Although this is nothing major for the moment, a hacker by the name of “hacked2123″ has released a proof-of-concept mpeg that will cause the PS3’s XMB to crash.
Here is the new file, I reproduced the result with another file and worked on cleaning it up till I knew where things were going wrong. I hope this is useful.
And included is the image of the crucial points. The first is the mixing point between header and footer. The second is the very last byte before the the crash will not occur.
Its been confirmed to work with firmware 1.10 and 1.11.
Certainly a nice discovery; perhaps a method to inject unsigned code will follow… *shrug*

you really should give credit to ps3news.com as this is posted first in their forum. stop stealing other peoples news without giving them credits. besides “hacked2123″ is the username registered in ps3news.com as well.
actually, it was emailed to me without a source. so I was unaware ps3news had it first. But you do realize they never properly credit their sources as well? In any case, I’ve amended the post.
true !!
Ps3news always gets the news first !thats where hackers go.
PDX was on there
@greg !!
ps3news get in touch with PDX.. SO THEY DONT HAVE SOURCES THEY GET THE NEWS THEMSELEVES !!
AND..
HACKED2123 IS A MEMBER ON THE SITE…
PS3NEWS WILL ALWAYS BE FIRST.!
NO OFFENCE.
LOL
none taken. I was speaking in more general terms; not just PS3 news. But it’s all good.
Woah! It crashes! Great work! What will they come up with next? XD
what damages had it been accumulated on your unit while crashed?

im making a hello world for ps3.. through tiff exploit !!!!!!!”
What a fuckin tool…
lol. i was. but i couldent find a tiff that would crash it, haha. lol
PDX have release sod all over the weekend?, and no loader yet?
I think they are going to FADE away. they are scared there losin there rep because they have no loader.! so there gonna go out the scene for a bit.
I might be wrong tho !?
there is no PDX loader. Sorry… wait for dark alex
I may be noobish 4 asking but does Dark_alex do PS3 as well as PSP?
I agree, paradox doesnt have a loader. first they say goodbye tiff, theres no tiff exploit, then they go and say “follow dark_alex’s way” dark alex i think if i recall correctly created hen_d through the tiff exploit no? they release little hints that dont add up to anything. then say they will release it at the european launch..and yet..NO LOADER. pfft at paradox
starting to think the same thing… ;)
yes its true, If they had a loader, there was no reason not to release it. Ps3 as already came out in Europe last friday. So, wrong move to PDX. The group sucks!
yep, wtf happen to the march 24th release of the iso loader….liesssssssss
LIAR!!! PDX you have nothing. BIGGEST APRIL JOKE EVER!!!!!!!!!you will see on every ps3 hacking site there it is the LOADER on April 1th
Paradox are keeping it so quiet nowadays,
now!! does anyone smell a storm coming our way? or maybe its a Fart :)) who knows.
sooo wut is thie LibMPEG exploit?
wut does it do?
its says it will crash the XMB
itsnt that bad?
mayb i am wrong i didnt get it can any1 tell me wut does it do ? n how to use it?
plzzz
Exploit means, the orignal program that is running which is in this case the PS3 menu dash board and that including the copy protection Sony included in there it will crash, which means any homebrew code will not be rejected by PS3 system, making it easy for coders/hackers to remove the system’s protection codes and making PS3 accept any program , like Emulators iSo loaders to run..
An Exploit is when u take advantage of a vulnrability in the system (in this case the LibMPEG codec) when the system crashes it is because it points to a place in the memory that is invalid but if you replace the place in the memory with some code it automatically executes the artbitray code (also known as ShellCode).
