  • 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.

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