theregister wrote Suggestions that Sony has added a rootkit with the latest firmware update to its PS3 console have been denounced as bunkum by a leading gaming security expert.

Rumours began flying on the interwebs earlier this week that the official 3.56 firmware upgrade for Sony's consoles gave the consumer electronics giant the ability to execute code on the PS3 as soon as a user goes online.


Sony can use the technology to verify system files or to look for home-brewed games, it was suggested. More sinister still, it was warned, the code can be updated without further firmware updates.

The more excitable elements of the gamer community as well as tech blogs and gaming sites cried foul over the move, with many describing it as the introduction of hidden "rootkit-style" functionality.

But Chris Boyd, a security researcher at GFI Security who has studied the security of online games for several years, points out the development is not new since Sony wrote the ability for it to do remote updates into its terms and conditions since at least 2006.

"It's been known for a while that a networked PS3 will contact Sony servers at start up (whether it has an active PlayStation network account on it or not), which performs various tasks related to error logs, updates and other activities," Boyd (aka Paperghost) told El Reg.

Anyone using a PS3 agrees in the terms of service to allow their console to perform these tasks.

Mark Russinovich found a rootkit in Sony CDs back in 2005, provoking a huge privacy outcry. This has led some enthusiasts and bloggers to suggest that history is repeating itself with the PS3 firmware upgrade.

The PS3 firmware upgrade is nothing like as malign, argues Boyd, who has spoken on X-Box and online gaming security at several security conferences. "Comparing a last ditch attempt at blocking hacks and custom firmware to the truly dreadful CD rootkit is mind boggling."

Sony bundled ill-conceived copy-protection on its music CDs that meant a rootkit was installed if they were played on Windows PCs. This created a vulnerability on affected machines later latched onto by malware writers. Sony withdrew the technology following an outcry.

Comparing this to the PS3 firmware update misunderstands what has actually been done or the practical risks of the move, according to Boyd.

"This is only really a concern if you're interested in modding - otherwise I'm not convinced there's a 'threat' as such," Boyd told El Reg. "I'm still waiting for someone to explain how this 'PS3 rootkit' could be used to run unsigned malicious code on a non-jailbroken box," he added.

Sony recently earned the enmity of the gamer and security communities by suing hackers who figured out a way to run unsigned code on PlayStation 3 consoles without the use of a dongle. The blogiverse has been inclined to ascribe the worst possible motives to anything Sony has done with a console since, regardless of whether it's actually new or how what it's doing sits against other potential threats.

Boyd, who has been vocal in criticising the lawsuits against the PS3 hackers such as geohot, nonetheless argues that gamers need to get a grip. "People will happily download homebrew from Basement Bob which could steal logins/credit card details, but code from the console maker is evil?"

FOR THOSE WHO ARE AT 3.55: STAY THERE! UNLESS YOU WANT TO RISK NOT BEING ABLE TO JAILBREAK 3.56 IN THE NEAR FUTURE!

I warned you guys in my thread that is stickied not to update if you wanted to be able to still jailbreak on 3.56 but some either didnt read or decided to update anyways. My post:

This is just an update on what is going on, nothing is 100% precise at the moment.

ATTENTION! There have been no reports of this bricking any console slim/phat. But there are always chances so you proceed at your own risk!

1. First make sure your console is on Official Sony 3.55: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
   
   
2. Next, or if you are at Official 3.55 already [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (note: you no longer need geohots patch)
   
   
3. Make a folder on your thumbdrive called PS3. Inside that make a folder called UPDATE. Place the kmeaw 3.55 that you downloaded above "PS3UPDAT.PUP" there.(PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP)
   
   
4. Update your PS3 with the Kmeaw CFW 3.55 Firmware(if it will not update see below for recovery steps)
   
   If you plan on using a backup manager other than Gaia Manager 2.01 (which is below in the downloads section) you will need to run this before you boot any other backup manager for it to work [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
   
   If you are having black screens or disc read errors download this fix permissions file and install and run it. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
   

Recovery Mode: If it will not allow you to update from the XMB then turn your console off. Now hold the Power button until the console boots up and shuts back off. Release the power button after it shuts off. Now hold the power button again until u hear 4 beeps. Plug up a controller and navigate to System Update and follow the onscreen instructions.

Simply download a .pkg file below and put it on the root of your usb drive then navigate to Game>Install Package Files and install the .pkg files that are on your usb. That easy.

I will keep this updated with all of the current homebrew available for the 3.55-JB. I also have a thread in the Homebrew and Linux forum with the same downloads, see that HERE

(note: if you are going to host and want to advertise on TTG you MUST be hosting for free)

Requirements:

• Blackbox FTP Server( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] | [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] | [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] )
  
• patch_mp.ff( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] )
  
• A FTP program on your computer. I recommended FlashFXP( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] )

Tutorial:

1. Run Blackbox FTP on your playstation
   
2. Connect to the IP shown on your screen with the FlashFXP program
   
3. Go to /dev_hdd0/game/BLUS30377/USRDIR/ and overwrite the patch_mp.ff with the one I provided
   
4. Boot up MW2 and you are successfully hosting online.

A homebrew development team I am currently creating. Looking for people who already know how to use PSL1GHT and sign pkgs. If you have no idea what you are doing then I dont want you.

Current Project:

fooPSpoof - fooPSpoof is an player activity spoofer that allows you(the player) to choose what they want to look like they are playing. This changes what all friends see you doing when they are looking at you on their friends list to whatever you input. In the current build all you do is hover over the fooPSpoof app on your XMB and press triangle and go to information. At that point the Title area will be editable unlike all other homebrew. Therefore you can edit that to whatever you like and launch the app. At the time this will only work while you have the app running so you cant do anything but sit in our empty app. Eventually we may add emulators so it will give you something to do. Mainly use this when you arent gonna be at your PS3 because I doubt you will wanna stare at a black screen.
