This is a .pup viewer that will allow you to examine the contents of a .pup. to use it just click File>open and locate the .pup file you with to see the contents of.


first off we will use envy_astro's cfw as an example. I WILL NOT LINK HIS CFW BECAUSE ITS FAKE

envy released a 3.55 cfw that alleged it spoofed 3.60 with the new auth. alot of people installed and assumed that it was a 3.55 cfw with psn but without peek poke and syscalls. In actuality it was a 3.60 OFW with two files deleted and the version.txt changed


Here is a pic showing the contents of 3.60OFW and his fake cfw
You must login or register to view this content.

the contents can be found in the modules folder. as you can see there is a date within the file names, and they are according to the release date of the firmware. since 3.60 was released in march of 2011 we know that envy's cfw must be 3.60 OFW and not a 3.55 cfw because all of his dev files are 3.60 files.


SO if there is ever a release of a firmware that promises something by a not so known dev, the best option is to view what is in his .pup, it can allow you to see if his files are what he is saying they are. remember don't make your self a guinea pig.

I guess the people downloading fake CFW's without "investigating" if its legit deserve a brick. That way we get less leechers here asking for CFW's. There are like 6 or so hackers, who made a difference, working on it. If a CFW is released, check their twitters... How hard can it be.

well i wasn't psychic that he would do that, so now im informing people for next time, because this is what i did to it before installing and figured out it was just 3.60, then i made a thread about it and it made him get banned and his thread deleted, so they also deleted my thread because they thought it was usless because they removed him so threat avoided. so now i made this thread to inform people for next time. i only used his firmware now as an example.
