UPDATE 1 (OCT. 11 2018) - With the release of OFW 4.83 portions of PS3Xploit have been patched, The team is looking at workarounds, STAY ON 4.82, DO NOT UPDATE TO 4.83 AT THIS TIME:

UPDATE 2 (MARCH -2019) HFW (Hybrid Firmware) Released - Allows for PS3Xploit Tools / Hacks (including HAN) to work for 4.84 (OFW) OFFICIAL FIRMWARE (See Here) Also the HAN Exploit was updated to v3.01 for 4.84 HFW support

dThe PS3Xploit Team has done it yet once again with an incredible breakthrough that has now just gone LIVE for everyone and as the recent teaser recently suggested it's for those later Slim & SuperSlim models who are not capable of using CFW (aka NoN CFW Compatible Models). While not a HEN (Homebrew Enabler) it's a volatile dose of "HAN" (short for etHANol). This version of the hack has evolved to offer something to every PS3 model now. All existing models will now have the ability to get PS3 games backup pkg installation and PS1/PS2/PSP emulators support among other features as outlined by developer bguerville who is going to take from here with this introduction of PS3Xploit v3.0 -- Codenamed: "HAN"

  • PS3Xploit Team is pleased to announce the official release of the PS3Xploit Tools v3.0 project nicknamed 'HAN'.

    PS3Xploit Tools v3.0 is a suite of 6 tools supporting both official firmware versions 4.81 & 4.82. The only pre-requirement to use HAN is to have an activated PSN user account.
    It's recommend not to use your main PSN account but rather a spare one.
    Users should create a new secondary user account on the PS3 then activate a new PSN account in it.
    This secondary ps3 account should be used to perform all the pkg installations. Then for regular gaming, use the primary user account.

    The principle behind HAN is quite simple, due to a vulnerability in the way npdrm content is managed, it is possible to resign game related files with custom keys, patch vsh & install resigned pkg from XMB.

    The first tool, on the PC side, ps3xploit_rifgen_edatresign.exe should be used to generate rif files and create new signed_act.dat. You should place the act.dat/idps.hex, previously dumped with HAN ACT/IDPS Dumper, in the resigner directory and drag matching rap file for your game onto the executable file. Then rename the new "signed_act.dat" to "act.dat" and place it on USB drive along with the new rif file. The files are now ready to be pushed to the PS3 using the HAN ACT/RIF Copier.

    ** It is recommended to resign all the pkgs that require Han enabler with this tool**
    ** Packages which are converts and packages which needs rif activation **
    **
    keep original act.dat in a safe place **

    On the PS3 side, the other 5 ps3xploit tools are:
    1. HAN Installer - Copies necessary system files to PS3 to run HAN.
    2. HAN Enabler - Enables the HAN patches
    3. HAN ACT/IDPS Dumper - Dumps current user profile user act.dat & PS3 IDPS to USB.
    4.
    HAN ACT/RIF Copier - Copies the resigned act.dat & generated rif file from USB to the current user profile.
    5. HAN Debug PKG Enabler - Provided optionally for users wishing to install debug pkg. Note that if you run this patch you will not be able to install any pkg resigned with the ps3xploit resigner for HAN anymore until you reboot!

    The 'HAN' project is solely relying on userland exploitation to provide digital backups support for the majority of PS3 Games as well as PS1/PS2/PSP Emulators (within the ps3 firmware) and the ability to install PKG files from USB. PS3 PKG Game backups need to be prepared using TABR like technique and only ps3 games having an available "game update" are supported.
    PKG files are installed from the Games XMB column, using a version of the Rebug Package Manager tweaked for this project. On USB of course, the FAT32 limitation of 4Gb is still in effect, it's a partition type limitation, nothing we can do about that. However workarounds using a local server can be used to remedy the situation if required.
    Important:
    To get best results initializing the exploit, remember to load the pages directly from a clean browser session. Never browse to an exploit page from other pages & never use a homepage other than blank or the exploit page you wish to use.
    We recommend to:
    1. Go to the ps3 browser homepage option & choose blank homepage.
    2. Create favourites to HAN Enabler & the other HAN pages you wish to use.
    3. Restart the browser.
    4. Use the favourites to access any page from complete scratch.
    5. Reload the browser between exploits.

