Mathieulh recent tweets have basically outlined new information relating to dumping of LV0 for PS3 FW 3.60 and obtaining the new firmwares keys. He has not released the full method on how to do this, but at this point has given enough for someone to figure out the rest. There also a team by the name of “Ps3WeOwnYoU” on Twitter claiming to have cracked the new firmware VIA Mathieulth’s tweets.

Below are the recent Mathieulh tweets:

“You can’t overflow user processes, the NX bit applies here, you can only overflow lv2 or a process with higher privileges.”

“You can update from your pwn pup only from 3.55 or lower, unless you have an exploit.”

“Of course that should be fixed in upcoming lv0 revisions anyway (By moving the ldrs to the top of lv0)”

“You run the 3.60 lv0, then you switch the nor, and pull the cell reset line, and you dump the extra KBs where the loaders are.”

“Basically you have a nor with 3.55 (or lower) lv0 and your own small lv1 code that does the dump, and 3.60 lv0 on the other.”

” You wont get all of lv0 but the part with the loaders shouldn’t be overwritten.”

“You can actually get all the 3.60 keys/loaders without knowing lv0 keys by dumping lv0 from ram with dual nor and signed lv1.”

“That’s from an older lv0, the method to get the data isn’t the same, the one I posted was a dump, this one is a decryption ”

“There is a nice way to dump pre 3.55 lv0 as well by using a small lv1 binary, it’s a risky process though.”

“Oh! You mean my pm ? congrats, you just figured I have had lv0 dumped/decrypted for quite some time xD”

“Reminds me of those stupid lv2 overflows I spotted ages ago in the bdemu code, which are useless now on 3.55+ anyway.”

“To those planning on building a 3.56+ pup for whatever reason, the files attributes changed, the group and user ids for the files as well.”

“The new 3.56+ values for tarballs are the following: owner_id, “0000764″ group_id, “0000764″ owner, “tetsu” group, “tetsu” ustar, “ustar ”

”

“You can use fix_tar to use those new values. Use with caution.”

“By comparison, those are the pre-3.56 values. owner_id, “0001752″ group_id, “0001274″ owner, “pup_tool” group, “psnes” ustar, “ustar “
