Graf’s still goin’ hard… Continuing on his PS3 hacking effort, graf_chokolo, despite being PS3-less and his ongoing legal battle with Sony, has figured out a means of permanently enabling/disabling the PS3 HDD encryption while operating under Linux. He has committed those tools to his git repository over at dukio, and I quote verbatim:
Guys, take a look at “ps3dm_sm set_del_def_encdec_key” command. You can disable/enable virtual FLASH/internal HDD encryption with that And by patching HV process 9 (which sets ATA keys before loading GameOS) you can disable it permanently. It means you could swap your internal HDD and use it on another PS3. But you have to restore the content on it after disabling encryption because all data will be encrypted of course.
Soon i will implement ENCDEC device driver for PS3 Linux and you will be able to experiment with ATA encryption. ENCDEC device is responsible for VFLASH/HDD encryption on PS3.
For more details, see my HV page here:

And thanks to PS3 Linux fans who help me to test my ps3dm-utils Huge thanks to you guys. I can have fun with PS3 even without having one actually
And thanks to Dukio for his support with this blog and GIT repository.
