PS3 HDD Decrypted

Demonhades has claimed to have decypted the Playstation3 hard drive. To quote from his website (translated to English):
Well, to give more details: The key is 512 bytes it's a sha1-4096 (512bytes by sector) the key is xored To be clear it wasn't a simple xor how some are speculating... (we have already located a self) Still no mention if it can be reproduce on all PS3's or not Or even how to accomplish it


This is definitely interesting and very good news we will be keeping eyes on.

[VIA DemonHades.org]

UPDATE
: We have confirmation that this decryption was done on a RETAIL PS3 (not Test/Debug)

Pic from Demonhades.org

Translation:
As you can see, the route not only of redirection(like i said many times)
but also the certificates of authentication and validation along with the PS3 Game Key



Interesting

**Edit**
Just asked DemonHades and he said it was done on retail.

how do you know the decryption wasn't done with a test/debug ps3?
i wonder if they used a retail ps3 in otheros mode, or if they had the ps3 formatted hdd hooked up to a pc...???we will just just have to wait and see how this all unfolds...

now here is something im interested in, i believe some of the ps3's firmware is on the hdd, and if so can this decryption see those files, and possably edit them....

edit** i didnt see neos edit lol sorry

no problem. the sad part of this is that this will bring more questions than answers i think... still its giant step, being able to see whats inside the hdd is always good, maybe a similar methood can be used, so that the nand can be decrypted... it would be nice to have demonhades in here to clarify some stuff...

I wonder if this could allow me to pull service mode files off of my PS3. I heard the service mode jig may copy files to the HDD when it installs the testing FW, so it may be possible (since the HDD is unusable once the FW is installed) to pull files off of it now.
