Demo PS3Xploit Tools v3.0 - for SuperSlim New Features & all non-cfw and Resigner Code

Demonstration video is available of PS3Xploit Tools v3.0

Tested on CECHE01 w/ OFW 4.821. Verifying the firmware is the latest OFW,
2. Downloading a demo PS3 game from PSN
3. Running the original
4. Enabling IPF [install Package Files]
5. Verifying the mod content cannot be installed
6. HAXing it to allow custom PKG
7. Installing the custom mod
8. Running the modded content.

What will this future exploit provide?

"Install PKG Files" unlocked on XMB (Retail / Debug PKGs,) *No PS3 Homebrew Support
PS1 Emulator Support
PS2 Emulator Support
PSP Emulator Support
PS3 Backup Support (Convert your PS3 Game to Digital PKG - npdrm* (requires game update for disc game backups to work))
New Resigning Tools

What you need to know about the legacy PlayStation emulators?

PS1 emulation is very good on the PS3, most games will play fine
Ps2 emulation is hit and miss on the PS3 (slightly more then half PS2 titles will work fine)
PSP emulation is roughly about a 40% success rate for the PS3
PS3 Backups - Require a Game Update

Here was a short interview with one of the devs of PS3Xploit Team (@bguerville)

What type of exploit is this project based on?

The project is relying on userland exploitation only.

What's the word on Homebrew (HEN) for NoN-CFW Compatible Models?

Given the results of our research so far, we do not think that we can solve the PS3 homebrew hurdle from userland (unless we find some unexpected vulnerability, chances of that are ultra slim though!). It's clear that s#ny"s implementation makes running homebrew difficult without defeating lv2 whereas they have been careless with various other aspects such as npdrm handling....

Do you see any more possibilities in Userland exploitation?

There is actually so much more that could be done from userland in my opinion. More potential features could be potentially added...

Future Plans on this exploit?

I don't think we will be the ones developing the technique further & adding features. It will be up to the community devs to do it... This project will actually be provided as a base for the community, it gives users some basic features that have been denied to them on non-cfw compatibles thus far but more importantly imho it provides devs with methods they can replicate to offer new features for those consoles. We are hoping devs will update their existing tools to support ofw & maybe improve the project we are to release soon.
We will not be offering technical support on this project (except for interested Devs). We hope the community will take care of it.
The new ROP framework functions I wrote these past weeks basically take care of all the javascript implementation of the rop chains, no complicated unescape strings & juggling with long hex chains anymore, all that stuff is now generated automatically in the background. It makes using ROP extremely easy in practice BUT... devs will still need to use IDA & reverse vsh or modules in order to find patches & implement new features. ppc seems daunting but like I said before any decent C/C++ dev could learn enough to get their first patches done if they just spent a couple of weeks working with IDA, ProDG & the pett tutorial.. We would make ourselves available to help as well.

Will user's be able to create their own Custom packages if tools are supported?

Yes, users should be able to make emu pkgs. Some Ps2 homebrew will also be supported that way. Ps1 & ps2 are currently fully supported. PSP support still need a little work but we believe this will be supported as well once the release is ready.

From the README.md: PS3xploit Resigner

A tool to resign PS2 / PS3/ PSX / PSP content for use with PS3 etHANol 4.82. To resign RIF file you need act.dat, idps.hex and a rap file. output will be signed_act.dat and rif

PKG files are resigned when converting from debug to HAN style PKG but seperate resigning for .ENC/.EDAT/CONFIG is supported PKG resigning is supported including every PKG type i could find
