Oficiali PS3 firmware 3.56 su rootkit'u

According to developer Mathieulh, the official PS3 firmware v3.56 is said to contain a rootkit which allow Sony to perform remote code execution upon connection to the PlayStation network. What this means is that Sony can scan for specific files on your PS3 console—such as custom firmwares and hombrew applications—and send a report back to the company. Whether this is legal or not is yet to be determined but be careful what you put on your PS3.

Mathieulh just posted about it on IRC.

 

Essentially Sony can now remotely execute code on the PS3 as soon as you connect. This can do whatever Sony wants it to do such as verifying system files or searching for homebrew. Sony can change the code and add new detection methods without any firmware updates and as the code executes remotely there is no reliable way to forge the replies.

 

Whilst it is possible to patch or remove this code from the firmware this will likely mean the end of playing CFW online (as PSN can just check before login that this is active) or at the very least mean it will be even easier for Sony to detect and ban users.

 

Judging from the fact that people can still connect using the proxy method it seems Sony hasn't activated any of this yet but the functions are there in the new firmware.

Jan 27 14:44:46 yummy

Jan 27 14:44:50 WAT

Jan 27 14:45:00 RFE built-in the fw!?

Jan 27 14:45:25 3.56 pretty much has a built in psn rootkit

Jan 27 14:45:30 dude, that's the only stuff i'd be afraid of

Jan 27 14:45:31 don't tell me I haven't warned you

Jan 27 14:45:43 psn rootkit ?

Jan 27 14:46:05 but if we could rip-off the fw that shit would be erased

Jan 27 14:46:20 that was the only thing stopped sony to _auto_ update your fw

Jan 27 14:46:22 noone it's not that simple

Jan 27 14:46:29 the server awaits a proper reply

Jan 27 14:46:34 and that reply isn't in the firmware

Puiki naujiena Nekonsole banins o tiesiog tavo ACC ir bus prarasta saskaita

Bet kai tu atsinaujini versija , tai tu sutinki su ju saligomis

Tu gali nesutikti ir nedaryti updeito, plius konsolei nieko nepadaro tik tavo saskaita panaikins is PSN

SONY žaidimų ir nepardavinėja.

Epikus, manęs absoliučiai nejaudina, kad tave tokios naujienos skatina pradėti ar plėtoti offtopic'ą. Kas liečia firmware, tai čia ką tu norėjai tuom pasakyt? Pasikurk temą kitur ir postringauk apie piratavimą, kas teisus pirataudamas, kas neteisus sekdamas vartotojus norėdamas užkirsti kelią piratavimui ir pan. Suprask, kad temos apie viską ir apie nieką PLM netoleruojamos ir kiek įmanoma valomos, kad liktų kuo mažiau offtopic'o.

nesupratau ka norejai pasakyti

o su kitom fw sony sugalvos dar ka nors kontroliuot. dabar pasakykit kokias teises cia musu jie pazedzia jei mes naudojames tik legaliais dalykais,kurioj cia vietoj mes kazka negalima naudotis savo konsole ?.. ai neleidzia pirataut..wou joo Sony tikrai pazeidzia teises neleisdamai vogti is saves.

Ar tu gali zaisti LEGALIAI su NUSIPIRKTAIS zaidimais online, neatnaujines PS3?

Ar "tavo" PS3 yra saugus ir niekas jame nesnipineja YPAC kai jis pajungtas internete?

Ar PSN'e gali prisiregistruoti SAVO salies (Lietuva), kurios esi pilietis, regione?

Kai i nors viena klausima atsakysi teigiamai, tada galesime pratesti pokalbi apie musu teises

gal kas girdejot kaip bus su tuo HDD keitimu ar ateity leis pasikeisti HDD ant OFW 3.56.
