WIP: Dumping the PSDowngrade USB Traffic!

[JustRegisterMe]

Hansi a long-time valued member of PSX-SCENE has spent huge chunk of his personal money, in buying a very special USB Analyzer called the Beagle!

In his first day of playing around this new wonderful toy of his, he used it of course to make a dump of the normal PS3KEY boot-up and later on which is the main reason for all this fancy hardware the PSDowngrade

PSDowngrade / Ps3 jig USB traffic protocol scan

Hardware Used: Beagle USB 480 Protocol Analyzer Support - Total Phase

You need to use Beagle Data Center Software to be able to read the attached dumps.

One file is a normal PS3KEY boot, the other is a PSDowngrade boot.

The PSDowngrade is supposed to be encrypted and NOT analyzeable according to a distributor!

But maybe something can be learned anyway.

Have fun!

Hopefully some good things will come out of this in a few days by our many talented payload developers we have right here on PSX-SCENE!

Our many thanks to Hansi for spending his hard-earned cash on this project and helping out everyone!

they can't encrypt the usb traffic if they do that the ps3 can't understand.

WTG Hansi much appreciated now lets hope someone can make use of the info.

[carl97]

so this can lead to a public psdowngrade payload?

Holy crap, did I read that right, the USB analyzer cost $1200

[renanbianchi]

if the files are encrypted, then there's not much use for it =x

How could they encrypt the USB traffic? The PS3 wouldn't know how to decode it.
