Hackers already exploiting Sony’s PlayStation Home

Already suffering through complaints of user boredom, disappointing content and outdated presentation, the PlayStation 3’s much-delayed virtual world Home has now fallen into the cross hairs of the online hacker community. More pointedly, exploits uncovered within Home’s software coding have enabled opportunistic hackers to customise the apparently bland virtual world so that it includes interactive elements not officially included by creator Sony Computer Entertainment. Specifically, one such hack allows users to watch their own movies on display screens located within the expansive three-dimensional world. It also allows for the implementation of text and music-based changes to fit the user’s personal taste, reports The Telegraph.

Not so playfully inoffensive in its delivery, another hack sees users able to download private files from the PlayStation Home servers, which includes having access to the profiles and in-world avatar representations of other users. Beyond the potentially harmless content applications associated with the security crack, the unexpected intrusion is being seen as somewhat of a worry in that it enables those ‘in-the-know’ to upload files to the Home server and also delete any files held therein. Industry concerns are now suggesting the PlayStation Home vulnerability could be utilised by cyber criminals to execute malware attacks that capable of culminating in the virtual world being forced offline completely.

    Here we go again…. you guys really dont like sony do you?

    ps3 owns the 360 being as how it doesn’t break and has 10x the power.

    Home is only in public beta its not in a final release stage so of course there is going to be problems. Keep coming out with the ps3 bashing though great fun to see everyone complaining about their system has the RRoD when they could spend $100 more and get a 10x better system.

    Keep it up K-mart shoppers Microsoft freaking loves you.

    I really want to be able to watch my own videos in the Theatre in Home. Watch the point of just watching trailers for games I’m never going to buy? I bought my PS3 solely as a Blu-Ray player and media streamer.

    December 17th, 2008 | 17:12

    You will be able to watch your videos in home with freinds in the final release of it same goes for listening to music. It is only in beta right now.

    I would also like to add that IF that is true then it would be the first time anyone found a backdoor into anything that has to do with the ps3.

    I own both a PS3 and a 360 elite. From my own perspective, it would be great if Sony and Microsoft got together (I know it will never happen) and have Sony make the hardware and Microsoft handle the software end.

    Our 360 gets way more use and has far more titles than PS3. The elite did RROD once but was quickly fixed under the free extended 3 year warranty, but it was still a big hassle. The PS3 is quieter and works flawlessly (so far). Although I may buy another PS3 so I can use them for bookends. LOL
    I do wonder how long the DVD-9 format will allow the 360 to compete with the added space for game data on the PS3’s blu-ray disc. Time will tell.

    Home is a big disappointment, mainly cause they’ve talked about it coming out since just after the launch of the PS3. Now that it is here, yawn……

    Just my 2 cents worth.
    Merry Christmas to all!

    I bet this “hack” just redirects request to another server? if so it’s not a hack :/ as much as editing you hosts file in windows is a “hack”. At least you can access the internet on the PS3 unlike the Xbox 360 where you only get what MS wants you to see with no web browser. How backwards is that.

  21. JJ
    December 17th, 2008 | 19:28

    @21 I think he means 10x the potential, which is fair.

    Advantages of a PS3:

    Very cheap upgradable Hard Drive (Currently up to 500Gb)
    Internal WIFi
    No power brick
    Internet browser
    Very organised music, pics and videos sections
    No chance of being banned for nothing
    BluRay
    Rechargable controllers (as standard)
    Free online play
    PVR Upgradability
    Much Quieter
    Doesn’t scratch your disks
    2-3% failure rate, unlike xbox’s 30%
    Amazing PSP connectivity
    Memory card reader
    HDMI from the start

    December 17th, 2008 | 20:12

    cheddar, lol @ you. have you seen both specs for PS3 and 360? the xbox 360 has the better graphics processing while the ps3 has the better central processing unit. but only marginily different. The PS3 is deffinitley not 10x more powerfull at all. and for potential? PS3 has web browsing, blue ray, free online play and that about it. i dont see how not scratching disks is potential and the xbox only does it when you turn the 360 from its side upright and it actually warns you not to do i so if you do your just stupid. seen the new xbox experience? install games to the hard drive. Now the xbox is much quieter than the PS3 not to mention increased loading times. whats to say that microsoft cant develop a web browser into the dashboard? isnt this potential for the xbox? seriouly you guys dont rly compare both properly i like both the PS3 and xbox but at the moment i think xbox is slightly better. has more game releases, online play is better and also has a nice big community, and now the play games off hard drive feature. ohh yea? sony dont provide PS2 backward compatibility anymore. did at first but not anymore. you can play allmost every xbox game on the 360. achievements are a nice thing which is obvious as sony have copied with thier trophy version of achievements lol. lots of nice nifty things with the xbox. only thing people bash the xbox about is its noisy. when i play games the noise didnt even phase me. and now not at all as i play games off the HDD. And RROD was due to microsoft trying to get the console out before christmas to boost sales and rushed the manufacturing of the consoles so hardware was failing. They have started working on fixing this now which can be seen with the elite. i dont hear many people getting the RROD now and you can get it replaced anyway if you get the RROD. $100 more you say? i dont use this currency but i know its significantly more you can get a xbox for as little as £130 or if you want an elite £230 which is the best option due to a new drive, improved motherboard and bigger hardrive. The PS3 is around £300. id rather get the xbox 360, cheaper, more games, more features,etc

