Hackers find a way to get all Platinum trophies

PS3 hackers have found a way for jailbroken PS3 owners to make any game platinum instantly. The hack requires a few things including a jailbroken PS3, PS3 FTP client, PC FTP client and a hex editor. Keep reading to check out a video inside.

"You've succeeded in doing something pathetic."

Seriously, what the hell. Who would want that, what's the point? Do people even remember that all this achievements/trophies craze didn't exist 5 years ago.

Now you don't even have to play the game, but the list says you've completed it 100%! You're a true gamer, congratulations! Awesomeness flows through your veins.

...Not.

lokiroo4204981d ago

What makes it even more pointless is that that psn name will never be online for anybody to see or compare. Retarded^2

blitz06234981d ago (Edited 4981d ago )

Then it's gonna be easy identifying hackers if they actually do that to most games. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

Dragun6194981d ago

Dont see the point. Jailbroken ps3s can't go online so they can't show off.
And new games are starting to require the latest firmware so they can't play them. Their in a position to have to buy another ps3 to play the latest games and enjoy online gaming.

SilentNegotiator4981d ago

It's not like they show up online.

Let these losers feel good about themselves by unlocking trophies for themselves alone to know about (I almost said, "them and their friends", but then I laughed and made the necessary cuts to the sentence).

sikbeta4981d ago (Edited 4981d ago )

lol this is so pointless, how lame hackers can be, what's the point of the trophies if you don't play the games? also what lokiroo420 said is true, they can have all the trophies they want but they CAN'T sync with PSN...

ThanatosDMC4981d ago

That's what i was thinking since they cant connect to the PSN. No point.

PSFan1004981d ago

Even if this is real, they can't sync them online. If one day they do manage to sync them online Sony can easily determine they have cheated since every trophy has a time and date when unlocked. It goes to show you, Jail break is stupid and not worth it. I'm sticking with official updates, thanks.

WhittO4981d ago

Ye haha, what good are trophies if you cant even show anyone online, o and you didn't actually earn them so you still have no skill..

evrfighter4981d ago

Lol. Well it looks like another feature made it to death row.

HSx94981d ago

of course it pointless, but non the less it's an exploit, also hackers must find the smallest things before you can fully hack anything, these guys are like 80% done and are about to get their jailbroken consoles working online, I am probably going to get 50 disagrees from the hardcore PS3 fans, but it's the truth.

jebabcock4981d ago

i have no qualms with homebrewers, but stuff like this makes me very unhappy.....

Red_Orange_Juice4981d ago (Edited 4981d ago )

Once they fiond a way to go online Sony will ban their asses, Sony have access to all trophy info, they can find shady ones, like all trophies gained in short period of time.

nveenio4981d ago

To go online, they have to connect to Sony's servers... Unless they hack Sony's servers, they're sh!t outta luck. A simple FTP spoof isn't going to cut it.

acky14981d ago

Quite impressive that they've found a way to do that tho. I don't think they've hacked the trophies to show the world their gaming skills, rather their hacking skills. It's more of a personal achievement to them.

Everyone is saying hacking like this is pointless but so is spending the time trying to get the platinum trophy the legit way anyway.

pustulio4980d ago (Edited 4980d ago )

They hacked da trophies! Holy shit PS3 is doomed!

HSx94980d ago (Edited 4980d ago )

no *facepalm*... Sony has a firmware checker on the console, that basically tells SONY servers that the PS3 is out of date, they would need to find that specific spot, and change some things to trick the Sony Servers that they are up to date, why would you hack the sony servers? Sony servers do not have a space just for you, <_<

Disagree all you want, I actually know what I am talking about.

nveenio4980d ago

That's great that you're so smart. Unfortunately, Sony is smarter. Even if their servers could be tricked, it would only be a matter of minutes before Sony shut the "trick" down and hackers would have to start all over.

Lol how pathetic I imagine people with a hacked PS3 inviting over their friends and showing this to them.

"Look I got every trophy on every game even though I can't connect to my PSN and get online trophies"

Plzz only Chuch Norris can do that. -_-

Brklynty14981d ago

actually id love to umm...WOULDNT HAVE TO BE ONLINE TO SYNC THE TROPHIES?! Like this is exactly why i say jailbreaking/hacking a PS3 is a WASTE OF TIME!

punkpop1014980d ago

Saving money instead of giving to stupid companies is not a waste of time.When a disk with it's package costs merely 5 usd how the fuck can they charge 60 bucks for a game?I gladly accept disagrees since ps3 fanboys know their job.

Dee_914980d ago

u have the IQ of a 5 year old
y would they sell a game they spent millions making it for $5 ?

Ocelot5254981d ago

well I remeber a pc fanboy article on N4G who listed the reasons why fallout 3 was better on the PC, one of them was the ability on the PC to unlock achievements trough the FO3 commandline

my point is that there ARE retards who think cheating is a feature

memphis24981d ago (Edited 4981d ago )

how is it pathetic? just because someone figure out how to hack a ps3, makes them pathetic?? i would like to see you trying to achieve something that people have never heard of. it's the concept of hacking, not the concept of i can get platinum in every game instantly. it takes intelligence to hack something!

4981d ago
mastiffchild4981d ago

So, it isn't pathetic? Of course it is. ~If these people were intelligent they'd understand how spurious it was unlocking trophies like this, they'd understand the harm that comes from piracy and they'd probably have a decent job to go with their computer skills-if I was so inclined as to enjoy messing around with computers and tech like these guys(and , yeah, being able to do it is a talent but it isn't as if that many of us would even TRY because most people have some sense and morals to go with their god given smarts)I'd be doing something both more entertaining anhd effin useful than this rubbish.

