PS3 hacked by iPhone dev?

ps3

 

 

Here's something interesting for the weekend. iPhone developer Geohot claims to have been finally able to hack the PS3.

 

Here's what the dev posted on his blog:

 

I have read/write access to the entire system memory, and HV level access to the processor. In other words, I have hacked the PS3. The rest is just software. And reversing. I have a lot of reversing ahead of me, as I now have dumps of LV0 and LV1. I've also dumped the NAND without removing it or a modchip.

 

Geohot further adds that even though he's not revealing the exploit yet, it's not patchable by Sony. Firmware updates could however make implementation harder. There's no mention of what firmware he's working with.

 

Geohot -- if it is the same one -- made his mark on the iPhone homebrew community with a baseband unlock for firmware 3.1. Without further proof I'll have to put this under rumor for now. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if this turns out to be the real deal.

 

 

Thanks to Adam West, James, Koolkatmedia, Ferre, and mansonfreak for the tips!

If you go to this guys page you can see the updates he's made over the months, and due to the fact he hacked the iphone no reason to think otherwise.

I wonder if we'll be able to run a version of Windows 7/Mac Snow Leopard on the PS3, I do hope so.

# RE: This is legitGuest 2010-01-24 21:02
No we won't. The PS3 can currently emulate windows thru Linux but is slow duo the lack of RAM.

# mmmGuest 2010-01-26 15:56
I don't think he necessarily means emulation.

A hacked ps3 means no more hypervisor for one thing, and may not even require the linux overhead part.

Any form of windows is probably impossible but Mac OS, with some versions being released for PowerPC architecture, could that be plausible?

Linux without a hypervisor sounds good to me though.

Linux without hypervisor would be the only hack I need.

I don't care about copied games, and even if I did I wouldn't waste my precious BD-R discs.

# Incompatible HardwareGuest 2010-01-26 15:13
OSX and Windows aren't made for the CELL processor. The best option would be to emulate the operating systems.

Hopefully this will lead onto a purely software based hack so we can easily make better use of the PS3 like with the PSP.

:sigh: Well... The ps3 games is like more than 10 times larger then the psp games. I dont wanna fill my 120gb hdd with like 2-3 games. And its too expensive to get a blueray burner and blueray discs to burn games.
And the prices of ps3 games are pretty low. So I think most people wont need to pirate anything. And homebrews could be pretty awesome on the ps3.
So yeah... The reason for hacking the psp could be Homebrews...

so it was few years ago when bluray come into the market.now 1 verbatim bd-r is 4\5 euros and a burner, well check for yourself... you buy 4 games and the deal is done.they made too much on the same system till now, and for those that argue at me "so you don't want people program anymore good games" hey stfu i own a 360 and they are programming on it even if there is faaaar more installed base with modchip\firmwar e and no bought games outta there so let's begin, i had no use for that 2TB hd for too much and my new 20mbit is alive and kickin! ;D

# pooooooGuest 2010-01-23 20:36
the actual games arnt like 10 times larger, if its truely properly hacked it would run stripped out games, like people on xbox 360 can do now, originally it was perfect 1-1 copies, but not 360 is hacked rather than just dvd drive you can easily get games that are like 3-4 gb rather than 7-8gb and thats not even taking into account videos can be stripped out to reduce size even more

The good thing is if we get this to work we can get cool apps (maybe a better web browser) And probably emulations such as N64, Gamecube, probably even the Wii on PS3 OMG! But what I DON'T like is if he releases/leaks the exploit and game hacks start up like what was seen in Socom 2. :cry: I miss that game when it was playable. And to the guy saying PS3 has no games that's a VERY old argument when it gets way more new exclusives now.

You're an idiot, I pirated maybe 3 games on the PSP and I don't even think I played them, I played SNES all the freaking TIME on my PSP. I beat ChronoTrigger and I got a bit into Mario RPG, plus Mario All Stars + World!

# Honestyhypercoyote360 2010-01-23 12:51
I don't pirate stuff. I modded my Wii so I could dump all my games to an external HD and not have to swap out discs all the time. I made WADS of the SNES & NES games I own to play on the Wii. Everything I have on there is legit.

PS3, I'd love to get that modded so I could play some of my PSX that I kept sealed on the PS3 w/ the update graphics. There are many legitimate uses for playing backups of discs.

