Geohot's Lawyers Respond to Claims that he Possesses a PSN Account

Kakarotoks Interview http://www.mediafire.com/?t6dgqt244z79pdy

Attention!!!!!

Today, Sony announced it would make maintenance of the PSN network so the next wave ban is coming. There are no details what we could expect from the maintenance but I’m sure that it is done to prevent those who are using CFW (including me) from break into the PSN. This is because recently, there are buttloads of new methods to get anyone running CFW, either they are banned or not, to access the network. Expect a much better security in this one than last month’s massive maintenance.

Naima’s Releases Custom Firmware v3.55 PSN Play Ready

It’s not the first time we’ve seen him ‘leaving’ but this time around, the popular PS3 scene developer is quite serious about it, after telling everyone that he will not post on Elotrolado anymore, his favorite Spanish forum in which he amassed around 10 thousands of posts since 2002. Why he left?

Sales of consoles for the last month

February sales in the U.S. market are as follows:

1) Xbox 360 - 535.000 (Increace 27%)
  
2. Wii - 454.000 (Increace 14%) 

3. Playstation 3 - 403.000 ( Increace 12%)

The last month was the best month for the Xbox 360 since its release, apart from the months festive period when sales are expected huge.

The analysis says that the U.S. market helping the Xbox 360 so much that it is unlikely to be able to reach total sales of the Wii sometime in the future. Please note that the interest of the world is evident after Kinect 10,000,000 packages have gone from factory to store shelves since it was released.

Sales of the Wii in the U.S. for the month of February 2010 was 720,000.

On the other hand, Japan seems like a natural and, moreover, be an important ally of Sony in the "battle"with the Microsoft, after the past week sold a mere 2,000 Xbox 360.

Reasons Behind Sony’s Removal Of otherOS Feature

It seems that Sony has filled an Amendment Complain to fix the deficiencies found in the initial statement of the “Other OS removal” case.
In that Amended Complain, Sony filled information that should come as a shock to most clients.
Sony is now stating that the OtherOS was NOT removed due to security issues nor to protect intellectual property as stated before. It seems that the real reason behind the removal of the feature was in fact production costs.
It looks like Sony was investing too much money to keep both features working and thus they decided to cut out on the OtherOS costs.
As groklaw shows:

159. SCEA suggested initially that the removal of the “Other OS” function from the “fat” models in April 2010 was for security and intellectual property reasons.
160. On its website, SCEA wrote: Why did you delete the “Other OS” feature?
A. To protect the intellectual property of the content offered on the PS3 system as well as to provide a more secure system for those users who are enjoying games and other entertainment content on the PS3 system, we have decided to delete the feature to address security vulnerabilities of the system.
161. This statement is a fabrication. SCEA gave these reasons as a pretext so that it could attempt to argue that the Warranty, SSLA, and/or TOS allowed for the removal of the “Other OS” feature. In reality, SCEI and SCEA removed this feature because it was expensive to maintain (as they previously admitted when the feature was removed from the “slim” models – but which they conveniently removed from SCEA’s website); they were losing money on every PS3 unit sold (due to poor decisions in the planning and design of the Cell chip as noted above and given the PS3’s extra features); SCEA needed to promote and sell games to make their money back on the loss-leading PS3 consoles (and there was no profit in users utilizing the computer functions of the PS3); and IBM wanted to sell its expensive servers utilizing the Cell processor (users could cluster PS3s for the same purposes much less expensively).

There’s also some other rumors that it could’ve been IBM forcing the feature removal since building a cluster of PS3 was a lot cheaper than investing in IBM Blades servers.
But these are only rumors…
Focusing back on the facts and trying to make a timeline:
- Removal of OtherOS due to security reasons and intellectual property reasons;
- Sony hits geohot for opening up the system;
- Sony starts sueing people who focused all their work to get Linux back (graf_chokolo);
- Sony states that there were no security reasons and they just “stole” and advertised feature from their clients in order to make more profit;
It’s starting to look like Sony just did one huge mistake that will be used in the other ongoing lawsuits.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see how this turns out…

Package Manager 0.9 Released by Team Rebug

A new app popped up today by team Rebug, one of the few teams still pumping out new homebrew apps. The app is titled Package Manager 0.9 and it does exactly as the title implies, it manages your downloaded .pkg files on your PS3.

