CHCon BEN KNIGHT – CLASSIC PLAYSTATION HACKING, https://2019.chcon.nz/talks/ben/
The PlayStation Classic is a throwback to the original PSX; for the nostalgic types. Sony ships this cheap Linux box with an open source emulator to play 20 original PSX games. But wait, no Crash Team Racing? The PlayStation Classic has been out long enough that there’s plenty of tooling to load more games. But how do the tools work? What’s the hax? Ben will demonstrate the manual exploitation of the vulnerable update process. Flash storage was dumped, UART serial connected and crypto mistakes were made.
- The box came with the private key embedded. Why???
- Also sounds like a fun box to play games from, if only I had more inputs on my TV ...
