PS3 Dongle ID Key Generator

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Due to Graf_Chokolo releasing the USB Master Key yesterday on our forums, I knew it would not be long before someone wrote up a program to make your own Dongle ID keys. Very silly since having a dongle reply as something other then >AAAA will not gain you anything more then we already have been using, just the normal Factory/Service Mode!

Well Estx from PS3HAX Network seems to be the first to do so!

Well, the master key is out and about now so here’s a convenient little application to generate your dongle id keys.

Straight forward to use.

p3kg – Xtse / Linux only / (See below for the now added Windows build!)

Description
Generates a Dongle ID Key based on the Dongle ID provided.

Usage
./p3kg

Example
./p3kg 0xAABB

NOTE: must be 2 bytes (4 characters) and prefixed with 0x
I.e. 0x0AA will not work; 0x00AA will.

When I wrote this I hard-coded the revoke list on graf_chokolo’s wiki so credits to him and all of his hard work.

If you want source code, let me know – I’ll make a few changes – tidy it up and post it as well.

UPDATED: (Added Windows Build) - Uses .NET 2.0

Usage is very similar, except command is:

p3kgwn.exe 0xAAAB

Replacing 0xAAAB with whatever device ID you like.

NOTE: The p3kgwn.zip is for WINDOWS and p3kg.tar.gz is for LINUX!

UPDATE: for those that don't want to install a program, Waninkoko has done one up as a Web JavaScript -> Generator

thank you so much but compile a Windows build please not a linux user yet. tia

[peu]

what is this good for? It would be great to be able to jailbreak without powering off the ps3

[Kamse]

Thanks for this but i don't see the point if it ?!?

Check the rest of the first post, I added the Windows build already!

[Kamse]

I was gonna add it Gary ^^
p3kgwn.zip
Edit:
Gary you should state that the .zip version is for Windows and the gzip one for Linux.
Otherwise we'll have a lots of post regarding it.

Nope there is no point. -- But if didn't happen, some one would have done it.

But now cloners can produce their own weird dongle instead of being >AAAA they can have it being 0x3bad or >DEAD or >F0F0

The only thing is it might be useful if Sony revokes the >AAAA ID in a future firmware like v3.60, but then their is no point in going into factory/service mode on anything higher then v3.50 since we can't downgrade already, and factory/service mode does not offer anything else useful to the end-user.

hello,I hope everyone had a safe and happy hollidayz!
with that being said, can someone please hook a guy up with the proper files needed to succesfully downgrade from 3.5-3.41 for the usb
I havent had to downgrade ,but my nefew got a 3.5 for x-mas and Id like to help him out.I dont need a tut,just the files needed for USB.
if I understand correctly,I obviously cant back up the dev flash 2 or 3 on a 3.5
so how can I safely DG 3.5 without the loss of bd?
thanks in advance!!!