  26. seriously
    December 17th, 2008 | 20:19

    When i fisrt saw home for the PS3 i thought it looked realy cool but when i actualy saw it at a friends i got bored of it after 20 mins or so which my mate mentioned before we went on the PS3. PS3 has potential with its innovative CPU. it has potential for better AI and better in game enviroments such as beign able to interact with more things. enviroments which you can actualy destroy etc. As soon as games and sony take full advanatge of the PS3 i will buy one but for now i will stick to the xbox elite. and hopefully the PS3 will become cheaper -.-

    Howto change posters, movies in Home !!!
    First download Apache HTTP Server 2.2 Download
    Then download simple dns plus (trial version) Download

    Install apache server and simple dns plus (in apache if it ask a server etc just put in your ip address)

    Then go to C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs
    Download the files from Streetskaterfu Download and extract the c.home map here

    Then open simple dns plus and click on records, and click on Quick zone wizard.
    Then put in as zone name “scee-home.playstation.net” for Europe or “scea-home.playstation.net” for usa without the quotes and in web server ip your ip address for example it looks like this (this is for europe)

    Then go on your PS3 to Network settings and set the dns server to manually and then put your ip adress there

    Then click ok, now go in htdocs to c.home\prod\live\Screens. There are the xml files for the screens now open like CinemaChannels.xml, in that file are all the posters and movie’s you see in the theatre change like
    Code:

    VIDEO
    http://scee-home.playstation.net/e.home/mfe/content/Movies/brideshead_trailer_5.mov

    to
    Code:

    VIDEO
    http://scee-home.playstation.net/e.home/mfe/content/Movies/PineappleExpress_Trailer-SD.mp4

    Then in screen 7 you will now see the PineappleExpress trailer. I think you now know how to do it for the posters ;p

    If you change something you MUST restart home !

    And CinemaChannels.xml is just to show you can do that in the market place

  29. seriously
    December 17th, 2008 | 20:26

    BTW JJ where did you get the 30% failure rate? i hope its not from the same source that say the PS3 has a 40% failure rate lol. xbox has a 16% failure rate and should be signifcantly less with the elite.

    better graphics processing? then explain to me why EVERY game that comes out accross platform looks better and runs better on the ps3( i would love to see one source that says different)

    Every game across both platforms has better aliasing on the ps3. But yah these big movie makers that have bought the tech to make cg movies yah they are just idiots they shoulda used the stuff in the 360 right?

    Regardless this article is bunk I’ve been on home and all over the net looking for verification I have not seen anywhere but here and jons comments that mention anything about it.

    Quieter then the ps3 though eh? Man i want to smack you….. If you have a loud ps3 take it back because there is something wrong. Ill take my soon to be 400gb bluray disc over your system that plays outdated dvds.( this is new tech from Panasonic I THINK whole bunch new layers added to discs talk of 1 tb disc by 2013)

    Meh xbox is a box of trash everyone i know that has bought one doesnt have one anymore because the stupid pos fails right after warranty expires. Im sorry but when a company releases a $300 operating system that fails and a $400 system that fails in the same couple years you would think people would say F-them they produce garbage but look at all the fanboys.

    LMAO!! well for a start (and this is just the latest third party multiplatform game) Fallout 3 performs significantly better it wont be hard for you to find plenty of reviews to confirm this.

    and like i said this isnt the first game that is better performing on the 360 and it certainly wont be the last, and this is because its is so much easier for developers to make games on the 360….FACT!!(read up on it if your too ignorant to not already know this)just look at the lack of extra content(case in point…Fallout3 exclusive DLC for 360+PC NOT ps3)

    are u mad all games are getting developed for blu-ray now that y games are becoming 3 disks now for the xbox. aww ye didnt xbox say hd dvd was the future the only place i see hd dvd now is the bin whats that aswell ps3 has 14 million active users online and xbox 360 have 16 million and whats that xbox been out longer than ps3 so proves ps3 is more popular aswell.

