PS3 Game Disc EBOOT.BIN Decrypted

Ah, ha! Potentially some good news concerning Sony’s PS3 console and evading their nasty security measures; I say potentially because it stems from those at ps3news… *Nods*

CJPC is reporting the successful decryption of a PS3 ELF file off an original retail game disc. This method removes both the disc and file layer of encryption on the EBOOT.BIN.

In addition, they also claim to have successfully downgraded a PlayStation 3 console without need for a flash dump backup, “…to downgrade your PS3 you first need a copy of the original firmware (made with Infectus). However our method does not need any flash backup, as it uses the PS3’s updates to downgrade for us.”

Although it’s certainly possible, no release has been made… Could this be it — the PS3 finally hacked? Will Sony survive another round? Who knows… Tune in again — anytime, same PS3 channel. Yeah, you know what’s up.

Fantabulosos hackers acaban de conseguir via dump el eboot.bin desencriptado de la PS3. Para los no muy entendidos, quiere decir que la seguridad de la consola de Sony esta muy cerca de ser demolida. El hack puede dar lugar a metodos de carga parecidos a los de la PSP.

Un exploit similar al de la PSP (image.tiff overflow) ha sido el causante del desaguisado. ¿Acaso Sony esta usando librerias vulnerables de PSP? ¿Acaso Sony nos vuelve a vender una consola y al igual que con PS2, cuando no se vende decide hacerla vulnerable?.

Esperemos una pronta enculada a la seguridad "intratable" de la consola de Sony.