Download Links: Package_Manager_0.9_Installer.rar

Package Manager is a replacement for the standard ★ Install Package Files option under ‘Game’ in the XMB and allows for the install and deletion of .pkg files from ‘dev_hdd0/packages’, ‘dev_usb/packages’ and the standard ★ Install Package Files locations. In addition to this, your downloaded PSN content will appear under this menu instead of cluttering your ‘Game’ menu with uninstalled content.

INSTALLATION:
1: Download the ‘Package Manager 0.9 – Installer’ package and install it on your PS3.
2: Run ‘Package Manager 0.9 – Installer’ and choose your option. (Rebug and OFW/CFW have slightly different icons in their RCO’s. THIS IS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO OPTIONS BELOW)

For Official Icon Set:
Press CROSS to INSTALL Package Manager 0.9
Press CIRCLE to UNINSTALL Package Manager 0.9

For Rebug Icon Set:
Press SQUARE to INSTALL Package Manager 0.9
Press TRIANGLE to UNINSTALL Package Manager 0.9

The ‘dev_hdd0/packages’ folder is created automaticly when you choose one of the above install options but if you delete it you can use the below option to create it again.

Package Folder Creation:
Press START to CREATE the ‘dev_hdd0/packages’ folder

NOTE: ‘Package Manager 0.9 – Installer’ can be uninstalled once you have installed Package Manager.

PACKAGE MANAGER OPTIONS:
Navigate to ‘Game’ in your XMB and click on ★ Package Manager (It will be where ★ Install Package Files used to be). You will find three options.

★ PlayStation®Network Content
Manage your downloaded PlayStation®Network Content.

★ Install Package Files
INSTALL package files from Storage Devices and your PS3.

PS3™ Hard Disk – (dev_hdd0/packages)
Package Folder – (dev_usb/packages)
Standard Package Location – (Standard ★ Install Package Files locations)

NOTE: The ‘Install All Packages’ is only available by pressing the TRIANGLE button when the ‘Standard Package Location’ option is highlighted because the PS3 will only install ALL packages from the root of a storage device as of the moment.

★ Delete Package Files
DELETE package files from Storage Devices and your PS3.

PS3™ Hard Disk – (dev_hdd0/packages)
Package Folder – (dev_usb/packages)
Standard Package Location – (Standard ★ Install Package Files locations)

DELETING FILES:
1: Highlight the file you would like to delete and press TRIANGLE. The sidebar should appear.
2: Press CROSS on either Unlink or Unlink(Folder) (Both do the same thing for now).

NOTE: Any files that you have Unlinked WON’T disappear from the XMB until you exit the directory!!

TODO: The delete feature while 100% working still needs a little work on the appearance (icons need fixing etc..) and maybe have a look at implimenting a Storage Device<->PS3 copy feature.

Enjoy...

More Gits For PS3 Hacks, Homebrew Project

After Sony massive wipeout of several PS3 developers, hackers git at Github and Gitorious, we setup a git of ourselves for kmeaw and graf_chokolo at git.dukio.com. It was a good one, we have seen several projects been pushed to the git such as the bootOS, PS3 Linux kernel etc.
Now, new gits has been created for the sole purpose of expanding the scope of PS3 developers and hackers in the scene by sharing their stuff openly. First, there is git.gitbrew.org, the owner himself has said to me that no logs are kept of user access, IP, etc and no owner names are given out from their side. Then, we’ve seen Git-Hacks, another site with the name “Hacks” by Dashhacks Inc. which first was requested by KaKaRoToKS. It then attracts drizzt to the git who is popular with his Gaia Manager project, an open source backup Manager as well as fuckPsn (you know what it is).

Graf_Chokolo: I Have Never Stolen Any Information From SONY

Our man, graf_chokolo has write a very long post on grafchokolo.com comments section to respond with people’s misconception to what he has done in reverse engineering the PS3 console security. He also will give an interview about his SONY lawsuit later on.