Does anyone know of a way to create a pkg or folder that I can transfer to my PC after doing this? I've got the package manager on the PS3
 
It's not on the cards for the moment.
Henkaku used a vulnerability in the messaging software that allowed to run the exploit locally once injected as an email.
For an offline version of the ps3xploit tools to be created, a vulnerability must first be found in a part of the ps3 OS that can read a local html file.

This was just posted:
http://www.psx-place.com/threads/enabling-han-offline-possible.16937/
Not sure if that is good solution or not or any dangers from doing it that way?
 
any way to write/dump directory "dev_hdd0/game/"? thanks
Not with the exploit..
The way folder trees are handled for file operations at lower level is by recursivity. Each folder is scanned, each files processed & each found directory scanned in turn. That requires loops within loops which makes for extremely complicated ROP.
Consider that copying one file from USB requires a minimum of 7 syscalls so attempting to do this without the proper loop mechanism is impossible...
Maybe there is/are gadget(s) to do it in the ps3 system code but so far we haven't found them...
 
thanks for the contribution ... but I need help ...
I was able to install the PS3Xploit v3.0 in my super Slim play ...
But when trying to play more than 4giga games it gives me an error and now I try to enter the games that I installed, I see an error as if there was no HAN enabler ... I repeat the HAN enabler, it appears to be correct but the error persists ... besides the same error now appears even with the games you buy from the store ...

install the HAN_Toolbox_Beta_v0.2 and use the PKG Linker
thanks for help
 
Good Sirs,

How do you install and run C00 games using PS3Xploit v3 ? There is no rap file for those. Any help would be gladly appreciated.

I got games with .pkg and .rap files to work flawlessly with this method.

Warm Regards,

Troy
 
To install an avatar to my main acc.. i will need to dump the act.dat of my main acc right? Which is dangerous...i guess

I was able to install an avatar, but for the second.. dummy acc only.

PS : Devs, kindly look into this post. I just need a no if its not possible and I will be on my way.
 
The instructions explain that you should open a secondary ps3 user account with a spare psn account to do all the HAN installations.
Then use your primary ps3 user account to play. In your primary account, the psn profile will still be your main psn account & can be used to play online.

Note that s#ny could change its PSN server code to attempt to detect HAN so use HAN online at you own risk.
And what about the 2 years old PexPloit Tool? That you could installed costum pkg files for moddiefied game updates and games? They didnt patched it also too! So you really cant get banned for this, if sony hasent banned the PexPloit thing but i am using it since january 2016 and still i am not banned :)
 
Hey

It's possible to generate a RAP file on pc? On reactpsn i can't cause HAN doesn't have homebrew, (i think reactpsn it's homebrew right?)

So i want to play ps1 and ps2 games that i can't find on pkg format, so i convert ISO into PKG, but i don't get the rap file.. how can i get ?
Just use ***PlayStation Store*** you can download the rap file for your games there
 
So, I've done everything and everything completed but in the end when I've put my signed pkg file onto the root of my FAT32 formatted usb stick and entered the package installer the package says RATCHET and the 2 arrows keep spinning in a circle. I've enabled HAN again after rebooting and copied the rif file name and everything, but i've not seen anyone with this problem. If anyone could explain I would be most grateful.
 
Could anyone help me with ps3splitter and my usb? I've splitted gta san andreas in 2 parts with ps3splitter because fat32 usb is only supporting file up to 4gb but san andreas was 4.4 gb anyways. I splitted and the extension of the 2 files are 66600 and 66601 i draged them onto my usb but now i cant install them ? What should i do ? And i dont want to make a server because my internet speed :).
Thanks

bruh listen. dont make life hard for yourself and others. connect your pc directly to your ps3 using an Ethernet cable and transfer it. also your internet speed wont matter cuz it will all be done locally. your internet speed mattered only when you pirated that game.:D