Being a HUGE Playstation fan who hates MS's guts and if any other reason won't buy an Xbox simply over the fact that it's a MS product (See Faildows Vista/7) I can tell you that I had a PSP when they first came out and I waited 2 FREAKING YEARS for decent games and guess what. I got like 2 decent ones and sold the stupid thing to get a DS where I have a big list of cool games and I can actually homebrew it because the PSP was patched 99% of the time just to stop homebrew instead of improving the system.

PS3 games can still sell well. As far as PS3 Piracy goes it might just make the Devs step up a bit and make more lengthy higher quality games. You wouldn't pirate a game that took nearly your entire hard drive would you?

It's silly people saying "20GB" this and "50GB" that, just because it's the size of the Single/Dual-Layer BD doesn't mean the actual game is going to be that size, look on popular Torrent Search Engines and search for a PS3 game, you'll be lucky to find a handful barely over 15GB, some down as small as 3-4GB.

# I'm Yay and Nay about thisGuest 2010-01-24 10:25
Decent first party titles will take too big of a toll on the hard drive though. I did check and what you are looking at are old 3rd party/early stage games on torrents. Things such as killzone or MGS4 you wouldn't want to download.

Reply
 

 
# RE: RE: PS3 hacked by iPhone dev?Guest 2010-01-23 11:40
Umm, almost all the games on ps3 came out on 360 too, meaning 5-10 GB games. Besides, you probably have a weak connection if your complaining how long you have to wait just for 20GB.

Reply
 

 
+1 # HakatoXGuest 2010-01-23 16:24
right, cause those games on the 360 are heavily compressed in comparison to the Ps3.

# 20 gigs ain't badGuest 2010-01-23 23:12
I think the largest torrent I've ever downloaded was about 30 gigs. 20 gigs for a PS3 game isn't bad. But don't take me the wrong way- I don't even own a PS3. Just saying, 20 gigs isn't bad, especially on a health torrent. If you can wait a couple days, and aren't some cracked out 8 year old- pirating games would be easy.

I hope if this comes to fruition, the devs will be able to circumvent the hypervisor preventing the PS3 from using its graphics card under Linux. That'll open up a whole new level of possibilities, though I'm also hoping it won't open up people pirating PS3 games.

The Slim doesn't lack the hardware capability of running Linux. Sony just took out support for it because they didn't want to be spending double the money every firmware revision on producing secuirity updates for a feature most people never even touch.

If this is legit, a simple firmware hack could easily bring it back.

Also, as much as I'm hoping this is not true, if it is, I'd love to see a PCSX2 port make it to the surface.

Too many good things can come from opening up the PS3, hardly any one will want to pirate and download games since their too big for most. Old school emus, in game music, cross xmb chat, home brew enhancements the list goes on... MORE PS3's will sell once this happens.

Watch the reversal process take forever and slowly we forget about the hack.
Why the hell do people want to run stuff on the PS3? You got computers for that. A virtual pc on the ps3 isn't logical because it has almost no ram.

Go buy your games. Or get a 360

Reply
 

 
# I'm Yay and Nay about thisGuest 2010-01-24 10:30
But in that same context about the ram you can only run linux on it's architecture which is a lot more efficient than Windows and on that same note the RAM the PS3 does have is Faster than DDR3 making up for the limit.

Geohot released a software hack for the iphone/ipod touch. There was never any need for hardware changes. If the PS3 is in any aspect similar to its sister consoles, then the first exploit can be found through modchips. For now, I expect a long wait.

2 things... this isnt like the psp... i dont think it would be cool or fun to do this with the ps3 because we would loose a lot of the good game programmers just like what happened with the psp... and if you were going to burn them it would take forever per copy.. (700mb around 1.2hours) and you would be putting out more money so it would be better to just buy them legit or wait 2 years till they are at $19.99 usd. vs $200+ just for the burner and $60+ (10x)for a good pack of discs... :o

(700mb around 1.2hours) and you would be putting out more money so it would be better to just buy them legit or wait 2 years till they are at $19.99 usd. vs $200+ just for the burner and $60+ (10x)for a good pack of discs... :o


what the hell is wrong with you idiots.
the xbox has been hacked since day dot.
are good games released for xbox?
you people are robots.
no good games are released for PSP because of piracy.......BULLSH!T

There's a difference between the PSP and the XBox. A major one. Well two now I think about it.

