Yeah, I saw that earlier today, and I'm very happily surprised... but I have this feeling that I'm not even fathoming what's really possible with this. All I can think of is an external hard drive without a 4GB filesize limit, but I'm sure there's more to it than just that.
Hey guys. Sorry to revive an old thread, but I just thought I would share some info. on this whole PS3 HDD Decryption thing. =)
For those who said that this was fake, maybe you spoke too soon. A tutorial on how to do this has been released.
NOTE: I took this from haxnetwork.net, so I take no credit. =)
Quote:The following method is a brief explanation on what to do (detailed tutorial will be available soon, though what is below should suffice).
1.) Make a dump of your PS3 HDD (connect to your PC via SATA)
2.) Plug HDD back to your PS3
3. Copy a large-dummy file to the HDD
4.) Unplug HDD from PS3, and plug it back into your PC
5.) Dump the HDD image again
6.) Compare the two dumps you know have, and locate the encrypted dummy data (use HxD or any hex editor to do this)
7.) Replace the encrypted dummy data with sections of the data you want to decrypt
8.) Place the HDD back into your PS3
9.) Copy dummy data from PS3 to external media (USB drive/flash drive)
10.) Inspect the dummy file on PC from USB stick/flash drive.
And there you have it. Let us know what your discoveries lead to, we already have interesting things popping up =)
This isn't a very detailed way on doing this, however, I think it is certainly enough information to rely on.