Intelligent? Maybe. Talented?Sure. Any class? Any sense? Any gaming skill? Anything to be proud of? Certainly not and they shoukldn't be lauded. They hacked a games console and the only real point nin that is to steal other talented people's work and damage gaming for everyone else. They are the direct and indirect enemies of gaming and the fact one of them would show off with this is almost the definition of pathetic in my eyes. It's the worst thing in the world to be talented and to use that talent destructively and THEN to want your ego stroking for doing so is the killer. Well done for devoting your time and skill to something wholly unpleasant you lowlives.

If they had any sense or class to go with their ability they might be doing something useful or morally defensible with it. It was the decision to hack the PS3 and the decision to do this with trophies and then brag about them that actually makes them feeble and not the fact they had the skill to do it-it takes skill to pull off a bank heist but you don't see those with savings applauding the bank robbers for their brilliance, do you?

Croash4981d ago (Edited 4981d ago )

You misunderstood my comment I guess.

I never said the hacker was pathetic, I know nothing about the person in the video.
I was talking about the hack itself. It has absolutely no use and at the end of the video the uploader wants you to click a link (which isn't in the Youtube description) for a "how to" guide.

And to me, using a hack to get Platinum trophies, -> not taking into account that they can't be synced <- and the fact the uploader wants to share his method with people is something that is just lame.

You're talking about something different in your comment. You're saying that the hacker was showing his PS3 hacking skills just like Eamon said.
Well I have nothing to say about that since mastiffchild's last paragraph says it all.

memphis24981d ago

very well said. well my bad, your statement just made it sound like it was pathetic on what he did. glad to clear things up

punkpop1014980d ago

Ps3 fanbots can't get it.You're damn right.

Dee_914980d ago

u r reading wrong . nobody said hacking the ps3 was pathetic but the Trophy hack itself is pathetic and pointless

Eamon4981d ago

lol guys, it's not so much that they are doing it for the sake of having trophies.

It's just hackers showing off how much control they have over the PS3 now.

wsoutlaw874981d ago

Its not showing anything if they cant even sign in.

memphis24981d ago

i'm going to disagree with you just cuz everyone else disagree with my comment. yet your post is the same topic just in different wording. oh well

pacosanchez884981d ago

@mricecreamman, congrats you just earned even more disagress. the difference between his comment and yours was that yours was a personal attack (against croash) while his was not. "it takes intellegence to hack something" "i would like to see you try and do something..."

should i really have to explain this to you?

mastiffchild4981d ago

The fact they feel the need to show off gives away an even sadder motive than piracy, doesn't it? Look at me! I'm a pirate! Y'arrr! Grown up skills in the hands of moral toddlers.
We all know the real reason for hacking any console so these little sideshows they put on to show off are even sadder, sadder still if they think anyone believes their BS and sees this as anything better than someone wasting their talents. Personally, I'd like to see the laws tightened up so people who facilitate what amounts to theft can be charged with the same gusto reserved for burglers, robbers and such in the everyday world. They come across as smug, insecure little boys too concerned about their e-peens to realise what cocks they look.

memphis24981d ago

lol personal attack. what is the difference on what you just did to me? give me all the disagrees for all i care. i am done lol.

pacosanchez884981d ago (Edited 4981d ago )

@mricecreamman
i could care less if i "presonaly attacked" you or hurt your feelings, i was explaining the reason for your disagrees. if i get disagrees for anything i say, im not going to bitch about it and randomly disagree with another user like you did.

FACTUAL evidence4981d ago

Anyone notice that the trophies didn't have times? Yeah I dare you to upload those trophies...Ban hammer much?

bjornbear4981d ago (Edited 4981d ago )

i thought the fun part of trophies was...attaining them

this defeats the purpose of the trophies in itself...

Eamon - but the control is absolute...the PS3 is in essence a computer (even a washing machine has a "computer")

next news

"Hackers run Windows 7 on PS3"

its only a matter of time =P

Christopher4981d ago

Don't see the point when you can't connect to PSN...

vhero4981d ago (Edited 4981d ago )

This is truly the lamest thing you can do PERIOD theres hacking for homebrew which is worthwhile. There even hacking for backups which at least some people agree is a good thing. But only retards would do this.

You also would give Sony proof you hacked your console doing this its like sticking a flag up saying HEY I HACKED MY CONSOLE!

Why can't people just used for cheats or something for offline gaming?? I mean I miss my action replay I mean sure some people didn't agree with them but some games are just too hard for some people.

avengers19784981d ago

I'D rather earn them, Then you know they actually mean something.

fuckitimout4981d ago

and online kdr stat tracking since they just ruin the real 'just have fun' factor. games people. games.

bustamove4980d ago

Agreed. This hacking thing is getting really stupid now.

SephireX4980d ago (Edited 4980d ago )

Could the hackers not transfer their profiles from the jailbroken PS3 to another PS3 and go online with that? Its pretty pointless anyway but for comparability purposes, it would be annoying if a lot of people did this because the system would become illegitimate. Though it would be useful for games that have one stupid trophy that is not fun to get and you need it for the platinum. For example, the FFXIII "Item Finder" trophy.

Isnt the point of tophies to... i dont know... earn them?

LOOK_AT_THIS_I4981d ago

Lmao. Not in this day and age where these asshats expect a trophy/award just for participating. : )

To everyone who keeps sticking up for these hacking douchebags hope you are still online when they are running around in cod/moh etc... With auto rpg's and grenade launchers cheating because it's their system and their game so they can ruin more shit for legit people. Anyone familiar with code 9 already knows where this will lead if these jackasses keep this up and Sony doesn't start banning their machines.

THC PRITCHARD4981d ago

lol and the point of this is what
Nobody will ever see them online only on ya stupid videos

man what time wasters

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow5d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1824d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie4d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere3d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney2d ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno4d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno4d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii3d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno3d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
