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.

Cool, I thought it would work on all consoles but just wanted to make sure. I've done HAN on a slim with no problems, so I was just wanting to make sure before before I did this phat console but haven't made my mind up yet would like to get both ways under my belt lol.

hello every one
i have only one question
can i run every ps3 games in this exploit ?.
Not exactly.
You can run all PS3 PSN games after you resign the files but retail disc PS3 games are limited to titles which have at least one official update. You should check the cfw2ofw compatibility list for more info.

@Ps3_dev

v4.0 will be released some time this summer ;) There is no particular hurry & current kernel investigations take precedence.

@GREEDY PESOS

Thank you for your support.

Since the first ps3xploit release in November 2017, we have insisted that no promises were made regarding the release of a full jailbreak.
I only began to work exclusively on the kernel last week after finishing the entire rewriting of the ps3xploit javascript to ease development further & get it ready for kernel exploitation. Before that, the team's focus was on userland only.
I don't know exactly how long it will take to exploit the kernel, altogether, several hundreds of hours of free time probably & the number of those in a working week is limited for all team members.

Additionally I have no idea whether or not there would be anything released in the end. It would depend on a number of factors which I will not get into here.

As to donations, so far, the team had unanimously rejected the idea for our userland work.
But we never discussed the possibility for the development of a kexploit so far...
Currently, imho, the only thing that may actually deserve donations is the **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new) Web hosting.

Ive done some work of my own and got a homebrew program running on ofw with help of han and some major pkg tweaking. However Im very hesitant to release my findings as almost 5 mins in each time my super slim overheated shuts down and then when i turn it on the package is uninstalled. It also corrupted many files and caused many crashes on xmb so i think my way isnt the best way to exploit it in sadly...

Unsigned code running as a PPU self?

Installing a homebrew self via debug pkg is easily done but that is the only thing the HAN Tools can help with.
Running a PPU self successfully is another story, how did you get the appldr check to succeed?

Launching the homebrew can be done in several ways but depending how it's launched, you get an error message with a 0x8xxxxxxx error number or lv2 panics & machine freezes, either on black screen, a red screen or xmb...

The team managed to bypass all checks when running a brew on ofw but that method required QA to be toggled on & as far as we know that cannot be done without defeating lv1/lv2 on a retail cex console. The brew & needed system modules all get loaded into memory & a process is initialized but the QA check freezes the console. Dead end.

Anyway, if you wish to post your findings, you can do so, any new data is interesting to all devs. Dangerous files or processes are not a problem as long as they are not public releases sold as being safe.
Anything experimental & labelled as such should always be treated as potentially dangerous to an extent.

To be perfectly honest i got lucky. I know almost nothing of how the ps3 works but decided to attempt dicking around with a ps3 pkg of a small retail game it was a combination of 5 different programs out of 1000 or so that i tried using. I would release the modded pkg but due to it being a modified and resignec retail pkg repacked to force run a homebrew i think that ill just keep it till i can make another miracle. I also dont want not so smart users thinking they can magicly run it and then end up blowing up their system or it corrupting their stuff. I will release it if i can fix it all on my own though.

"major pkg tweaking" lol. So you claim you did something impossible, with 5 different programs that you wont even tell us about, and you wont share it, even with devs because it might overheat their system or "blow it up".. Seriously, share the working homebrew or maybe just stfu as you are making a complete fool out of yourself. :D :D

HAN Tools will not help you to transform demos into full versions. They were not designed to do such things.
If you want the full version of a PSN game you need to install the full release pkg using the same method as you did for the demos.
