(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hopefully I can get some intellectual discussion here since I'm in a stagnant on what to do and what not to do since I've been partaking in other projects like this. First, I'd love to find documents that helped me, but then it wouldn't be very resourceful to any of you.

1::
Alright, since it doens't say which firmware the backup management was first implemented, I will go off of the firmware I first found it on and studied.
Well, where is this stored? There's 3 places this can be stored and each of them can be modified from input and output during any time in the procedure of restoring the file system. This also doesn't have any layer of encryption to it like backups, so the data can be transferred anywhere upon retrieval of the file.

2::
dev_HDD*
There isn't any access to editing these files without anything being signed from that point on.

3::
.BIN,.TAR,.SELF, and more are editable and resigned through the backup if anything is resigned. If you have an ELF, it updates it with the new encryption upon boot/restoration. The vsh.self can be edited through retrieving the backup since it can be corrupted at will. You have everything you need to create a PUP as well.

4::
Have at it. When questions are presented, I will give you all the help you need just like Unknown with all of us on Black Ops before Choco's tutorial. Please learn things on your own that you don't understand before anything. If you need anything that defines how to do things, ask in here. Otherwise, if you find drive access without decryption then just prepare for an update since I'll leak it.

Also, take exceptions to the PS3 HDD Studio... Nostalgia to those people who remember; feels bad if you don't know it.

Actually its not that its hard, just challenging. Thing is here is we really have NO ONE to help us but each other. Everyone so fat who has said "Looks hard" in this thread is a novice IMHO who is just browsing wanting a jailbreak of sorts for 4.11.

I am and am not suprised about the lack of security on this. Sony gets soo arrogrant they leave gaping holes in their process. it happens with every software company. Call of duty is the same was. they put security in obscurity. They encrypt files assuming we wont get them. Only then we just reprogram the whole damn game and get xp online ROFL.

So in the end, this sounds like a form of man-in-the-middle with the backup and with a lot of research and testing could be possible with the right people that have the right resources and technical skill.

I will say I for sure don't have the ability to go further as I am not experienced enough in this but I know I could if i was.

My other 2 cents is don't reply saying its hard. If you DON'T have anything to add to HELP, please just don't reply at all.

Thanks...

Peace Smile

So you mean that the system signs our files for us...? Just like black ops mods ?
So if we manage to inject a file (unsigned I assume ) it will encrypt/decrypt it for us so that we can use the file/files on 4.11 without the need of any Cfw or keys etc

Which adds on to my point, but it would be useful if you knew the keys and used the graphs Kakaroto posted awhile back to find them. The keys are simple, the time is just unbearable.

It's not hard at all :y: Do I want to release it and make it look like PS3 Black Ops? No. I know no one will know what to do since there's nothing to give to them like simple tutorials or learning something for one-time use. Also, I think the people who said "hard" in here were a flash mob lol. I'll keep reading.

They still own an exploit in their system to do the "million account credit card" exploit. Whomever owns their security division should get executed. Every software/hardware company puts out bug-filled products that they know are there just so they can say something like Xbox 720 or PS4 won't have a JTag/Jailbreak. Which they will. Everything is exploitable. You just have to determine on how hard it will be and how you can fix it. Like your SELF2ELF on your site. They could fix it, but don't have the mind to do it. I'll take 2 things from another thread I posted in.

System can sign it. Depending on whether you want to rip the keys or not. Also, Black Ops is just retarded as all fuck. All CoD games are broken now that we know the BIN file can encrypt the PRF files.
Also, you can't catch the PUP unless you want to do the work to get another rebug up and running so I can use it for newer firms. What pcfreak said on his first lines... I would love to have an assistant.

Please dont take it the wrong way when i said it looks hard, its not an insult to you but rather a statement to say this is beyond my level of expertise and i salute your knowledge and understanding of the subject. Im not waiting for a jailbreak lol im content with what is currently available but my hats off to you sir.

I was reading your thread and saw the other comments that kinda summed up what i was thinking lol it wasnt rehearsed just kinda jumped on the bandwagon

Spoken im willing to help and share stuff with you pcfreak30 looking at psn for 3.55 i have the files already i have already sniffed done alot of investigation on this and modded and the ssl cert's just having the time to put it into one program.if you have progskeet or anything or any knowledge what you doing even if your learning im down with that.Ps3 uses a company for there security something RSA i remember seeing it when i unpacked all the RCO and i used my works email to get the program when i go work tomorrow ill hunt down the email and give you the info also if you have 4.01 sdk if you look in ppu or spu the algorithm is in there (HINT)

I already know what to do, but this is just hard to read. It looks like you ramble about something with the progskeet...
Also, you don't need the SDK to figure anything out if you already know the keys to unSELF the files beforehand. All of this is basically mumble and such because it's hard to read what you said as well I'm seeing keywords that seem to be on ps3devwiki instead of anything... Not sure, but get back to me after work if you want. Depending on everything, I could work with you.
