PS3 Hacker Tells Sony to Back Off or Else...

Graf_chokolo, famous for a multitude of decryption payloads on the PS3, has warned Sony to back off. Earlier today, several sites were issued Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notices, ordering them to stop hosting several famous PS3 dev's projects. Sites such as GitHub complied with the order, and removed projects being worked on by coders Kakarotoks, Graf_Chokolo, and Kmeaw.

In response to these actions, Graf_Chokolo gave Sony an ultimatum earlier today, over on XorLoser's blog. He stated that if Sony was to continue such tactics, that he will publish his IDA database, for the PS3's Hypervisor and Hypervisor processes. What this means, is that reverse engineering the hypervisor would immediately become much easier for other developers using IDA Pro Disassembler. IDA Pro is a popular tool, commonly used in reverse engineering software.

"It's my right to do what I want even if it does hinder other people's gameplay experience!! Wah"

actually i hope he dumps it lol. that would be hilarious

Today....marks doomsday for all who scorned the wrath of Sony. 0.0

I hope they all get thrown in jail.

I hope they go after this guy hardcore for black mail.

Tomorrow's news;

"Famous hacker found dead by ninja assassination. There was a message in blood saying LEARN YOUR PLACE."

That is officially a BAD IDEA. :lol:

Not a smart move.

Possible consequences or positive outcomes...

1.. End of Sony (or Sony Playstation)
(hope this isn't gonna happen)

2.. Sony employs all the hackers with a salary double that to the highest paid person in the company, in a sort of blackmailing the hackers to not release any more hacks.

3.. Sony let's this all happen, lose lots of money but starts the development of the PS4.

4.. Sony releases Egohot and drops the ransom, then secretly implements high tech security in a future patch. (background downloading?)

5.. VWI will start. (Virtual War 1) and Microsoft will join in for the fun. Nintendo will suddenly release a well hidden console with quantum chips while the 2 major companies think they are having a war with the hackers.

Any more possible outcomes?

Personally I would like Sony to keep making these fantastic systems..

They should make a movie about Kevin Butler going to find this guy, and killing him.Razor-Lazor

A Kevin Butler commercial about these hackers would be amazing.

Sometimes I really believe people underestimate the power of corporations.

That kid thinks he can really stand up to a major corporation like Sony?

Wasdie

man takes on multi billion dollar company

Only if Sony added a Mercenary part of the company.

I love hearing how some of you say "Oh I agree with the hacker, I should have total control over my own console I bought!" "This is Sony's fault!".

Well these hackers are ruining our online play so some of you should rethink who's side your really on.

On topic, honestly this hacker is an idiot. Who reveals himself and his intentions of hacking Sony's PS3? This guy will go down the same route as GeoHotz. Sony will destroy him.

KB would know what to do

after all he is VP of FPSs
as well as getting **** done

Sony Should Hire Yakuza, that would be awesome.

And Some guy dressed like Kratos too.