I read some comments against me here, do not fear i do not intend to remove them i do not hold a grudge against you guys, we are free people and can speak freely. I will try to answer some of your questions.
I have never stolen any information from SONY, no documents and no software, all my work is based on the knowledge that i reversed on my own, i didn’t steal it, so i own it and can share it with anyone i want to and i chose to give it to the community for free. Stealing from SONY is not an option for me because of only one reason: reverse engineering and learning new things on my own is what motivates me to do what i’m doing. By stealing information from SONY i will loose my interest in it soon and give it up, too easy and no fun if you ask me By the way, reverse engineering and stealing is NOT the same guys. Just look at China e.g., what they achieved with reverse engineering already. It’s incredible Maybe i should go to China, they surely will have a use for me Soon they will replace all those big corporations like SONY if they didn’t already.
Many of you are defending SONY, using words like “be glad you are allowed to have a ps3″, just because i bought a PS3 from SONY doesn’t mean they own me and are allowed to say what i can and cannot do with my own PS3. SONY didn’t ask any of their PS3 customers when they removed Linux support if they agree with that or not. If you will continue to defend them then soon they will remove more features from PS3 and you will have to pay the same price for even fewer features.
All this reminds me of film “Matrix” when Morpheus is telling Neo something like that: “there are many individuals in the Matrix that will defend the system with all their strength although they are slaves of the system” Just a thought.
Soon i will give an interview about SONY’s lawsuit against me and you will see what bullshit they are suing me over and they want 1 million euros for that They just want to make an example of me, to stop me from giving you your rightful Linux on PS3 and more knowledge about PS3′s hypervisor which i disassembled. I think SONY should sue their own incompetent developers who created such an insecure system instead of making their system “secure” by suing every PS3 hacker in the world.
Just look what i did in the last month, installed Linux on HDD, implemented Linux drivers for HDD, FLASH, VFLASH and even coded firmware updater for Linux and i was working on BD drive for Linux. There is no need for GameOS anymore because we can do everything what GameOS can do also on Linux

Asked about whether 3.60+ firmwares are hackable, here’s what he said.

I didn’t have time to look at it, busy with PS3 Linux.
failed0verflow made a mistake by saying that PS3 will never be secure again. And SONY proved them wrong. SONY knows a lot more about their system than any PS3 hackers. But on the other side, everything that was created/developed by humans can be broken/hacked by other humans Never say never guys

Huge thanks guys to you all. Working from my home now Got access to the Internet.

UPDATE: A correction for above, graf_chokolo did not use the donation money to buy any computer. He personally told me that he borrowed the computer from a friend, it’s old and slow, he said. So, i hope i clear the confusion over it.
Alright, that’s wrap up our daily graf_chokolo update To really get the latest update, just visit our site below that is created specially for him.

Η Apple επιστρέφει $100 σε όσους αγόρασαν πρόσφατα το iPad!

Προβαίνοντας σε μια ασυνήθιστη κίνηση, η Apple ανακοίνωσε ότι θα κάνει επιστροφή του ποσού της τάξης των 100€ σε όσους αγόρασαν πρόσφατα το iPad, λόγω της παρουσίασης του διαδόχου του iPad 2.

Συγκεκριμένα, η επιστροφή χρημάτων ισχύει για όλους όσους αγόρασαν το διάσημο Tablet έως και 15 ημέρες πριν την επίσημη ανακοίνωση του iPad 2.

Δεν έχουμε επίσημη ανακοίνωση από την αντιπροσωπεία της Apple στην Ελλάδα, αλλά ευελπιστούμε ότι η προσφορά θα εφαρμοστεί κανονικά και στη χώρα μας.

Να σημειώσουμε βεβαίως, ότι σύμφωνα με την πολιτική επιστροφής χρημάτων της Apple για τις συσκευές της, όσοι προμηθεύτηκαν το iPad τις τελευταίες 14 ημέρες έχουν το δικαίωμα να επιστρέψουν την συσκευή και να τους επιστραφεί το πλήρες ποσό.

Λοιπόν,όποιος έχει online ID στο PS3 του ας το γράψει εδώ για να φτιάξουμε μια ομάδα PS3HACKERING στο Playstation network. Εμένα είναι swepierro.

