Hacking Vita CFW leaked, Coldbird leaves the scene

[SuzieJoeBob]

The guy leaked the files to blackmail him. He said, and I quote from Coldbird:

By releasing these files, not only does Sony have the files to stop this exploit, but also the public is aware of what they need to do.

I win regardless of whether you release this yourself, or someone else patches the files I leaked to remove your protection, and there is nothing you can do to stop me. Unless, you have something to trade me.
Nothing to regret. Not my files, not my problem.

@#$%^& how can anyone be such an asshole?

I swear..... I want to whip him/her till his skin is shredded then dip him in saltwater, *insert other forms of torture here*...... and when he is about to die, I will save him and let him heal until he is fit enough to undergo the above regiment again. Rinse and repeat for as long as possible.

Are you talking about Coldbird or this "Sam" person? I can understand if you are talking about Sam, then I agree. If you are talking about Coldbird, then you are completely dense and unintelligent.

^LOL talking about the leaker. Why would I bitch about Coldbird since he did at least do something constructive? I mean I can understand him ragequitting (whether or not I agree with his actions is another matter).

Leakers are bad ragequitters are also pretty pathetic good riddance.

You know, the leaker just threw 4 months of the hackers work down the drain. I'd probably ragequit as well.

Well being as the guy is a hacker, why is he trusting a known Dbag with such important files? or leaving them open to Theft serious error in Coldbirds judgement...

One of his teams members gave the files to some other hacker to see if he could crack their protection. This hacker gave it to someone else, that person gave it to someone else etc. and eventually they ended up with this guy.

Wololo said he gave the files to the leaker? Apparently he'll explain later

No, he didn't. He said he gave them to Coldbird, who was not the leaker. Coldbird was the developer who made the leaked one. It was passed on to some beta testers (has to be done with big developments, can't just release it), one of the trusted beta testers abused that trust and passed it on to someone else and asked them to try and remove the protection Coldbird and his team had put on it. That person couldn't do it, but passed it on to someone else. This happened a few times before it eventually ended up in the hands of the person who leaked it.

According to Wololo, Coldbird used a different kernel exploit to the one in Total_Noob's version, and TN's version was the one Wololo gave to Coldbird. Coldbird looked at it, but then found another exploit I guess and used it. Which to me suggests that if Sony can crack the protection on Coldbird's, two kernel exploits will be gone instead of just one.

Thanks, that's explains it

i have faith in Coldbird and respect him.he will be back eventually,but till then it is a matter of time and i am greatful for the work he does.

 

[pistone]

just cant understand .........why releasing a cfw that
1.is not yours
2.you just dont need nor intend to work on it ????

 

[Kiaku]

So, the files that were being passed on were encrypted? And the beta-testers tried to decrypt it, but they couldn't? ColdBird self-encrypted the file, knowing that something like this could happen?
... Trapped in his plan since the beginning.

Yeah, pretty pathetic. He should be flagged.

That is actually amusingly moronic.

Top comment apparently posted a lot of the guy's personal information.

I'd be scared to open my mailbox. o.o

 

[jimmyemunoz]

Wololo broke Total_Noob's trust, not that I care. I wouldn't trust Wololo in the future if I had an exploit. Either way, I really don't care because I'm not a PSP/PS Vita developer.

 

[the_randomizer]

As far as I know, both people are butthurt.

 

[samljer]

This breakthrough never offered anything new.

Last I checked kernel-mode was new.

kernel mode is new, hes just being a quiff.

 

[Siveria]

Basically importing what can be done on the PSP already.
Not to mention the PSP is less than half the price of a Vita.
Let's not forget that you can pick up the majority of PSP/PSOne titles for less than $10.00.

The Vita will never be hacked.
Don't get your hopes up.

They said that about ps3 too, and it was hacked a while ago till sony patched it, and now there is a new one. Nothing is uncrackable, it just takes time till someone figures out how to do it.
