buying something with so much encryption. At which point is the hardware mine? Anyway, good job with the info so far.
I am not sure i got an answer about using distributed computing to hack these encrypted files. Asked long long ago. Is it not at all possible?
We can all hope that it does work, but in all of our tests - the JTAG was blown.
One must force Sony to release the code of BD FW in the court
