Third Attack Being Planned Against Sony

Cnet is reporting that a THIRD attack against Sony is slated to take place this weekend. The hackers are currently in the planning phase of the attack and are claiming it is in retaliation for how poorly the original PSN breach was handled. This time around the hackers intend to publish any and all data that was retrieved from Sony's servers. Such information could include names, addresses, credit cards, and more. The most shocking revelation to come from this story is that the hacking group is claiming to still have access to certain aspects of Sony's network. If this proves to be true, it would be a horrendous blow to Sony.

A group of hackers says it is planning another wave of cyberattacks against Sony in retaliation for its handling of the PlayStation Network breach.



An observer of the Internet Relay Chat channel used by the hackers told CNET today that a third major attack is planned this weekend against Sony's Web site. The people involved plan to publicize all or some of the information they are able to copy from Sony's servers, which could include customer names, credit card numbers, and addresses, according to the source. The hackers claim they currently have access to some of Sony's servers.



Should the planned attack succeed, it would be the latest blow in a series of devastating security breaches of Sony's servers over the past month. The failure of Sony's server security has ignited investigations by the FBI, the Department of Justice, Congress, and the New York State Attorney General, a well as data security and privacy authorities in the U.K., Canada, and Taiwan.



Several weeks ago the hacker group known as Anonymous targeted several Sony Web sites, including Sony.com and SonyStyle.com, with a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack in retaliation for what its members saw as Sony's unfair legal action against hacker George Hotz. Two weeks ago Sony's PlayStation Network, along with its Qriocity service and Sony Online, were the target of an attack that exposed the personal information of more than 100 million Sony customers. Sony was forced to shut down PSN, Qriocity, and Sony Online, and is currently working to bring them back online after rebuilding the security of its servers.



Sony says it doesn't know who orchestrated what it's calling a "highly sophisticated, planned" attack, but it has dropped hints that the group Anonymous is involved. Kazuo Hirai, chairman of Sony Computer Entertainment, told a Congressional subcommittee in a letter yesterday that the intruders on its servers planted a file named "Anonymous" containing the statement "We are Legion," part of the group's tagline.



Anonymous issued a statement yesterday denying it was involved in the PSN breach. "While we are a distributed and decentralized group, our 'leadership' does not condone credit card theft," the statement said.



Now it seems the same group of hackers that was able to infiltrate the PSN servers is planning to hit back against Sony.



Sony did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

PS3 Dual Boot GameOS/Linux CFW Released

The PS3 dev scene has seemed a bit dead lately, but with this latest release, it's quite clear that development is still going on behind the scenes. Geoffrey Levand has brought back what Sony once took away, OtherOS. Today he has released a dual boot custom firmware, which allows booting of OtherOS or GameOS. However, it's a bit more than Sony's typical OtherOS.

(This video is via Graf_Chokolo's method but is similar to how booting Linux via CFW looks)

This time around OtherOS has full access to GameOS, access to HV SS services (Dispatcher Manager, LPAR 1, and much more. This CFW also allows downgrading without service mode, the ability to deactivate/activate HDD/VFLASH encryption, as well as other features. At the moment this method is recommended for more advanced users until more user friendly guides are released.

PS3 Dual Boot GameOS/Linux CFW

Note: Currently to start OtherOS. boot_otheros.pkg then reboot.pkg and that will load petitboot. Slim users (Version 1.0-r0) you must unload the slim usb drivers in order to boot.
Firmwares:

PS3 Dual Boot GameOS/Linux CFW 3.41 (md5 9b439b04c4c0b841ae50c3af18bb584d)
PS3 Dual Boot GameOS/Linux CFW 3.50 (md5 74b4291615ceb394e0d64078d775a93d)

All tools beep twice if they succeed !!!

