(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Kakarotoks, the first hacker to have released a custom firmware, today announced it describes the three stages that Sony has adorned the hack for the PS3, and announced that he throws in the towel.

The hacker Kakarotoks became world famous by being the first to offer a custom firmware to play pirated games on PlayStation 3, following the work of the equally famous GeoHotz who had managed to decrypt the secure keys used to run the code (signed or not).

Yet Kakarotoks admits that Sony has found a solution to hack the PS3 unexpected deemed inviolable, and speaks of "heroic rescue" by the firm in Tokyo.

According to him, Sony has proceeded in three steps to rectify the situation:
- Step 1: Securing the firmware update 3.56
- Step 2: Securing the decryption of data when installing a firmware update in the 3.60
- Step 3: Securing the PSN with a change of protocol PSN since the launch of version 3.6x

To those who thought that Sony could address this flaw, since it was due to a hardware problem, Kakarotoks states: "a hardware fault can often be solved in software."

Sony had removed the loaders used by hackers, and have found a way to bypass metldr necessary to hack the console.

More surprising still, Kakarotoks said he will not try to break the 3.60 firmware, and will stay on his custom firmware 3.55: "The 3.55 was very good, and those who love the homebrew as I remain in this version. What we I should have done so far, those who do it should not update their console ... Everyone will find his account. "

He ended by warning the community of hackers do not need to try to convince him to resume his work of undermining: "Oh, and before you flooder me .... It will not be me! Indeed , does not interest me more than that to break the PS3, I'm happy with what we've done. I do not work above! ".

Finally, Sony has done: the manufacturer has found a way to security issues on the PS3. The games that come out in April will all require the installation of firmware 3.60, putting an end to an issue that stirred the Playstation community for 6 months. Good news.

Thanks, +repped :y:

My question is that what happens to the people who don't have internet?
And maybe 3.60 spoofer could resolve this....

anyway there will be plently of games who requires 3.56 or 3.60

but there are tons of people who can make eboot bin for 3.55

People without internet don't need netflix and 95% of what new firmware has to offer. Certain games also have the newest firmware(at the time) on the disc, so you can download it without internet :y:

That is correct, thanks for pointing that out :y:

Your question is relative to the psn.
The psn I think there will always be a hacker who can help us on those points in 3.55, but the real question we must ask is this what kakarotoks throws the sponge means the end of the hack ps3 knowing that it's not just him and we all expect the end of the trial of geohot.

EDIT: i'm a big noob I misread the question excuse me.
But it's not totally false wath i said XD ^^

Well I doubt 3.60 CFW will ever come out, however while the hardware may never be hacked again, nothing is unhackable.

Its funny how games that are being released at the moment require 3.42, 3.56 and yet everyone on 3.41 are still enjoying all of them, the same thing will happen again.
