PS3 Hacker Mathieulh Finds PlayStation 3 Firmware 3.56 Exploit

Today PS3 hacker Mathieulh reports finding a PlayStation 3 Firmware 3.56 exploit, although he states he has no plans to give any further details about it.

 

To quote from PSX-Scene (linked above): Well-known hacker Mathieu Hervais has reportedly found a bug that allows exploiting metldr, the bootloader and firmware version 3.56. Unfortunately, he refuses to release it.

So much for "unhackable" PS3s though... I am not giving any further details about it. Sorry.

PS3 re-secured with Firmware 3.60

 

A leading PlayStation 3 hacker says that today's firmware 3.60 update re-secures the system from hackers and by extension, should lock out piracy.

 

Youness Alaoui (hacker alias: KaKaRoToKS) knows what he's talking about. He developed PSFreedom - an open source Jailbreak alternative, and devised the PL3 payload for the USB dongles that attacked the PS3's security system on firmware 3.41 and lower.

 

According to his swift analysis of the new system update posted on his Twitter feed, Sony has come up with an ingenious method of side-stepping its existing security protocols:

 

"For now, it looks to me (at first glance) that the PS3 has been re-secured, but it doesn't mean it can't be broken again from scratch," he says, qualifying his findings by adding that he didn't spend more than a couple of minutes looking at the new update.

 

The PS3's existing security system is based on a "chain of trust" - different layers of the console are protected by individual levels of encryption, one opening up access to the next. This chain of trust was annihilated when Geohot revealed the "mtldr" key, the root decryption cipher that can unlock all of the others.

 

According to Alaoui's quick analysis, Sony simply doesn't use mtldr any more, opting for a new security system that could possibly require a completely new exploit to be uncovered - something hackers would be unlikely to take on bearing in mind the legal blitzkrieg Sony has unleashed in recent weeks.

 

"The epic fail was epic," Alaoui says. "It doesn't mean they can't come [up] with an epic save."

 

One of the console’s hacker tweeted:

 

Wow, in 3.60, Sony removed all the loaders, no more isoldr/lv1ldr/lv2ldr/appldr.. but they added lv0.2! Seems they found a way to secure ps3
