January 29:

Graf_chokolo, famous for a multitude of decryption payloads, has warned Sony to back off. Earlier today, several sites were issued Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notices, ordering them to stop hosting several famous PS3 dev's projects. Sites such as GitHub complied with the order, and removed projects being worked on by coders Kakarotoks, Graf_Chokolo, and Kmeaw.

In response to these actions, Graf_Chokolo gave Sony an ultimatum earlier today, over on XorLoser's blog. He stated that if Sony was to continue such tactics, that he will publish his IDA database, for the PS3's Hypervisor and Hypervisor processes. What this means, is that reverse engineering the hypervisor would immediately become much easier for other developers using IDA Pro Disassembler. IDA Pro is a popular tool, commonly used in reverse engineering software.

If SONY will continue like this i will upload my IDA database for HV and HV procs


Today:
It seems Sony is not happy with the long process of using American civil courts to fight off the PS3 hackers, and have decided to step up the war game to the next level, and have now got the German police on their side to raid early this morning graf_chokolo's home and take all his computers!

So what does this mean for the PS3 hacking scene? Will Sony be able to succeed with their scare tactics or will this just make everything worse for them? How harmful is the newly leaked information for the PS3 security at this point?

The war of attrition continues!

Whether or not I admire him depends on why he's hacking.

If he's doing it to pirate games, I do not.  If he's doing it to restore lost features, then I do.

Is threatening Sony really such a smart thing to do? More importantly, is he going to make a rap video? I must know!

for every computer they get, they get tons of information how to stop future hacking. They are getting ALL the hacking tricks.

I have zero interest in anything this guy has to say unless it is in the style of rap. 

rumors and lies all over the internet

lol if they would ACTUALLY do it it would be all over the Media! hahaha c'mon stop hating

We really need a point system, so I can shower you with praise.

This news is NEARLY A MONTH OLD...

Since then Sony has got the german authorities to raid his home this morning.

...in other news, Sony are now recruiting anti-piracy SPIES!!!

Sony are really getting fucked up now, how anyone can support their disgraceful heavy handed almost communist approach is beyond me.

Still fanboys will be fanboys so we shall see :)

what ever happend to knocking? or ringing the bell? the kid probably lived in his mothers basement.... >_>
