Waninkoko Releases FwTool - Now with CoreOS support!

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Earlier today Waninkoko a long time scene developer and previously famous for his many Wii scene goodies has informed us that he has pushed to [notranslate]GIT[/notranslate] his new FwTool which can also ENCRYPT firmwares packages.

FwTool source code pushed. Based on 'depkg' by Geohot but with the ability to encrypt packages. Still needs some work.

I would write a better post with more info but it's Happy New Year and I out partying with no computer just my iPhone!

Enjoy encrypting your modded firmwares! BUT remember, we still need a signing way for the packages, before you see releases usable for the end-user, see this note by him:

Important Note: The encryption feature is not finished. It does all the encryption but the package headers (header, metadata...) are probably not filled with all the needed values (still need to guess what some stuff is for). I releases this source so devs can collaborate in this.

2011 will be the year of making the PS3 to live up to it's claim that It Does Everything!

This just in by Waninkoko, he has now added CoreOS pack/unpack support:

CoreOS Tool source pushed! Pack/Unpack CORE_OS_PACKAGE.pkg (decrypted). FwTool GIT repository URL has been changed. http://bit.ly/dX99bp

I have not attached any compiled versions yet, as this is changing tool and only useful to those that know how to compile anyway, but as users do so, I updated this post with them!

The code is pretty. Read, compile and execute.

Somewhat. It doesn't mean we can sign modified SELFs though.

If Geohot has had this key the whole time it would explain his 3.21OO PUP.