First of all, the PSP is portable. Who ACTUALLY wants to carry around 10 UMDs when they go somewhere? At least the PSPGo is getting it right, but the ridiculous almost-PS3 price tag is putting many off. So yeah, I think it's safe to assume that many people pirate games because it's just so convenient. Like the difference between the old CD player Sony Walkman and an iPod.

Secondly, though, the PSP was also REALLY easy to hack, whereas the 360 is hardly newb friendly when it comes down to it.

For those bitching about the cost of the disc. They are around 6bucks on newegg so the price is not an issue. The size of 20gbs over the net is nothing. Either you live in backwater places with low internet connection, also tor's arn't the only way to get the files. A DC from IRC is alot faster from a good host.

As much as I am happy about this hack, I hope it never gets released. Because if it does, then a lot of people will probably be pirating games which in turns will make it even harder for dev teams to make money and come up with wonderful games like Uncharted 1 & 2.

You realise that the reason the PS3 can only run Linux is because of the processor right? The operating system needs to be compiled to run on the PS3 processor, which can be done in Linux because it's open source. How exactly do you intend to recompile Windows/Mac OSX to run on the PS3 if you don't have the source code?

# ok thenGuest 2010-01-23 16:51
To all of you wanting another OS besides Linux because of this, it's not going to happen. The Processor in the PS3 is not compatible with Windows.
And who knows, maybe if this gets released it will force Sony to release a free SDK for us and let us run our unsigned code legitimately instead of having to hack it. Sure we wouldn't be able to modify a lot of the things we can do with the ps3 (in-game music and stuff) but we'd at least have other homebrews. Sony could just release it and say "Here's this! We don't support what you make though!" and have some sort of license to say "what ever happens is the developer's fault not ours. If your ps3 eats itself then decides it wants to throw itself back up don't call us and complain." That way they can keep us from FULLY unlocking the ps3. It's easy for them to add extra security so we can't run "backups" or modify any part of the ps3 or even get kernel mode (if that exists on ps3?). Maybe have all unsigned code be put into some weird...unsigned code mode? with full 3d support though please. :D
While they're at it they'd make one for psp too. so we might see something good from this. My two-bits.

Seriously? I really hate the piracy kills consoles argument. It's dumb and untrue. The 360 is one of the most pirated systems available, yet they consistently have high sales. Why?

Maybe because Microsoft loves it. You can mod the system, they can then have a legitimate reason to ban it. You run right back out, buy a new one, but more Live subscriptions, buy more MSP, and help them out immensely. Do you think Microsoft gets holiday sells numbers from new owners? No, they save all of it up til November every year and go after everyone, right before Christmas shopping season. Imagine that. And they still some of the highest game sells.

Piracy may hurt the developer, but it is a blessing for console manufacturers.

-Most of us are basement dwelling no life etc. Our opinions about everything are ignored by normal? people, except for totally unimportant things, like games. We play a game then create considerable buzz, encouraging casuals to buy
-Alot of people would rather buy a console knowing they have the option to pirate. I always prefer buying original, why the hell not. But in alot of cases this is not possible, or practical.
-Increased console means userbase, no? They might just need to work a bit harder to get money from the poor basement dwellers

Part of me like others is happy that there is the ability to run homebrew.

I think this would be great as sony is excruciatingly slow and could never match the creativity and ingenuity on the same scale of the masses.

On the other hand though the word homebrew is always closely followed by piracy. Piracy is the only reason that the looks so negatively on the homebrew scene... it is a scourge.

In fact the only reason that it exists is due to the fact that homebrew developers etc. keep on creating applications that allow "back ups" to be made from the original game (recent not old retro roms that companies make no more profit from). This then leads to the abuse of the application in relation to its intended use.

maybe the decision not to create these apps will allow homebrewers to separate themselves from the pirates.

This is not about pirating games although it could be possible but very inneficient due to large game files.