    Developers are increasingly using the PlayStation 3 (PS3) over Microsoft’s Xbox 360 as the primary development platform for games.

    “We are now starting to see developers creating games on PS3 and then porting them to other platforms such as EA’s Burnout,” said PlayStation boss Jack Tretton in an interview with IGN.
    “We are seeing tremendous progress from the third-party community in terms of what they are able to do with our development kits.”

    When developers first create games on PS3, they take advantage of the PS3’s unique hardware capabilities, maintains the chief executive, before adding, “you will see some very nice things in 2008 coming from our third party partners in addition to what you will see this holiday”.

    The Xbox 360 has typically been used as the lead development console for multiplatform games having launched a full year before PS3 and Wii and given its larger US installed base.

    In October, Midway developer Mike Bilder said developing first on PS3 allows for faster porting between PS3 and Xbox 360 without compromising the game experience.

    December 17th, 2008 | 22:49

    Ha!!! pick a game not riddled with bugs and designed for windows k thanks. That game was messed on every platform on release so i dont see that as being proof that the 360 is better i see it as the 360 version is hardly any different from the pc version so it had a few less bugs and was given basically the same patches.

    Better luck next time please try again.

    2nd what about assassins creed, cod4, gta4. those are just a few that look better on the ps3. And not to mention MGS4 again being the best looking game of all time. THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT

  46. Mr x
    December 17th, 2008 | 22:57

    1. windows has more bugs than any other software used lol
    2.graphics are much better in ps3 and also processing power.
    3. free built in wireless
    4. free online play
    5. ps3 has no rrod or games getting eaten
    6. ps3 can put your own operating system in
    7. can put any hdd in you want
    8. surf the net
    9. bluetooth headsets and six axis controllers and dualshock 3 aswell
    10. all games from 2009 are getting developed for ps3 and then converted down for xbox.
    11. if pc was easy to do the y is the pc always the last 1 released ( cos full of major bugs)

    And i can keep going on and on lol just face it xbox is old news and microsoft will do anything to get money lol they are so cheap and nast they are selling for less than £99 lol proves how much they must cost to make about £10 lol

    Actually as for the cure for cancer you can load up an option on the ps3 which allows stanford University to use your processing power to find cures specifically for Cancer SO THERE you big neg nancy. It is a basic function on all ps3’s originally called “folding at home” now called “Life with Playstation”.

    And thats a fact look it up.

    Look it up and go buy a ps3 so your mom doesnt get boob cancer for christmas!!!

  50. stop it now

    December 18th, 2008 | 01:12

    @54 Pc releases will often come last partly to to piracy but also due to multiple graphics chip sets and multiple other config issues on a pc. There is much more to ensuring a game will work on a pc than a standalone console

    one thing that xbox fans boys seem to forget is they bleet on about how cheap the 360 is, but in the long run ps3 is cheaper as just to play games online with 360 you are already down 40 quid a year & ps3 well blow me it’s free straight from the box only additional cost is optional ie: add on’s for game. Also microsoft are obviously feeling threatened by the release of home as they intend to bring out their own version or similar on 360.

    For the record the ps3 outperforms a quad core pc with 3 512 vid cards and 4 gbs of ram.

    Call of duty 4 & Assassins Creed look far superior on the ps3.

    Is it possible, that any of you could use some punctuation? Adding a period at the end of the sentence does not make it any better. If you’re trying to come off as intelligent (both sides), then try to make an effort to portray yourself as such. BTW, not EVERY game needs to have ‘the best’ graphics. Similar works just fine. Games are about the experience, and as long as they are fun, or whatever you get out of it, who cares? Not too mention that in 5 months, the graphics will be much better anyways. All systems have their pros and cons, and the competition between the 2 or 3 will only serve to make all systems better for us, the consumers.

    I’m sporting an NES, a Sega Genesis, a PlayStation, and an Xbox. Anyone who has something newer is a spoiled brat. Forget 360’s- I don’t care if they’ve fixed the rrod. Anyone who puts out a product that F’d is a deuchebag. And as long as blank bluray disks are 20 bucks I won’t even acknowledge the ps3.

    1. This topic is false and has no place in a “release” site

    2. Home-haters understand that A. This is BETA. B. If you expected a game (even saw a guy say “why PAY to play sims”) then you are obviously stupid, the main use of Home is to find other players with similar tastes/likes/games and be “friends” and game together. It sure beats going on forums and IRC channels to find each other.

