PS3 nulaužimas

Huge news for everyone who owns a PS3. Celebrated hacker George Hotz, AKA geohot (who was instrumental in cracking the iPhone and who, just to make you feel really old, was born in 1989) made Sony wince yesterday by posting what he claims is the metldr key for the PlayStation 3 on his personal site. Accompanying this potentially Sony-shattering news was the following message:

 

props to fail0verflow for the asymmetric half no donate link, just use this info wisely

i do not condone piracy

 

(emphasis mine)

 

Smart kid to be sure, but it gets better:

 

if you want your next console to be secure, get in touch with me. any of you 3.

it’d be fun to be on the other side.

kam hackint kazka uz dyka,jei gali is to $$ darytis.

Earlier on it was reported that hackers had released the first custom PS3 firmware.

 

Tools from ‘KaKaRoTo’ allowed users to create their own firmware using Linux and some coding knowledge, but it didn’t appear to be that useful, with KaKaRoTo saying “this custom firmware is really meant for future homebrew installation”, and “will not allow piracy.”

 

The custom firmware does seem to have a side effect or two, though, with a post over on NeoGAF claiming that the user’s Trophies have gone and would not reappear, the save data has gone, along with the data utilities - ”Pretty much everything under the ‘Game’ category”.

 

Ouch.

custom fw = no more games on ps3.

Darosi neramu,iki ko viskas ritasi.. Jei tai taps prieinama kiekvienam?

tai ir cfw juk yra kaip ir. o kas is to.hackeriai nori tik del hamebrew,linux. tas idomu butu. aisku kiti nori pirataut,cia be to jau niekaip neapsieis. o SOny skelbia kad jie padarys kazka ir del sito dar. na nzn. hackeriai sako kad ne, nes teoriskai kaip ir negali. na vieni hackeriai rado kelia kaip isilauzt, kiti ras kaip tai pristabdyt gal, arba kokiu nauju reikalavimu is zaidimu paleidimo reikalaus ar dar ka nors. bus matyt.kas pirko tie ir pirks zaidimus.

Sony Fires Back At PlayStation 3 Hackers

After having the PlayStation 3 opened up to hacks, custom firmware and software piracy, Sony is firing back—legally—at the groups responsible for cracking the console wide open.

 

According to documents featured on the web sites of hacker George "geohot" Hotz and hacking group fail0verflow, Sony Computer Entertainment America is seeking a temporary restraining order against all involved in circumventing the PlayStation 3's "technological protection measures." The motion for that restraining order seeks to yank those circumvention devices offline—which seems to have been effective, at least on Hotz's and fail0verflow's now stripped bare web sites—and restrict the accused hackers of accessing the PS3.

 

The motion for the restraining order against the defendants argues that Hotz's rootkey release and other circumvention devices violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, knowingly opening up the PS3 to piracy.

 

Hotz is accused of gaining "financial benefit through his unlawful conduct" via his PayPal account. The motion names group fail0verflow as "Bushing," Hector Cantero, Sven Peter and "Segher," as well as numerous John Does.

 

The motion is also seeking impoundment of "computers, hard drives, CD-ROMs, DVDs, USB sticks and other media" that contain circumvention devices.

Sony Computer Entertainment America reps confirmed the filing of the temporary restraining order, but said the company does not comment on litigation.

But if you think that Sony can’t ban you if you play pirated games over PSN, think again. The amount of access Sony has to your machine is greater than you probably imagine. According to a Neogaf user , When you turn on your system, the console communicates with a set of Sony servers, and a log of applications run on the system is almost certainly transmitted. Which means, Sony can know what is running on your system. Also, Sony has the ability to completely disable your console if they wanted to do so, which means it will remain non-functional whether you’re online or offline.

 

So if Sony can’t fix the security issues by releasing patches, expect to see the ban hammer sooner than later.

taigi ne vaiku darzelis cia. kai bana kals tai jau visiska K.O.
