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 were able to generate our own dongle ID keys ones that Sony hasnt revoked. And to do that: Xtses 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, thats 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.

I got this off a PS3 news site so i thought i'd share it with you guys here at TTG.
