OtherOS was removed because of the exploit we found. Once gone we still had other minimal exploits which allowed us to bypass Starbuck security checks. Thus allowing us to essentially run code to open other parts, and eventually creating home brew. Dave was awesome with his multiman home brew and helping us to achieve these goals. Once this was done it was time to finally get back to bringing OtherOS into cfws, which took about 6 months from start to finish. Because of the update Sony released to remove (it never was actually removed but just left there) the feature, we had to think of another way to create a bootable HD image which the system itself could use as a virtual drive for OtherOS. Sony’s official response to the community was that it’s just not possible to keep OtherOS because of security problems. This is not true, they didn’t feel like rewriting everything is all. OtherOS was still in the newer official firmwares but it was broken and not fixable because it completely closed the boot flags needed. This was the reason they dropped it, the exploit between ofw and booting OtherOS was patched. Sony was lazy and didn’t feel like doing the work and decided to patch the part which OtherOS needed. This was the only reason it took 6 months for us to bring it back under a cfw, we needed a newer found exploit to be finished before even trying to create a boot strap for OtherOS. I was personally responsible working with 2 other people to create the new way of reading OtherOS file systems. And let me tell ya, it wasn’t easy. I remember the moment we successfully booted into ppc Linux distro yellow dog. We couldn’t wait to tell everyone. We released the image I believe on 3 major dev sites and we didn’t get one single comment or thank you for about two weeks, in fact people were more like, ok so why did you feel the need to bring OtherOS back? Big deal. But to us developers, having to create new code, cfw, and hd images to boot an original feature that was still locked away in the back of new updates was a huge accomplishment for us. Don’t even get me started on how we prevented breakage due to updates, that took another two months to accomplish

The issue is that these actions greatly hindered the abilities of the end user enjoy the content that they spent their hard earned cash on, and this had already been ruled illegal by US courts. As far as copy protection goes companies should never covertly install software on to their consumers systems without the explicit permission of the customer, even more so software that hinders the customers ability to enjoy the content that they spent their money on, and cripples the abilities of certain pieces of hardware that the end user has purchased, at this point the software has gone beyond the boundaries of what can be considered DRM and into the territory of malware.

I love these in-depth exploit retrospectives that you do. I find the whole process of console exploitation so fascinating, all the reverse engineering and loopholes, and just the game of cat and mouse between the devs/crackers and the manufacturers. I still remember when I first learned that my phat PSP could be hacked, and then watching as the scene around it exploded. And then all these years later I got to repeat that experience with the PS Vita. Hopefully we'll see something happen in the PS4 scene now that it's reaching EOL.

If Sony decides to block backwards compatibility for the PS5, I look forward to Sony repeating history and ending up so panicked about device security that they overdo it again in a way that brings out the wrath of their fans.

Not many people were looking for the exploits on ps3 (not really actually trying much) , but once removed Other OS that upset a lot of people and put a lot more work on it If they had left other OS in it may of been broken eventually but most likely been some more years I guess (unless they did manage to brake in via Other OS as what Sony was paranoid about which really work great for them removing it in fines and accelerating the exploit finding)

Your order of events isn't quite correct. August 20th: The PSJailbreak is announced. Samples are sent out to a few reporters and modchip vendors as proof. August 25th: First "Chinese clone" is announced. Doesn't ship until mid September. September 1st: Open source PSGroove exploit is released to the public. As far as I'm aware at the time PSGroove was released, most modchip stores haven't even received shipment of the original PSJailbreak or the clones. Nobody had them. I haven't seen much evidence of anyone receiving them until mid or late September. While PSGroove is technically a clone (based on a single USB trace of one of the sample units), it bet everything else to market. Most of the clones are based on PSGroove source code.

@philrod14 жыл бұрын
It was a University in America that built the first cluster, nowhere near the scale of the military one though. I think, but I don't know for sure, that a portion of it is still running. Sony didn't directly kill it off as the machines were not updated, but units died over time and replacements were no longer available. Plus, time moves on and technology improves. The PS3 clusters were eventually obsolete.

Let's be clear on some facts of that story. It was the United States Navy Super Computer Cluster. It was chosen to use PS3s because of its ability to run Linux and it's CPU which is capable of supercomputing. The Computer has since been decommissioned by the U.S Government for being obsolete. I have one of the Phat PS3s used in the system with its original sticker that says us navy and it's serial number etc.

PS3 got hacked so hard that it made the PSP even more trivial to hack than it already was.
