PSP’s IDPS can be used to unban your PS3, some strangers might be using your PSP’s identity right now to unban their own PS3
Yesterday, the all known Hacker Mr.Gas shared here on /Talk where the IDPS from the PSP could be found. Developers asked a few Years ago about ID Storage Dumps to create a Tool which should fix the ID Storage if it was corrupted, but Mr.Gas researched these Dumps and found out that the IDPS was stored in the 121 ID Storage Key (0x0121.bin). I could promptly confirm then at Offset 0x60 was a 16 Byte Value which looks very suspiciously to the IDPS from a PS3.
I made also a Video today how it was possible to dump the PSP IDPS
But what is the IDPS ?
The IDPS is a 16 byte value that contains console specific information like the Target ID and Model Type of the Device, now you could say “Yeah what’s so special about this?”.
Well the IDPS was involved in some tasks like the Activation of Content and the PlayStation Network. It’s also a unique identifier of your console! If you ever uploaded your “ID Storage Dump” from your PSP, Unfortunately Bad Guys with a banned CFW PS3 could grab these IDPS’s now and could spoof your Console to get unbanned and go Online. Sony seems only to check if the IDPS was Valid and not which Device was beyond of this IDPS. In other words, a guy with a banned PS3 could take a PSP IDPS and use it to get “unbanned”. If they happen to do something wrong again, both their PS3 and your PSP will get banned. The key point of this is, when someone steal one if these IDPS and gets banned the PSP was too banned and a innocent user will be hurt hurt for it.
Here is proof from me that it really works
Note from Wololo: The “bright” side of this is that if you own a PSP, and a banned PS3, you can unban your PS3 by reusing your PSP’s IDPS. Since the PSN is pretty much useless today for PSPs, you’re not risking much by “recycling” its IDPS for a device that needs it more, namely your PS3.
How to unban your PS3 from the PSN by recycling your PSP’s IDPS
If you own a PSP, and a PS3 that’s been banned from the PSN, you can unban your PS3 by spoofing its IDPS with your PSP’s IDPS. To do so, you’ll need:
- Install IDStorage Manager in the PSP/GAME folder of your PSP (note: depending on the version you get, you will need to create a folder “IDStorage” in PSP/GAMES, and put the EBOOT.PBP file in it. also make sure the file is named EBOOT.PBP, and not FBOOT.PBP, rename it if needed)
- Run IDStorage Manager from your PSP
- Run the dump
- Exit the app, and connect your PSP to your computer again, there will be a folder named “keys”, the file you want to open is named 0x0121.bin
- Open 0x0121.bin with an Hex editor, and grab the 16 bytes starting at address 0x60. Those 16 bytes are your PSP’s IDPS
- You can then use this value as the “spoof IDPS” entry on your PS3’s CFW (if it supports it) or any other Spoofer you typically use.
See the videos above for more details.
first
Nice trick! Could be useful.
You should add CFW to the title as it can be misleading. It only says its for CFW on step 6. Nowhere else. Nice article though.
Clever, though I’m thankfully not banned at the moment.
FIRST! Beat that
3 people already did, the noob is strong in you.
This is nice to know…be neat to unban my console so i can finally cross play BO2 games…
FIRST —–>
First!
Oh yeah… Im the king of the world! lol
Far from first, oh ur the king of something alright, king of noobs perhaps? lol
Nice news piece. I’m not currently banned as I take many precautions before signing on psn with my cfw ps3’s. I guess I just found abuse for the many psp’s I have laying around here. Thanks for the info.
Love it when the “F1R5TTTTTYYIFSTTTT!NNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!”FIRST!!!+++8++66” fools get put in their places.
NIce!!! Thanks for the info.
Awesome Sauce. Mines not banned but this is still nice to prevent the real one from being banned.
First, OMG I’m finally first, I’m the coolest person ever… Oh no, I forgot there’s a delay before comments are published, a few people already posted first before me, god I’m such an idiot.
The worst thing in the world would be an article on this site with no comments saying “First!”, I hope that never happens.
Now Sony will start checking to make sure the IDPS and the Device match.
I’ve tried this with my own PSP to unban my PS3, and it works, but I can only get the IDPS to be spoofed temporarily using PSNPatch. IDPSet says the IDPS from my PSP is invalid and will not change it. Anyone know how I can change it permanently?
Tools like IDPSet seems to expect are Targed ID with an 8X at the 6th Byte, also 00 00 00 01 00 8X (all Targed ID’s beginning with them exept the ARC they got 0xA0) and before you change something on the IDPS (which will break the IDPS, it’s also then invalid) wait a bit and let us Deal with it, i sure we will find an Way to got success 🙂
does it work on ps vita kexploit? yeah i mean does it can be use on ps vita >like a ark or tnv or
can i use this to access psp psn store in ps vita ?
Too bad I already bought a private CID and it happen that ihave a psp lying around here if only i knew this earlier.
Very nice, summing each PSP is a more cid market.
Good news for the lads in Spain and Brazil gives them more piracy power!
When i try and open the IDPS Storage its corrupt.
you need to click fast recovery first.
I do consider alll the ideas yoou have introduced for your post.
They’re very convincing aand will certainly work. Still, thhe postts
are too brief for novices. Could you plerase prolong thbem a
bitt from ssubsequent time? Thanks for the post.

is this still working as of June 1, 2016?
Nope. I tried it myself today. And when it didn’t work, I did more research and found this has been patched since at least December of last year.