Έρχεται το Modern Warfare 3;

Φαίνεται πως σε λίγες μέρες θα έχουμε πληροφορίες για το επερχόμενο Modern Warfare 3.

Σύμφωνα με εικασίες το νέο Modern Warfare 3 θα ανακοινωθεί σε περίπου 5 μέρες. Αυτή η είδηση έρχεται από το site findmakarov.com. Εκεί το μόνο που θα δείτε - αν δείτε κάτι γιατί εμένα δε μου ανοίγει τη σελίδα – είναι μία περιοχή που έχει countdown η οποία λίγει σε περίπου 5 μέρες όπως προαναφέραμε και διαθέτει την παραδοσιακή γραμματοσειρά του Modern Warfare!

Ελπίζουμε μόνο τα φαινόμενα να μην απατούν και σύντομα να μάθουμε νέες εξελίξεις για το Modern Warfare.

iPlay,ο ανταγωνιστής του NGP και του 3DS απο την Apple;

Αυτό τον καιρό ακούγονται πολλά καλά νέα τόσο για την διασκέδαση μας με το NGP να χει ανακοινωθεί, το 3DS να βγαινει σε 4μιση βδομάδες όσο και για την τσέπη μας με φήμες που θέλουν την Sony να κατεβάζει PS3 σε 199 € με ότι αυτό ακολουθεί στις σταθερές και στις φορητές παιχνιδομηχανές.
Μια νέα φήμη όμως, ιδιαίτερα απρόσμενη αλλά ευχάριστη και καλοδεχούμενη, έχει αρχίσει να μεταδίδεται στο διαδύκτιο. Η φήμη αυτή θέλει την Apple, την γνωστή εταιρία που βρίσκεται πίσω από τα επιτυχημένα iPαd, iPhone & iPod, να δημιουργεί μία νέα παιχνιδομηχανή! Δυστυχώς δεν υπάρχουν πολλές πληροφορίες πάνω στην επερχόμενη παιχνιδομηχανή, παρά μόνο ότι έχει μια 3D οθόνη 6 ιντσών της SHARP ..

Για περισσότερες πληροφορίες θα χρειαστεί να περιμένουμε και ίσως κάτι να δούμε στην επίσημη παρουσίαση μαζί με το πολυαναμενόμενο iPad2!

• PS3) Added waterpaint-normalcontrast.cg, waterpaint-normalcontrast-scanline.cg, waterpaint-highcontrast.cg, waterpaint-highcontrast-scanline.cg shaders.
• (PS3) Optimized crt.cg shader – now runs at 60fps (fullspeed) at 1080p (1920×1080). Also added crt-highgamma.cg.
• (PS3) Texture references used – far faster graphics code as a result. Also adapted refreshwithalpha so that it
  looks the same as it did before without texture references.
• (PS3) Added all the shaders added inbetween r423 and the custom versions
• (PS3) Replaced inlineASM in burnint.h with intrinsic so that it can be compiled with SNC. Also commented out
  little endian functions in blargg_endian.h to get SNC to work.
• (PS3) Commented out all exceptions and try – catch blocks in files such as ticpp.cpp and others – SNC by default
  works with exception support disabled – also exceptions have performance overhead – commenting out the exceptions
  and the try-catch blocks for both GCC and SNC increased performance.
• (PS3) Got rid of virtual function call overhead in classes that inherited from a base class with virtual function
  definitions – such as the Cellframework Audio driver, and FBA’s aud_audio.h itself. Led to measurable performance
  increases and lag reduction.
• (PS3) Better button responsiveness – in PS3/run.cpp, for some reason button input was only being registered one
  out of every three frames – commented that out. There were tons of other branches in the interface code that are
  unnecessary – checking for bDrivOkay for instance in video_interface and vid_psgl – that were commented out for
  PS3. This could similary be applied to FBA 360 for some performance gains – same with the elimination of virtual
  function call overhead.
• (PS3) Menu scrolling with the D-pad/analog stick in the ROM browser/settings menu/ingame menu by pressing and
  holding directional keys.
• (PS3) Shaders now receive three additional input params for the main vertex program (main_vertex). This
  allows us to offload some more calculations from the fragment shader which leads to increased performance.
• (PS3) Added back ability to go to Service menu by pressing R3 button.
• (Core) – Rygar driver colors are restored again to normal colors – during the update to FBA beta, a swapword
  statement was left out.
• (PS3) Makefile works now for either SNC or GCC. Change CELL_BUILD_TOOLS to set either of the two. The best
  speed I currently get with GCC for some odd reason.
• (PS3) Makefile and preprocessor statements in the code now let you compile the source and have it detect
  your SDK version automatically.
• (PS3) There is a special debug mode you can activate (CELL_DEBUG_CONSOLE = 1) where a Telnet server will
  be running in the background which you can telnet into – in this mode, you can track variables and/or dump
  screenshots on the HDD.
• (PS3) Better speed, far less lag as a result of all of the above.
  PS. Every change above only affects the PS3 version.

