PS3 Master Key Found (For Real This Time) and PS3 Dongle ID Key Generator Released

Thanks to graf_chokolo who made public the PS3 master key (46 DC EA D3 17 FE 45 D8 09 23 EB 97 E4 95 64 10 D4 CD B2 C2). With said key we’re able to generate our own dongle ID keys — ones that Sony hasn’t revoked. And to do that: Xtse’s PS3 Dongle ID Key Generator. Two versions are available — one for Windows and one for Linux. And I gotta say congratulations to hack master chokolo, that’s some real nice HV work in the past couple weeks.

The key used for PS3 downgrade dongles currently sold is typically 0xAAAA; the same can be said for PSGrade. Sony can revoke keys of their choice with firmware updates, potentially leaving you hack-less. Now that graf has discovered the “master key” we can generate our own dongle keys and keep on entering factory/service mode … should that lead to other hacks down the road.

Cheers!!!!!

Happy new YEAR 2011.....