Source code for all tools and patches is freely available. Create your own dual boot.
git.gitbrew.org/ps3/

Features:

• Into HV integrated OtherOS bootloader loader (compatible with OtherOS bootloader on 3.15)
• OtherOS bootloader is booted directly from HV, no GameOS is involved.
• Process of booting OtherOS bootloader loader is very similar to 3.15 method
• Booting Linux from HDD/USB/BD/Network
• Linux with GameOS rights
• Full access to all HV SS services (Dispatcher Manager) from GameOS or Linux
• Full access to all System Manager services
• Ability to create/modify/remove repository nodes in LPAR 1 (e.g. with ps3dm-utils or ps3hvc-utils).
  This ability gives you much power over the whole system because many layers of PS3 use repository nodes to exchange information.
• Enabled QA mode in Update Manager
• Downgrading without USB dongle or Service Mode
• Ability to deactivate/activate HDD/VFLASH encryption (e.g. with ps3stor-utils)
• Suuport for ps3-utils. You can flash new OtherOS bootloader from Linux e.g.

Notes:

• Tested 3.41 and 3.55 on PS3 Slim with Gentoo and Debian Squeeze but should work on PS3 Fat without problems
• Bug reports are welcome, send it please to geoffrey.levand@mail.ru

Work in progress:

• Creating OtherOS partitions directly on HDD (not VFLASH)
• Permanently disabling HDD/VFLASH encryption
• Mapping of HTAB with R/W permission
• SYSCON access from LPAR 2
• FreeBSD support

Installing OtherOS bootloader

• Tested ONLY on PS3 models with VFLASH
• During deleting of VFLASH regions GameOS will ask you to reinstall firmware, don't do it, just press PS3 button and continue
• I use petitboot as OtherOS bootloader. You could use a different one.
• The following order of steps is important
• Delete VFLASH region 6
• Delete VFLASH region 5
• Create VFLASH region 5
• Create VFLASH region 6
• Install OtherOS bootloader on VFLASH with "Install OtherOS"

Booting OtherOS bootloader

• Run "Boot OtherOS"
• Reboot GameOS with "Reboot"

Creating a VFLASH partition for Linux

Notes:

• Works ONLY on PS3 models with VFLASH
• Warning: All your HDD data will be lost, so make a backup
• I'm currently working on a solution for PS3 models with NAND flash
• Resize VFLASH (creates a 40GB free space on VFLASH, if you need more then feel free to recompile it)
• Reboot GameOS
• Create VFLASH region 7

Installing Linux with petitboot

Installing Gentoo GNU/Linux from a Unix/Linux System

Partitioning with fdisk

Notes:

• I used petitboot to install Debian and Gentoo on VFLASH
• I used fdisk to partition ps3vflashh
• Make sure you create a swap partition
• Creating a ready to use Linux distribution images is a work in progress

Booting Linux with petitboot

Notes:

• USB driver in petitboot has problems on PS3 Slim. The problem lies in Linux USB driver.
• Currently i'm trying to fix this problem in Linux kernel
• I temporarily use my boot_linux.sh script to boot a Linux installed on VFLASH from petitboot

Slim Liteon 0401 Drive Surfaces

While the scene steadily itches past the protections present in the Slim Liteon 0225 drive, Microsoft pushes a new Liteon drive version. Paintball9 from Xbox-Scene picked up a 4GB Slim unit manufactured last month to find a Liteon drive with the 0401 firmware flashed to it.
As you can see, the drive was manufactured in March 2011. Paintball9 reports that Jungleflasher does not see the drive at all.

<="" img=""> Canada
TEAM: FSHE
Lot: 1114X
MFR date 2011-04-01

Let's see where this one goes. If you want to help out somewhat, you can donate your drive to c4eva if it arrives as a 0401.