    3. To all you 360 fanboys I dont understand why you are so bitter all the time, obviously both consoles are awesome and guess what! They have differences! A fact though is that many people sell their xbox360 to get a ps3.. Never been to a video game shop and saw a used ps3, but I do see quite some 360’s. I think the type of 360 owners who are trolling in the net hating ps3 all the time is the people who cant afford one and realize that ps3 is going to leave 360 behind in 2009.

    4. The super-geeks who say pc’s are the best console users are “noobs” etc.. Need to understand that only a expensive pc will play better than a 360 or ps3 and you still wont have the same style gameplay. Sofa+Controller+Big screen.

    I hate you all and you people make me want to see the world in flames.
    Thank you

    LMAO! r u on crack??you are really embarrasing yourself.

    also cod4 and AC does not look “far superior” on a ps3….you are blatently just making that up!! show me ONE article that says that…..they look almost identicle and reviewers have all agreed.I HAVE PLAYED BOTH GAMES ON BOTH PLATFORMS ON 42″ 1080P HDTV’s and they have VERY slight variations nothing that could be considered an advantage, they both look great as a matter of fact.

    the only thing ive read is that the ps3 has poor framerate issues on a lot of shared 3rd party games.(due to the difficulty devs are having currently with the ps3 hardware)

    please provide links to any reviews you have read which state anything different.i have both consoles and will always check out reviews before i decide which console to buy the game for and pretty much all the 3rd party games i have i have bought for the 360…..this is not just because there is never any real difference it is also comes down to the fact that the control pad is far better for the 360 and also even Xbox Live being arguably the better service.

    Hehehe, all i know ,Xbox is going to win :D :D ,outclassed by skill of microsoft xbox 360,no one sees a point in a console that only delivers a tiny margin in gfx , performace ie dont have to swap disk 2- 3 times ,extra 200 quids is not worth it,it should be like difference of say a ps2 vs ps3 but ,NOT ok i can see a line here and there ,that your not going to notice while driving a car ,blasting stuff at blazing speed,it just not justified and now everyone including people who buyed the ps3 are starting to wake up,its not next next gen its just another console wiht worse online features.

    Its called IgN go there read up a review for a game on both consoles the aliasing is always better on the ps3 which makes the overall picture look better or do you not know what aliasing is? Specifically assassins creed cod4 and GTA4 all have stated in the reviews that they look better on the ps3. Theres 3 but look at any game released across platform Its a fact the ps3 outperforms the 360 and in the titles i have mentioned a quad core pc. mind you none of the games i have mentioned were designed for pc so in the future with games specifically designed for these quad core rigs the quality might improve.

    I have seen them on a quad core pc first hand and they run better and look better on a ps3. But what ever keep giving microsoft your money cause you obviously know nothing about picture quality. The only thing the Xbox has the ps3 beat on is 15 year old fan boys and that’s fine by me. Oh and halo 3 the biggest title to date looked no different then halo 2 so eat it.

    Embarrassing myself eh? did I buy a Xbox? LoL do you have foot in mouth disease? Meh have fun dishing out the extra 300$ when the bluray drive comes out because your preferred system is already outdated.

    As for the article I would not be surprised at all if this was released by Ms because they seem to do nothing but talk in depth negatively about the ps3 instead of fixing their broken system that has been broken since the first ones were shipped out.

  67. im a cool guy and a microsoft fan boy, yea right!!

    Ok so since your 360 is so much better explain to me why I can run 360 games on max settings on my pc (dual core budget as heck) i.e. gears of war. but i have to have medium to low settings play stranglehold (which was designed for ps3 and tuned down for the 360)

    W/e i got a system that will last me 10+ years you got one that didn’t last 10 freaking months after launch without failing drastically which most companies would have offered a total recall but since its Ms and they don’t care and know that 15 year old halo brats will dish out $300 3-4 times.

    If you weren’t a fan boy you would have an unbiased take on this conversation which would enable you to see the performance of the ps3 to be far superior to a 360. You would also go and read the reviews you asked for and i provided to see that there are professionals that state the ps3 outperforms the 360 to say it doesn’t is stupidity.

    I have friends that worked( some still do and they are still receiving the same type and volume of calls since the release of the 360) for xbox when the 360 was released i know what a piece of trash they are a shame the rest of the world doesn’t get all the insider info i got.

    But yeah i am done with this conversation since you don’t have any idea of what you are talking about. Asked for proof i told you where you can find it. You didn’t go and read the reviews you asked for so you are obviously either illiterate or just plain ol’ignorant and choose to remain that way so you don’t have to admit your console is a piece of trash not worthy of even being a paperweight.

    Of course its easier to develop for PC, look how long they have been out. They have so many bugs because the hardware, and surrounding software is so diverse. Like how the Mac is more stable than PC, because they make software for particular hardware.
