PS3 HDD Decryption released by 'naehrwert'

[GaryOPA]

Glevland famous for improving on Linux things on the PS3, had previously published some info on how 'PS3 HDD Decryption' works, but this was only available to Linux guru's, but now thanks to the info released recently regarding the EID in CEX2DEX converts, scene developer 'naehrwert' along with the help of Glevand and @flat_z have published today a POC for PS3HDD decryption.

thx @flat_z and glevand: http://www.sendspace.com/file/t0di2z - ps3hdd decryption poc

Remember this is only a POC, but with this and all the talk I see recently in the 'PS3DevWiki', we could soon see thanks to this hard-working 'scene' developers, a easy way to swap PS3 HDD's and access them on PC, without all the 'locks' that Sony placed on it.

Has everyone forgot about graf_chokolo's work already?

[r0ckf3l3r]

Of course not. I don't think one thing relates to the other on that level.

acab saying that glevand is a legend doesn't, in any way, diminish graf's excellent work. Or did I get you wrong, Vriska?

[traube]

Very awesome indeed.

I didn't mean it like that, I was just saying that something similar to this has been possible for a while, though a lot of graf_chokolo's work is often brushed over once new news is released, so I posted to remind people.