XODE: Another Xbox 360 Optical Drive Emulator Announced

Team WODE, the guys behind their Wii Optical Disc Drive Emulator has announced that they will enter the Xbox 360 scene with a brand new product called XODE. Like the x360key, XODE is an optical drive emulator that promises to be more featured packed at half the price. Take a look.
Team WODE made this announcement:

X360KEY is coming... ETA end of june...
we can only say this: "XBOX OPTICAL DRIVE EMULATOR aka XODE" is coming... For now we can not release specific information or images, which would benefit x360key...
after seeing the features and prices x360key we can say that:
1- Fortunately x360key follows the "old" approach of Wode... XODE instead introduces a new way of working really original... we will surprise you.
2- XODE will work on XBOX SLIM since its launch with a 100% support of AP25.
3-Half price then a X360KEY in production!!! thanks the new "original" concept of point 1...
We plan to release a first proof of working at middle/end of may with a nice video working on a X360 SLIM console... and a detailed review near the release of X360KEY... Production will be ready on JULY.
We advise all to wait before place BIG pre-orders from WIIKEY/X360KEY team, it is wise to don't risk too much... after not tell us that there were not warned...
PS: we found time also to update WODE platform, finally the WEB interface is almost ready, we plan to release this feature next week.
PPSS: official website of XODE is www.xodejukebox.com ;) soon online...

Let's see where Team WODE goes with this.

PrBoom - DOOM PS3 Port Released

RoboHobo, famous for his work on the Mednafen emulator, has released a port of the popular PC game Doom. His port is known as PrBoom and features saving, loading, music, and minimally tested netplay. The release arrives in very playable form but it isn't without it's own issues, which mainly relate to configuration.

Download for CFW: prboom 2.5.0 ps3 r1 cfw.zip (19.54 MB)
Download for 3.41 Dongle: prboom 2.5.0 ps3 r1 dongle.zip (19.54 MB)

Here is the first release of PrBoom for the playstation 3. I’ve pasted the readme below. This release isn’t without it’s issues, though they mostly rest in configuring. Game play should be quite smooth, most features you would expect are implemented (eg saving, loading, music, minimally tested netplay). Any comments on how you would like to see this improved are welcomed.

Unoffical AP2.5 Patches Are Not Live-Safe!

Recently, there has been several AP2.5 patches being released that were not obtained using the proper methods. As you may or may not know, these unofficial and otherwise unverified patches are not Live-safe. Although these patches can boot a game when its applied, they are detectable and can lead to a console ban. Ubergeek from Team-Xecuter explains the technical details behind these patches and why they are unsafe for Xbox Live users.

We have already commented on the fake AP25 patches but recently there has been some false claims by the makers that needs to be addressed.
They incorrectly claim that their patches are safer than C4EVA's. C4's patches are made with responses from an original disc which will always be safer than the fakes.
There have been several types of fake patches in a continued failed attempt to produce "safe" or "full stealth" patches as they put it. The fake patches are made from data in the dae.bin file and ISOs of an unverified origin.

1. The first version of these fake patches used hardcoded angles with blank response data.
Result: Unsafe for Live.
2. The second version continued to use hardcoded angles with added response data from ISOs of unknown origin.
Result: Still Unsafe for Live. The third version has an option to apply random jitter to the hardcoded angles using some software. Result: Still Unsafe for Live.

Each supposed "improvement" is fruitless because they are not obtaining responses from an original disc. Any future releases will never be safe as long as they are based on data sources other than the original disc.
A correct response can only be obtained with an original disc which is how C4EVA has always done it. A public method is in development which will allow you to extract the correct responses from original discs with a new 0800 FW.
These fake releases are made for you without any regard whatsoever for the safety of your consoles and XBL account. Every official fw of patch ever released is done so after extensive testing to be as sure as possible that they would function fully using the XBL network.
Do not ever trust an unofficial fw or an unofficial patch. These people do not use or understand the methods implemented by C4E and any counter claim they make now and in the future should not be believed in any way shape or form. remember - they DO NOT CARE about the safety of your console and XBL account - they only care to have their name in lights with some software release that is both dangerous and irresponsible to the Xbox firmware community.

If you need AP2.5 patches for any game, download the latest version of ABGX below.
