A team known as blackb0x has released a LV2 Memory Dumper for the PS3, which allows us to take a look at the LV2 kernel (GameOS). What does this mean? Well hackers and devs can now explore even MORE of the PS3 than before, including new ways to crack the PS3 security (hello FW 3.42?). The file below works with PSGroove v1.1 only (not v1.0).

To quote via readme:

This application will dump all accessible LV2 memory on a jailbroken retail PS3.

To run this app, place lv2dump_07a.pkg on a usb memory stick. Install the pkg. Then run LV2Dump from the XMB. It should run for approximately 20-30 seconds, then it will exit back to the XMB. There will now be a file named LV2.BIN in the folder /dev_hdd0/game/

You can access your dump by copying the file out with your own code, or the FTP application.

Before attempting another dump, delete the LV2.BIN that is in /dev_hdd0/game/ as the next dump will append to the file if it exists.

The dump is right around 8MB ? which will let you take a look at the PS3?s kernel.

Expect more tools from us in the future for the PS3.

[calnorak]

that is cool, I want to thank that team though they probably aren't reading this :P
I already duped my firmware, now I need to figure out what to do with it :P

Im guessing for us android users, we will have to wait until the developer upgrades the code to 1.1 for us to do the memory dump?

Still, this is awesome. Keep up the good work = D

Heh it really does. Oh how I loved those days. Honestly though, I think I am more excited for these releases because I am looking forward to getting Linux back onto my system or heck if they can get Blueray region unlock I wont need that. I can go back to watching my foreign movies :aetsch:

If I remember correctly, PSGroove 1.1 only gives read access to LV2. So cant inject it yet, but if you could. I would imagine that would lead to a CFW or even better, a downgrade system for those who are on 3.42. Technically LV2 is only the GameOS data, so this is more of a learning phase than anything.