O Xcellerator έδωσε στη δημοσιότητα κάποιες πληροφορίες σχετικά με το πώς θα μπορούσε κάποιος να περάσει DLC στην κονσόλα του χωρίς να μπεί στο PSN.Όταν πληρώνει κάποιος και κατεβάζει ένα πακέτο από το psn τότε στο PS3 δημιουργείτε ένα αρχείο RIF στο φάκελο /dev_hdd0/home/xxxxxxxx/*.rif
κι ένα αρχείο act.dat στο φάκελο/dev_hdd0/home/xxxxxxxx/exdata/act.dat. Το αρχείο RIF περιέχει content id,expiration date PSN user information,ημερομηνία και ώρα αγοράς ενώ στο αρχείο act.dat έχουμε πληροφορίες για PSN user,PSN user tag και PSN user information.To PS3 επιτρέπει να τρέχουν DRM Protected files μόνο άν το αρχείο Rif συμπίπτει με το αρχείο act.dat. O χάκερ δουλεύει πάνω σ ένα πρόγραμμα το οποίο θα τρέχει DLC πακέτα χωρίς να ελέγχει καθόλου το Rif αρχείο κι εμείς περιμένουμε με αγωνία τ αποτελέσματα των προσπαθειών του.

O Μathieulh βρήκε exploit στο 3.56 firmware

Ο γνωστός σε όλους χάκερ Mathieulh ανακοίνωσε σήμερα οτι βρήκε ένα exploit στο 3.56 firmware και μπορεί κάποιος πολύ εύκολα να φτιάξει 3.56 custom firmware αρκεί βέβαια να ξέρει που να ψάξει και πώς να το κάνει.Δήλωσε μάλιστα πώς η 3.55 με την 3.56 δέν έχουν σχεδόν καμία βασική διαφορά.Ο ίδιος πάντως δεν πρόκειται να ασχοληθεί γιατί τον πιέζει αρκετά η Sony και έχει παράλληλα και προσωπική ζωή.Ολόκληρη η δήλωση του παρακάτω

Σας έχουμε ενημερώσει για τις πολώσεις των κονσόλων, αλλά αυτή τη φορά έχουμε επίσημη ανακοίνωση από τη Sony.

Η Sony ανακοίνωσε πως έχει πουλήσει 41.6 εκατομμύρια PS3 συνολικά. Παρατηρήσατε πως οι αριθμοί αυτοί αναφέρονται στις κονσόλες που έχουν πουληθεί και όχι που έχουν αποσταλεί. Αυτό σημαίνει πως το Xbox πρωτοπορεί έναντι του PS3 για 10 εκατομμύρια παραπάνω.

Επίσης λίγο παλαιότερα είχαν ανακοινωθεί και οι λογαριασμοί PSN που είναι ενεργοί αυτή τη στιγμή. Σύμφωνα πάλι με επίσημη ανακοίνωση, αυτή τη στιγμή υπάρχουν περίπου 70 εκατομμύρια λογαριασμοί χρηστών στο PSN, και 41 εκατομμύρια PS3 στα σπίτια των κατόχων. Άρα σχεδόν κάθε κάτοχος PS3 έχει δύο λογαριασμούς στο PSN. Λογικό ακούγετε!
