Forums - Sony Discussion - PS3 TIFF Exploit found: Hackers frothing at the mouth...

Dolla Dolla on 04 February 2008

http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=2800

Team ICE and SorroW have released a "overflow.tiff" exploit today which is confirmed working on PS3 firmwares up to 2.10 on BOTH PAL and NTSC consoles.

At the moment the TIFF file freezes the PS3 via "heap overflow" (not buffer overflow), but by knowing the "backend number and making the right calls" it is possible to inject a simple code."

This is mainly being released so other hacking teams can take a crack at it, and hopefully it can accomplish what all PS3 hackers have been patiently waiting for. (Team ICE could not get the full potential of this TiFF becuase they lacked the PS3 SDK)

You can NOT play and PSX/PS2/PS3 ISO's with this yet.

 

 

It has begun ...

I'm sorry I don't understand these hacking/modding things much but

Is this really a STEP AHEAD...or is it just another small step

Interesting ...

This could lead to a potential soft-mod, the running of unsigned code, and the use of the hard-drive to run 'back-ups' ...

Imagines a 120Gb hard drive filled with pirated game .iso's.


Is that "woo hoo" or a "boo hoo" and for who?

All hacks are taken with baby steps.

The next thing we might see pop up would be a Hello World app, the most famous "I hacked this awesome piece of hardware" application ever created.

Maybe this time around, Sony will be smart enough to include useful stuff in their security updates. (for some reason, hackers and modders don't want to just give all their hard work up just because Sony asked them to)

EDIT: I'm referring to PSP FW 1.51 and 1.52 if you didn't know



Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

Well this is terrible, they have already taken the wii and psp, since the ps3 is more hardcore than casual, this means software sales would die if they succeed. There own install base can actually kill them..

PS3: 22M

360: 25M

wii: 40M
