Flukes1: Tomorrow We Patch Peek/Poke Into Lv1

[The Central Scrutinizer]

It seems that efforts of Flukes1 patching of lv2 to add a working "peek and poke" to allow backups, has been partly blocked by an "anti-lv2-hacking" protection that seems to been recently added by Sony in their v3.55 firmware, so developers will have to find another way around these checks, and they are looking now at patching lv1 so end-users will be able to enjoy all the features that people are whining for like "backup managers", that they had so much enjoyed via the Jailbroken v3.41 systems using the lv2 patching Dongle payloads!

UPDATE: The info below is little wrong, Geohot had nothing to do with anti-lv2 checking, in fact it is SONY themselves that added more checks to make sure lv2 is not PATCHED starting with their new v3.55 firmware!

So all those flaming Geohot, they should not be, they should be flaming Sony!

Yesterday was a rollercoaster. First, we have been terribly shot with the release news of Flukes1 patching of lv2 with the peek/poke on the 3.55 CFW only to find out that the backups, peek poke in the patch are bugged with some issues. Some serious issues that is which they working for it last night with Dean of multiMAN fame.

Then, they found out about geohot’s anti lv2 patching which disrupted whatever they are doing on the lv2 of PS3 security. It is quite expected after what Geohot has mentioned about the lv2 all this time. Afterward, Mathieulh came to help to share some info about the PS3 security, then we had to bear a needless drama from him that makes him leaving without further help. Moment later, we heard about Hermes wanting to help. Nothing heard about that since then. In the end, Flukes1 ends the game unsuccessfully and promised to look on the lv1 next.

Well, what we can conclude from this is that, the previous patched PUP that is reportedly should be working with backups and the homebrews with peek poke syscalls are useless after all. So, i had to take a hard lesson from all of this and had to confirm myself if Flukes1 & Co. ever come up with the new PUP. Which they possibly should considering the situation they are facing. Let’s just hope that will be the final one.

< @geohot> if you have a good reason…
< @geohot> my anti lv2 patching isn’t just anti piracy
< @flukes1> 0×8000000000332980 -> 0x8000000000464d60 loaded as rw
< @flukes1> if thats enforced, it makes things more difficult
< +Mathieulh> so yeah the best sc to use are 200/201
< +Mathieulh> though I have to check if they didn’t somehow implement them in 3.55
< +Mathieulh> if you have him though, you could add some peek and poke hypercalls to lv1 while you are at it xD
< +Mathieulh> yes dev_usb000 would work but that’s just one restriction, now I am going to stop talking about it cause it’ll piss flukes1 otherwise
< +Mathieulh> and it’s not like it’s my chan (or many people talk in it right now xD)
< @flukes1> i’m not saying it to be a dick, just want to keep this channel focused on 1 thing at a time
< +Mathieulh> they wouldn’t want some lamer at sony to actually encrypt a lv2 with control flags allowing hackers like us to pwn it eh ? xD
< +BazGee> #1446598 - Pastie
< +Mathieulh> BazGee
< +Mathieulh> here is the whole thing
< +Mathieulh> #1446610 - Pastie
< @flukes1> shut the **** up please
< @flukes1> take the drama elsewhere
< +Mathieulh> he started it and he is pissing me off
< +Mathieulh> I am half hesitating to leave that chan already because he has voice on it
< +Mathieulh> well niak as long as this douchebag can speak here I am off that chan, later…
< @evilsperm> krosk Hermes wants to help flukes1, but he won’t get in on the chan. https://github.com/hermesEOL < - his web, he's asking to flukes1 to leave a comment
<@netkas> flukes1, there could be some help on peek/poke https://github.com/hermesEOL
< @flukes1> ive been getting spammed about hermes for the past hour
< @flukes1> its not lv1_shutdown_logical_partition
< @flukes1> we just need to figure out which one is causing the shutdown
< +ps3sx> flukes1 try to send me LV2 kernel i will add all jailbreak patch correctely and send you back the files
< +c0de90e7> flukes1: this maybe obvious but it cannot be comparing original self file data to the in mem
< @flukes1> well no
< @flukes1> it must compute the hash when the self is loaded
< @flukes1> it must hash itself on startup
< @flukes1> that or lv1 is responsible
< @flukes1> i think we should be looking at hvcalls
< @flukes1> we know any shutdown has to go through hv
< @flukes1> i am pretty sure that lv1_write_virtual_uart is whats causing the shutdown
< @flukes1> 16bd8 = hvsc instruction which causes shutdown
< @flukes1> time for sleep
< @flukes1> tomorrow we patch peek/poke into lv1

So geohot made lv2 unpatchable huh.

[DeadlyProX]

After all his "lv2 patching is seriously bad you will brick etc etc" he went and modded it and released it without telling anyone what exactly he modded in the lv2 or even mentioning anything at all, such a fag. He's just trying to lick Sony's ass by adding this to try and land him a job...

The way around it is to find how he removed "Install PKG" to ignore signing and add it ourselves. Then we skip his shitty lv2 check.

[robcrazee]

I believe if geohot actually came clean on what he did to lv2 then possibly lv1 hacking can be achieved but currently just looks like geohot is stepping backwards from all of this (Prob cos getting scared sony might go after him - not for a job either)

100% co-signed... The shit is so obvious he's looking to get hired but, people will still hug the shit out of his nuts. *smh*

Another affirmation, that gayhottie is not a hacker but rather a selfish guy who is horny about to get a job.

what is this shit? change a ofw with a limited "cfw" and telling, that i am the biggest dick arround? you are so a pissant hacker gayhot...

i whish there would be the old days when hacking was a sport and not one way to earn money.

[derspanier]

what a fag.....Geohot you suck

[Tiglet]

It's clear now, geohot tried to prevent them from doing peek/poke into lvl2 by implementing some sort of bs own security. Just trying to get a job at sony, how fking pathetic... if he's so skilled he should get a job easely somewhere else. What a loser... but I guess when he applied somewhere else, they saw a little scrony boy scared to talk to someone in real life and cuming in his pants when he saw a girl walking by.

And for mathieull he's just geohot's doggy. Everytime I see geohot say something mathieull jumps in like his slave obeying his boss. It's quite pathetic and sad... Also , he just releases shit AFTER everyone else. He's worth nothing to be honest and there are tons of more talented dev's out there, but they probably have other shit to do than sit behind their PC 24/7.

Hope this lvl1 shit brings something to the table. I don't get why noone else can make a CFW like geohot's one without the custom lvl2 security... if you look at his video you can clearly hear a fugly pimpled virgin nerd talking (this is only confirmed by looking at pictures of him)... so how hard can it be for someone with a little bit of understanding in these things.

Then what's the point in all of this then??? To play Nintendo games?
