Waninkoko Releases FwTool - Now with CoreOS support!

[8bitbubsy]

Do I smell first CFW tomorrow?

No, but I can smell your big hopes.
Give it some time, I'm pretty sure a good CFW will need a lot of time.

Trying to clear up confusion (and since I haven't verified everything personally someone might have to clear up afterwards as well, and I realize I'm not able to keep this both technical and noobfriendly at the same time. Sorry):

1. Geohot yesterday released a simple app, including a key, for decrypting PKGs. You'll find PKGs inside PUPs, and those we've already been able to unpack since before. Inside PKGs you'll find SELFs (and stuff) and those are encrypted as well, with a different key.
   
   We cannot decrypt SELFs, at least not this way. We can ask the PS3 to do it for us, some with DeLiGhT's app and some using graf_chokolo's payload
   
   
2. Waninkoko used Geohot's key to create an app that could both encrypt as well as decrypt PKGs. This does not change the fact that we cannot decrypt/encrypt SELFs though. It does mean we can take already encrypted/signed SELFs and make a new PKG with them mixed as we please.

When it comes to PUPs, I'm under the impression those don't need to be signed in recovery mode (that's why the PSjailbreak downgrade works)

(for those who like to reverse engineer it's said the PUP HMAC key can be found in vsh .. )

So. The key released yesterday is the symmetric key (AES) from inside lv2ldr?

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.

PS3 will going to get hotter and hotter with the CFW! Weeeeh!!!

I expect this console would get the attention as big as the PSP here in provinces of the philippines as its already completely and confortably hacked!

Trust me! I havent seen any PSP at school that was NEVER HACKED! Every unit never did run any commercial UMD Disc... hahaha... I tried borrowing a UMD from a friend but he said he didn't own one except for the bundled game...

ahahahaha

Oh well, this also means scarcity of the PS3 console here on the provinces

WOW thats realy a.....industry killer it seems that the Philippines are the "side effect" of homebrew by never run any of the commercial game

How is checking the MD5 going to help ? When an original PUP is modified, the MD5 changes ;-)

Only letting other people, a lot of other people, test it, is the safest....

sure, but it still helps to check whether your download is corrupted or not.

I just decrypted, then encrypted core_os_package, the re-encrypted one was 8192 bytes smaller than the original. So yeah, it needs work, but regardless the contribution is awesome, and very appreciated.

(Yeah I'm quoting myself ... )

This does not change the fact that we cannot decrypt/encrypt SELFs though. It does mean we can take already encrypted/signed SELFs and make a new PKG with them mixed as we please.

Come to think of it, there's no enforcement on SELFs having to be encrypted and signed, is there?

[RiPPERD]

so what needs to be done now is... decrypt both 3.41 and 3.55.... find the patch that stops us using jailbreak.... take it out of 3.55... encrypt it back again and we can now jailbreak on 3.55 with psn etc etc....

wheres all the clever people at lol

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!

At the moment you can only decrypt and then encrypt back.
You cannot sign anything yet.
However as stated before i believe he (you know who) had the aes key all along and it kinda makes me believe that he is some how connected to the PSJailbreak.
As with the PSJailbreak you can flash a pup in service mode so how did they modify their pup in the first place??
With the current tools you can do that now, however unless you know what you are doing you will end up with a RSOD.
So did he hold back to make a few bucks???
