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 ?

sad thing is wen your using a modded chip your not always getting the accurate nand dump but you cud dump the nor and wrk around that then get into the nand

Early PS3 versions had NANd but new versions since CECHH have had NOR. One console doesn't have both.

they do my slimline does because i have a switch that tricks my nor into think im bricked so it will show a black so i can get full control wen dumpin it or flashing it on my slim and i have done 2 nand dumps

That makes 0 sense. OLDER PS3's use a NAND flash memory to store firmware. NEWER PS3's including SLIMS use a NOR flash memory to store firmware...

And TBH I am glad NGU is liking this from what it seems, but I someone who had the equipment is needed. I found someone who MAY but they just ordered so they do not have it yet.

i got confused all this progskeet work gets 2 me but ive downgraded 3times

Bro you could have mentioned you had a flasher earlier. If you are willing to help contact me on skype. You can guess my username if you do not know it.
