Lamers Have PS3 HDD Decrypted Tutorial, Sony Now Knows!

Category: PS3 Hacks & JailBreak  By: NDT - (ps3news.com)
Tags: lamers have ps3 hdd decrypted tutorial sony now knows

224w ago - This working of knightsolidus with me was supposed to be private, but now DemonHades leaked it and then Pirate posted it like a fool before work was done. We try to control it by put fake but now is too late -- THANKS FOR NOTHING GUYS!

This part is also lie, it was NOT EVER brought to public attention by knightsolidus: "knightsolidus stumbled upon this during his research and brought it to the public's attention."

He ask them to remove it from their page, they did not respect and post it more like basters!

Regard to SKFU, he is right in some parts.. I was excited of seeing new files, until I find they were only from debug like CJPC said already. Also, is true so far we only remove the HDD crypt so this not much help until file crypt is beaten.

All this is truth also of SKFU: You get a few sprx, rco and xml files, possible a few more types but those are useless unless you can remove the encryption of the file itself. But you can't yet. So the only thing you can do for example is getting the firmware part which is on the HDD. But these are only UNPACKED files, NOT DECRYPTED files. You may be able to replace several firmware files ye, so if replacing some text in the XMB or an icon is a custom firmware for you, have fun with the knowledge that this may brick your PS3 and is useless as hell.

Last, from now on knightsolidus work no more with them to stop such leakings from happen again.

NDT ;-)

Can't believe some people. I deal with idiots all day too - seems the world is full of them these days!

Anyway, personally i think this method might lead somewhere (maybe filesystem drivers or something), although i don't know too much about it.

I'd love to have my high power pc setup right now (would say normal, but not had it setup for ages!). I would dump the entire disk off in 4gb chunks then join it all together and run some scans on the data to see if i could find the toc etc.

Would also be very interesting to see what would happen if you did this for the entire disk, then wrote the results back to the disk. (Would it crash? i suspect so, but would be very interesting anyway!)

Anyway - interesting news, shame about the fools.

Demonpr*ck is clear evidence of that, even tho the world is full of lamers doesnt mean everyone is a lamer

Ahhh SH*T, if this leads onto anything which maybe it wont but you never though, it means your PS3 must be able to emu PS2 so I would be officially screwed. Infact I might sell my PS3 and find an older one now lol but I'll wait to see what happens first.

For the first - mostlikely, they don't have any extra encryption on them (aside from the disk encryption)

Quick formatting will not work, as the whole basis of that is to essentially erase the table of contents, although the data is still there, the table is blank - making it appear empty. But, since there is still data there (and not nothing, ie 00's), it makes it much harder to attempt to retrieve.

Although certain chunks of data can be decrypted with this method, its mostly the luck of the draw. Random encrypted data is being swapped around, with no table, no filesystem, basically shooting in the dark, which makes it nearly impossible to know what files you have, where they belong, or even their file names!

Now, assuming someone spent the time to decrypt the entire drive, find a filesystem, map it all out, it would be a step in the right direction, but that could take forever to accomplish.

However, with the exception of some assets, such as pictures and videos in certain areas (ie, photo/video, and some game data), everything on the hard disk drive (and the flash, too) is encrypted with yet another layer of encryption (namely, the SELF encryption). For example, take a game that was bought and installed via PSN. With the exception of the SFO, and PNG's, the SELF, and many packaged assets are all still encrypted!

Finally, any flash data stored on the HDD, is yet again, encrypted, so alas, no help there!
