PS3 LibMPEG Exploit Proof-of-Concept r1

[wraggster]

hacked2123 has released details of a new Proof of concept exploit for the PS3.

Heres the details;

Very simply I had a .h264 encoded video file, and encapsulated it through VLC with M2TS, and transferred it to the PS3; it claims the file is "Corrupted Data". When selected the PS3 prompts the screen with "The data is corrupted."

Here's the good part, that same file, when selected after entering a game (any game), will produce a completely black screen, no info, no beep, no nothing and the controller circle and other buttons won't work. (PS button works, but when the system is turned off it sounds like its yelling @ you (the beeps))

This sounds interesting to see. I'll download this and try it out when I get my new PlayStation 3 console tomorrow morning.

Yes indeed. There is already much great news about the PS3 being hacked with this exploit, rumors of a Paradox exploit, rumors of a Ferrox exploit, and a modchip. It is a great time to be a PS3 owner.

hhhmmm how many months on and still no sign of the ps3 ever playing homebrew?

Yah this is embarrassing for homebrewers everywhere and exciting for Sony. I wish Dark_AleX and Fanjita would work on the PS3.