I don't know what internet connection you have. I can download stuff at 5-8 MB/s and I live in a third world country (Romania). Most games have bellow 15 GB anyway and there could also be some kind of CSO format like the PSP. Also, external HDDs are pretty cheap now... 500 GB would probably suffice for 15-30 games. Don't know about USB 2.0 speed tho, but think running backups off an SSD drive ! No loading times !!! And you could protect your games by not having to mess around with them (read: legit backups NOT piracy).

I think I am going to run homebrew alot on my ps3 but not pirate games (I dont want to use up that much bandwidth :) but even though i can rip the games to make them smaller) I am probably gonna run linux to its fullest and wach movies on it (media server as well)

This is simply amazing, I highly doubt geohot would be lying about such a thing. This puts him up as probably the best there is out there in the homebrew community :lol:

# Linux emulatorsGuest 2010-01-24 19:16
Emulators are already Happening under the ps3, Just have a Phat ps3 and load up Linux and install a emulator that way, runs very well. Safe and easy if you know linux. Also comes with joypad support.

google "emulators ppc"

or

Of course having the XMB hacked is also a dream come true, but whose willing to hack it, not me. It would be to expensive for me to even think about it, Yet. Give it 3 years.

True, but if it's hacked we'll have access to the GPU from Linux so you will be able to emulate more complex systems with better graphics.

Running homebrew would be the only point of the hack. Also playing PSX games, and PS2 games from the internal memory. I think it may be legit, but I still do have my doubts.

# a couple thingsGuest 2010-01-25 02:35
1. Piracy will not kill the system. See 360 and Wii.
2. You will never be able to run Windows or Mac OS X on the PS3. They are closed source.
3. "Disagreeing" with this hack because of piracy is like disagreeing with knives because you can stab people with them.

I wonder, since you can transfer stuff from PS3 to PSP (go in this case) there's the possibility of transferring them ISOs and CSOs to them PSPgo. :D

PS2 Emu would be so fucking awesome...

SNES, GBA, and maybe DS emulators yay.

I love homebrew.

# Its RealGuest 2010-01-25 07:11
Ive been following george holtz for quite some time and I can say without a doubt it is legit. The kid has ego issues..but he does know his stuff. I am an Iphone owner and use his jailbreaks. If you google him you can find his twitter page. Just read all the back logs..

# i doubt itGuest 2010-01-25 07:17
i doubt backups from the HDD would be possible . many games install and read from HDD during game. then it also has to read some data from the DISK ISO. ps3 in many situations with intesive games reads from both sources at one time.. it might be possible i dunno... personelly i want an IR shell on ps3. o yeah

Just like the XBOX, they might get you and ban your online account! Let us hope not if anything happens with this.

# what is the point?Guest 2010-01-25 18:05
Basically I read most of these comments and laughed.. It would be great to play a n64 game on ps3? are you a idiot? Its a next gen console that costs £250+ and you want a emulator for it? lmao go buy a game for ps3 you poor poor people and if your that desperate for old games buy the old consoles instead of buying a 250 pound one retards.

-1 # lmao!!!Guest 2010-01-26 01:12
lol you idiot, playing with old consoles would mean using AV cables, so you would get real crap quality, with the ps3 you could play N64 games and make them look better than they ever had (although you can already do this with a computer + hdmi connection to an hdtv), but not everyone has an hdmi-capable PC, so this would offer a nice alternative. Not even Nintendo has released a way to play oldies at 720p, much less 1080p, as their crappy Wii console only reaches a max of 480p, which is just pathetic. With that said.. EMULATORS FTW!

+1 # iso practically or not?Guest 2010-01-25 23:03
First all of whether the hack is real or not is a question we will all have to wait and see.

Will the hack allow to run a burnt BD-R game disk? or maybe run ISO off a hard drive? Also I am not discussing the morality of whether it is right or wrong. I'm just discussing what is practical in either situation.

Some complain that neither option is practical. Maybe for some I can understand.

I believe to have a collection of ISO's on hard drive is very practical. A TB drive is not that expensive compared to the price of very few games. Yes many games are large in size. In other systems some games are "scrubbed" of content that is felt to be unneeded in order to reduce size. Even with very large game, I honestly could download them in a reasonable time with my 20 Mb connection a using Rapidshare account or Usenet. I live in a small city, but I know that many people in some areas I've seen have a 50 Mb connection or maybe more. Sometimes I can download a gigabyte in almost half an hour. Load it up, go to sleep and its ready.
