K_License Extractor Python Script Released

An anonymous developer has released a K_License Extractor for use on retail and debug PKGs. The k_license is a unique license string generated and embedded in PSN and other PKG files. The script will retrieve and display this k_license when ran. Please note the app is in the form of a python script and meant for experienced devs.

A doorway to pirating psn games/dlc

**moreno** · 04-08-2011,11:23 PM

are you sure?

remember that 3.60 games wouldn't be modified to run on today's CFWs... perhaps this PkGs open a way

From what I could gather (from asking smarter people), this will allow people to rip license strings from PS3 games, then you could find ways insert them in other things... so you could make pieces of homebrew work on newer PS3s by inserting the license string of, for example CoD: Blops (speculation on my part, as a user, and in NO WAY A DEVELOPER).

Like dlc and psn pkgs that require you to activate them on psn... Aka piracy
