I was talking to Choco of NGU on skype about black ops and hacking/modding it. From there I spawned a simple idea that may or may not be complex but seems simple in concept. Granted I am not very deep in the PS3 firmware or its inner-workings, but what I am about to propose to everyone is this.

We all know you can use a mod-chip with the PS3, use a dual-nand type system or any other hardware related hack. I am ALSO aware that people are able to dump the NAND if a PS3 with the proper hardware. So here is my thinking.


Step 1 is DUMP the NAND from a 4.11 PS3 from a hardware level.


Step 2 is alter the image data and replace the SSL Certificate 24/25 like we used to with the Chariles proxy hack with the demo one from Charlies proxy.


Step 3 is write the image data BACK to the nand and boot it up.


Step 4 is set up proxy settings and intercept the connection between the PS3 and PSN and get all that good info.


Step 5 is analyze it to get the passphrase and see what rhey have changed and see if there is any new security to handle.


Step 6 is optionally try to re-program 3.55 in a CFW to implement the new security if there is any.


I will say that I don’t know how complex this would really be but in concept it should not be hard. I hope I at-least gave everyone something to think about and possibly someone a new project


Comments ?

Well I posted this on my blog and I thought NGU might be interested.

highly doubt this would work, but worth a try

Keep in mind the biggest discoveries are overlooked because people believe it must be something complicated or true to work.
