Firmware 5.03 Says Hello World, TIFF Based Exploit Released

[x3sphere]

Update #2: The TIFF exploit has been updated once again, this time sporting compatibility with both the PSP-1000 and PSP-2000. Although not officially supported, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dark-alex.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=12276">reports</a> also suggest it is working on 3000 units. Hit up the link below to download.

Update: File has been re-uploaded. According to MaTiAz, the wrong h.bin file was uploaded initially. If you had already grabbed the earlier release, simply download this one and replace all files. The "Hello World" message should now display when successfully executed.

The prospect of running homebrew on PSP-3000 units is rapidly inching closer, as homebrew developer MaTiAz has released a TIFF-based exploit in the form of a "Hello World," proof of concept application.

The exploit is run from the PSP's photo menu, taking advantage of a vulnerability found in the TIFF image library. Should be quite a familiar process if you were around back in the heyday of the PSP scene, when software-based downgraders were all the rage. Nonetheless, installation instructions can be found in the included readme file. Note that the current version will function only on PSP-1000 units. A separate release is being prepared for Slim models, specifically the PSP-2000 and PSP-3000.

MaTiAZ notes that "a bit of awesomeness" is due out within the coming days, so keep your eyes peeled. After a long wait, the gates to homebrew access on firmware 5.03 have been opened up.

[Acerthief]

Who needs a game?
We want the TIFF! MUAHAHAHAHA


So much for sony.

 

[angelsniper45]

Sony gets pwned everytime they say a new firmware with security patches come out.

 

[marco0130]

<p>really?</p>

and the walls came tumbling down.

 

[ma77589970]

<p>I hope...</p>

 

[Kairu43]

<p>Is this a kernal mode exploit or a user mode exploit?</p>

 

[skparasite]

<p>Sigh I guess Sony is getting more of my money as I also go pick up a PSP-3000 as well. ;D</p>
<p>Didn't think I'd see another TIFF exploit though.</p>

Hey x3, you and me already knew about this before this was even released. Remember? :wink:


EDIT: I like how it says "hi sony".

s0nY msut be p*ssed off right now. (sorry for the language, but its probably how they feel.)

Also, this exploit will not have a HEN, correct?

 

[x3sphere]

Sure do... he has been working on it for awhile now actually

@Kairu43: At the moment it is user-only.

 

[jx233]

I don't want to even say the place where we found this information or the n00bs will flock there. :laugh:


Also, if kmode is achieved, could a custom IPL be written to flash so the HEN is permanent for the PSP-1000?

 

[zeaquinense]

<p>I have a psp 2000 with ofw 4.01 exploits came to this ofw?</p>

Highly doubt it will work on 4.01, seeing as many changes have been made to the memory space since then. It looks like we can expect this to evolve into a full blown homebrew enabler very soon so I'd recommend updating to 5.03 when the time comes.

@jx: On the 1000, yes I'd say so, assuming kernel mode is stable.

 

[frosty5689]

I'm looking forward to seeing the old days of downgrading revives itself, when service-mode batteries is unavailable(for now anyway).

If a Hombrew Enabler (HEN) is made (HEN) it will only be permanent until you don't perform a cold boot (in other words turn it on from a hard shutdown)...

 

[CoMbiNa]

That allows us to hack the TA88v3?
