  • Graf_Chokolo Exploits and Dumps Hypervisor From GameOS

    Graf_Chokolo continues to dominate the PS3's security, this time exploiting and dumping the hypervisor, all from within GameOS. He achieved this via 3.15 firmware, but intends to replicate it on 3.41 soon. Once finished, he plans to release all of the technical information to the public.

    I used memory glitching like Geohot to get dangling HTAB entry but 2nd and 3rd stages are quite different. I used my knowledge about HV internals and created a simpler exploit for stage2 and stage3.

    I didn’t use second VAS like Geohot. I used lv1_undocumented_function_114 and lv1_undocumented_function_115 to exploit HV after i got a dangling HTAB entry

    Now we don't need Linux to exploit and dump HV. Furthermore, HV dump from GameOS is a lot better because when GameOS is running more features are activated in HV So, i can reverse now more C++ objects and understand better how HV works

    I will make everything public very soon and i plan to dump HV 3.41 in the next days

    Happy New Year guys!
    Update: Graf_Chokolo was successful in dumping the real USB Dongle Master Key. It isn't very important anymore, but its good to finally see someone actually dump it, after all of the alleged claims.
    And now i dumped the real USB Dongle Master Key guys Noone needs it now but here it is. I tested it with HMAC SHA1 and dongle key 0xAAAA and got the same dongle key that was reversed by KaKaRoTo

    Just as i said previously, use USB Dongle Authenticator, then dump HV and the decrypted USB Dongle Master Key will be in HV dump I extracted this key from my HV dump after i used USB Dongle Authenticator on GameOS. Then i rebooted GameOS but not HV and the key was still in HV and still decrypted

    static u8 master_key[20] =
    {
    Code:

    46 DC EA D3 17 FE 45 D8 09 23 EB 97 E4 95 64 10 D4 CD B2 C2

    };

      The PS3 is ****ed... awesome I think this could also be done on 3.50 and 3.55 as well, as this would be more difficult to patch

      So with hyper-visor cut down, what else now stand in our way? im pretty sure the RSX has some protection, but Hyper-visor has been the biggest player since the beginning. Does that mean smooth sailing from here in?

      I'm craving my PSN access back, for actual legit reasons. Miss the social gaming i use to have with mates, where we would play for fun and just chat for an hour or so ...
