A shame this code is almost useless now, since Sony dropped Linux support. Can't wait for someone to get around to hacking the PS3 so we can use this again.

i'd like to see your code and maybe even test it some day :)

can't promise to look at it soon, but it's great that you managed to make something :)
do you have any preliminary results? like speed?

2009-10-01T22:15:29.437+02:00

i tried it. "./Makefile". but also the same error message "no authorization". so i think it is a problem with the system-configuration or the user-authorization. but also thx for your help. i'll try my best and i'll send you my Ps3Tibr when i finished it (and tested it) ^^.

2009-10-01T22:05:37.426+02:00

sounds like yellowdog is in your way somehow... i have never used yellowdog, so i'm not sure i can help you. Did you compile psebr yourself? or are you running the binary? I built them on ubuntu... i don't think that should be much of a problem, but you never know :)

2009-10-01T21:56:56.164+02:00

first thx for your help. "..."=console in-output
1. i run psebr-md5 in a terminal "./Psebr-md5 (md5 hash) -c loweralpha"
2. after some time it (the terminal or whatever-i have yellowdog 6.1 with all updates. i dont know if there is a virusscanner on it) told me that there were found viruses in the spu threads. "virus found on spu threads" nothing else and then it interrupt working.
3. after trying it again. "./Psebr-md5 (md5-hash) -c loweralpha" it told me "no authorization"
4. first i rebooted the system but nothing changed after it. then i start the programm with root-privilegies "su"-"root passwort"-"./Psebr-md5 (md5-hash) -c loweralpha"
5. ten the terminal writes it again "no authorization" so i thought that the programm was damaged, so i copied it from my computer to my ps3.
6. then i tried it again. but also the error message "no authorization" this is the only thing it writes.

i dont crack 2 hashes in row. at first hash 1 after cracking, hash 2-and with hash 2 i get this problem. i dont know if yellowdog has a barrier or something like that. i deactivate the firewall but i dont know if there is a virusscanner still running ^^.

2009-10-01T21:40:04.298+02:00

i have no idea what is going on, how can psebr tell you it has a virus in the spu threads? are you running some sort of virusscanner in your linux? and please give exact console output. Is the problem solved after rebooting the system? can you never crack 2 hashes in a row? Are there still spu threads running from the first attempt?

2009-10-01T21:29:24.741+02:00

hi niggebrugge.my first problem is that yesterday i cracked some md5-hashes with psebr-md5; everything was fine. today i cracked one hash, while the second hash the programm told me that he found a virus in the spu threads. after this error message it always tells me the same error mesage when i type in "./Psebr-md5 (md5-hash) -c loweralpha". the error message is "no authorization". okay, i entered su and then the root-password so i had root-privilegies but it is also the same problem "no authorization". I dont know waht i have to do ^^. the second problem is, that i change the psebr-md5 to crack ntlm hashes. today i was finished and want to test it. but it also said "no authorization". maybe you can help me. ^^

2009-10-01T20:35:08.848+02:00

hello. after i change something on psebr because i want to make psetibr ^^ the terminal said me an error no authorization. so first i thought that i must have root privilegies. but it wasnt so. so i cant test my new programm. but also psebr said the same no authorization. please help ^^

2009-09-21T23:29:30.774+02:00

sorry to disappoint you, but no way you'll get 11M passwords/s with WPA... I don't think ps3 will be much faster then a fairly fast Intel core2quad or core i7.

2009-09-21T23:19:51.253+02:00

Indeed, aircrack-ng has the option to use a wordlist. But the problems are :
1) where can i get the list with all the generated words having length 8 [major issue ]
2) How can i store it ? This problem is partially solved, because i can mount an NFS partition into the ps3, so i can use the storage space of my actual HDDs.

Estimating the power of the ps3 cores, and as far as i seen in some presentations, it can achieve the speed of 11 milion passwords / s.

I'll seach for some dictionary words, but because the target language is romanian, it's tricky. This is why i opt for "live" brute forcing. I'll let you know if i find smth useful

ok, then i partially misunderstood your question :...

2009-09-21T20:23:02.965+02:00

ok, then i partially misunderstood your question :)

can't you just pipe a wordlist to aircrack-ng? you don't want to start real brute forces with WPA for now anyway... speed is far too low for that... i don't think my code will be anywhere useful here.

2009-09-21T18:48:09.383+02:00

Aha.. i get your point.
But actuall, this is not what i need.
Following this howto : http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=cracking_wpa#step_4_-_run_aircrack-ng_to_crack_the_pre-shared_key i need 2 programs :
1 bruteforce passwords generator [ simple ] and 1 aircrack-ng running on cell [ http://trac.aircrack-ng.org/svn/branch/aircrack-ng-cell/ ].
Aircrak is doing all the hard jobs [ creating the sha-1 , etc etc.. ] . It only needs the dictionary list of words to try. Here it comes JTR in place. It just creates the list of possible passwords. And because JTR is not meant to run on cell processors... i'm stuck here atm. This is why i was considering using your program ... Or maybe do you know an easier way to modify your program , in this scenario?

2009-09-20T23:03:35.832+02:00

Psebr generates MD5 hashes, you don't want that for WPA cracking... you'll need SHA-1... and not just 1 time, but like 4096x4 SHA-1 calculations. That explains why you are cracking at such a slow rate.

It might be interesting to see how fast PS3 will be on WPA, as it's so lengthy, much less branching and such.

In short, you'd need a full rewrite of Psebr. You might just as well skip using aircrack-ng on that... or the other way around, implement CELL code in aircrack-ng :)

2009-09-20T22:02:02.812+02:00

The other program is aircrack-ng and i want to bruteforce an WPA key.
The normal way is to generate the keys with john the ripper, then pipe all the keys to aircrack-ng.
The problem is that john the ripper [ in it's free version ] is not written for ps3 platforms. So.. i cant unleash full power of ps3.
This is why i'm asking you about the program. But.. do you know a better way to make such a bruteforcer using the full power of ps3?
Also.. When i try to crack the wpa key with my computer.. i only generates 1300 keys / s. This is just silly...

Thx
