Glevland famous for improving on Linux things on the PS3, had previously published some info on how 'PS3 HDD Decryption' works, but this was only available to Linux guru's, but now thanks to the info released recently regarding the EID in CEX2DEX converts, scene developer 'naehrwert' along with the help of Glevand and @flat_z have published today a POC for PS3HDD decryption.
thx @flat_z and glevand: You must login or register to view this content. (ps3hdd decryption poc)
Remember this is only a POC, but with this and all the talk I see recently in the 'PS3DevWiki', we could soon see thanks to this hard-working 'scene' developers:
a easy way to swap PS3 HDD's and access them on PC, without all the 'locks' that Sony placed on it meaning:
modifying system files could be done without FTP / CFW

He means learn how to use linux. Linux is what is preferred used when decrypting the HDD of the PS3. However, you can do it on Windows (which is better anyway).
I can't figure out how to use naerhwert's source code to decrypt the ps3 hdd.
xxmcvapourxx said he had done it. He explained how but it was quite vague.
Amazing! This should get the CoD CL squeakers off of the Devs asses about releasing a CFW now. The scene is starting to level out into a nice groove. Can't wait!
Now the sqeakers are gonna be on their asses on how to do it :lol:

Can you make sense of Step 6 or 7 here?
I haven't bothered to download the source, no need, but I'd assume those are your missing pieces the keys and stuff. "Hack" your HDD basically means hook it up via sata cable. Use the source code to decrypt & encrypt. Once you understand the source code, you can easily make a GUI . Possibly sell it with giving credits to naerhwert.
