This network hole permits users to copy their own files to the PS3 hard drive. Currently .SELF's on the HD are executed from EBOOT.BIN, and the .SELF is NPDRM encrypted, so you cannot simply replace it; however, it will assist developers in figuring out how a .SELF runs.
Linux Method Requirements
- v1.70-v1.81 PS3 Firmware
- Warhawk Package
- Folding@Home DNS Method
- HTTP server
- Ettercap
Using 1.70+ PS3 Firmware, use the
Folding@Home DNS Method to install the Warhawk package.
Upon completion, set up a HTTP server, as well as DNS (or say, Apache and Ettercap, as shown)
In your etter.dns, add: download-prod.online.scea.com A ApacheIPAddress
Save that file.
In your Apache HTDOCS, create the directories: medius-patch/warhawk-pubeta/warhawk/20070608_r012
So your full directory looks like: /var/www/html/medius-patch/warhawk-pubeta/warhawk/20070608_r012
Inside the 20070608_r012, do a:
wget http://download-prod.online.scea.com/ \
medius-patch/warhawk-pubeta/warhawk/20070608_r012/NPUA80093.cfg
wget http://download-prod.online.scea.com/ \
medius-patch/warhawk-pubeta/warhawk/
20070608_r012/NPUA80093_113_PARAM.sfo
wget http://download-prod.online.scea.com/ \
medius-patch/warhawk-pubeta/warhawk/
20070608_r012/NPUA80093_113_release.self
So, you get with three resulting files as follows: a .SELF, a .CFG, and an .SFO file.
Your .CFG file is:
1.13 NPUA80093_113_release.self warhawkapp.self 8019192
1.13 NPUA80093_113_PARAM.sfo PARAM.SFO 1128
1.00 data00p.psarc data00p.psarc 3043387
In the above example, each column is as follows:
1.13, 1.13, and 1.00 are the Firmware update version.
NPUA80093_113_release.self, NPUA80093_113_PARAM.sfo, and data00p.psarc are the file names on the Web server.
warhawkapp.self, PARAM.SFO, and data00p.psarc are the file names on the PS3 HDD.
8019192, 1128, and 3043387 are the file sizes in bytes.
NOTE: This file can not be longer than 3 lines! If anything is wrong, it will fail and an error message will come up stating that the update didn't work, and then you will be prompted to redo it if you wish.
The 1.00 data00p.psarc line is REQUIRED, you can swap out the .SFO and .SELF, for other files (to change images etc, as we shown).
Finally, bring up your HTTP server, and turn on your PS3, then in a terminal run (on your Linux PC): ettercap -T -Q -M arp -i eth0 // // -P dns_spoof
Once your HTTP server is up (with the files inside, that you changed), and DNS redirects are on (using your preferred method), run Warhawk, hit update, it will download the CFG from your PC, and update the files listed. This may work for other PS3 titles as well, but they have not been tested at this time.
