I phoned my bank and cancelled my credit card, all because of a poor thread title...
Nice, hopefully this can help development of a CFW past 3.55.
This might also lead to an increase in multiplayer cheating...
PSN and the security is untouched.
The only risk is you install a Homebrew app that possibly could get your CC info if that is even saved on your PS3.
That however is as unlikely as an iOS or Android app has of obtaining that data though.
You don't need new CFW to play online.Well, its seems to me someone with a CFW console running game hacks can play online. That can be a problem.
Would it be possible for Sony to have the pan servers run a check on the PS3 unit as its logging into PSN to make sure its legit? And just autoban accounts that are on cfw?
You don't need new CFW to play online.
You don't need CFW to have cheated stats in games.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sony finally starts banning people for going online with this stuff.
This is to be able to play games built/patched with newer firmware. Pretty much nothing else.I thought games would require higher firmware to play online, what exactly is the point of this crack then?
And you can certainly use exploits in games, but i'm talking about actual mods hacked into the game. Also if this allows access to PSN store i'm wondering what someone could do with that. Wonder if this will cause changes to the new PSN store.
Also, unless I am wrong, a simple update of the LV0 keys close this hole right up, and we are right back where we started with 3.55, after the keys were changed.
I believe that its impossible to change the lv0 keys. What is possible is to activate the lv0.2 which was introduced with the slim and was meant for an issue like this.
i wonder how many % of people who have a ps3 use a cfw.
i've read that since the new CFW can now be decrypted, they have access to the vita stuff they added.
people are able to rip the vita games/files off a ps3 now, and look through all the files on a PC.
So cfw ps3 can finally connect to psn. Wouldn't be surprised if Sony started banning them for going online.
woah, didn't think about that.
Still I thougth that teh encryption was on the vita so the ps3 is acting liek a PC, just providing space for the vita nothing else.
umm..link to the discussion?
http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=18097
not much intelligent discussion, but after all the CFW just came out.
but i wouldnt be surprised in the future, they'll learn how to grab the PS VITA files off a ps3, let you copy it to your ps3, then copy it to your vita. hacked ps3s, of course. hopefully this is not the case, tho, idk. they just need a hole to get into the vita.
who knows how much info they can get off the ps3, the "hub" of the vita.

That means that fat ps3s are still unhindered though. I don't know the status of lv0.2 though
So Slims on >3.55 firmware are SOL without a complicated downgrade while fats can be CFW'd regardless of firmware revision?
Speaking of the wololo article, I don't see it posted here on this thread, correct me if I'm wrong so here.

Much more indepth/detailed/etc than my take.
(edit) Reading this some more I'll drop a few more interesting points since it was brought up a few posts ago (for those that don't want to read the long article)
The only systems with lvl0.2 are the newer 3k models and super slims, any system that could have downgraded to 3.55 will work. Only the newer slims and super slims will be effected by lv0.2 and it looks like something that won't get a solution... but with the rest of the system ripped open, there could be hope for other user mode exploits.
(edit 2) Also I was mistaken on the chain of trust. bootldr and metldr come before lv0. Good to know. Either way it's still not changable in OLDER consoles (older slims and phats) but apparently IS on the lv0.2 enabled slims/super slims.
Unless I read that wrong - he dumped a Vita game from Vita to PS3, so that wouldn't say anything about encryption of downloaded-packages on PS3.KojiKnight said:Color me flabbergasted... Sony actually doesn't fully encrypt the files on the PS3...
I've been looking through it a bit as well, and it seems right now that 3.55 firmware is required to do any of these CFW flashes, and if you want to downgrade, you need an expensive flasher. This doesn't sound like a massive Sony checkmate to me, unless this is the beginning of what is possible.
So now with Vita games finally being dumped, I foresee two things:
1) Sony will disable some crucial Vita-PS3 functionality
2) #1 will be of little use, and widespread Vita game piracy will ensue
Quick, everybody panic, it's absolutely nothing!
Dumping a game doesn't do anything useful by itself. 3DS games have been dumped since the first 3-6 months of the system's release.
You still need a Vita exploit to be able to run these, and the only Vita exploits in the wild are all PSP related.
I understand that. But it certainly seems like an inevitability at this point.
Actually I misread your original post, I thought you were inferring this has some implication on download packages (which are encrypted differently).KojiKnight said:fafahlada: He shows dumping a PSN game he bought on Vita (in this case, Uncharted: GA) to PS3 and then dumping the files from his PS3.
blackops2 multi day 1 cheating? :/
Actually I misread your original post, I thought you were inferring this has some implication on download packages (which are encrypted differently).
Are the Vita->PC backups really encrypted though, or is it just packed in some non-standard container? When it comes to restoring backups - IIRC both devices phone home before you can copy(that's why content-manager requires internet access).
That's most likely a result of slow USB interface.it takes so long that it can only be being encrypted on the vita prior to the copy.
There isnt much need for a PS3 in this process. The PS3 just acts like a Content Manager as far as i know, which also excist for PC. The PC is a wide open platform and you can already view all the files there. No need to go through the PS3 first when you can do the exact same thing with Vita to PC directly.http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=18097
