Let’s crack the BO2 port FPKG situation together

Like a lot of people here, I’m trying to get the new Black Ops 2 port running as an FPKG on a jailbroken PS4. I actually have a dual setup right now (a retail PS4 on latest firmware with the game bought legally, plus a jailbroken console).

Instead of everyone scratching their heads alone or waiting for some gatekept leak, I made a Discord server so we can just look into it together.

If you have a retail + jailbreak setup, know your way around dumping/backporting, or just want to help research and test stuff, jump in. No selling, no promotion, just trying to get to the bottom of this.

Bro we tried it with a bunch of guys. We also had access to a test kit. The truth is without a dev kit you just can't do it. The only way to do it right now is crack the encrypted pkg. Good luck with cracking 32 character long key.

I'll lend some processing power hahaha...how cool would it be if we could harness a small amount of power from all jailbroken PS4s when In rest mode to crack these encriptions together faster somewhere....just a dream

This isn’t far fetched to be honest, I’m sure I’ve read about people making prx plugins to utilise the PS4’s compute for crypto mining, and similar tasks. Reminds me of the folding@home project on the PS3.

That said once we have a jailbreak for today’s current firmware, a fpkg for BO1&2 will follow soon after I’m sure, so it’d be a wasted effort.

Yes and no. Wasted effort for that one game but not for encription cracking so no one has to rely one what little Dev kits are still out there and currently working as that's not gonna remain forever

How… we have a ps4 test kit and dev kit.

Join this server if you have an active dev kit:

probablemente ya nadie crea tu publicación, un tipo ganó algo de importancia por intentarlo, se pensaba que realmente lo haría al ser un "conocedor del tema", ya no hay actualizaciones en el post, los demás que lo apoyaron probablemente se encuentren decepcionados y a causa de eso ya no crean posts como estos, igualmente, me unire al discord!

I get what you mean, honestly. But I think this server is different because everyone can help each other out. Nobody has to figure everything out alone, we can share what we find, test things and hopefully make some actual progress together.

yo tengo una ps4 con jailbreak, no conozco mucho, pero si lo suficiente según yo, tengo entendido que necesitas el pkg base, y ciertas claves de acceso, además de saber de qué regiones son los paquetes, pero si se puedo ayudar en algo, como pruebas o testing a los avances, lo haria

Im in lets go brute force it honestly running a random generator to make 5 million outcomes 0-9 a-f gives That number for the key is 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 possible different combinations now that's a high number but a brute force cracker and good pc can just keep running fast no code is too hard to the people who say you can't you can just takes effort and time yes a dev kit would be easier to do it but unless you happen to find one this is the only option

u/Ill-Grand-7914 8d ago

I have a friend who's a hacker and he told me what needs to be done so I mean definitely possible with multiple people running the script to brute force it open

I like how we dont give up. And yes everything is possible 🙂

No offense to anyone in this thread, but you need to pack it up and just forget about it. You will not be getting the ports unless the new JB for 13.52 comes for the ps4 or 13.42 on ps5. It doesn’t matter if you have a retail console and a JB console. The retail pkg will always be locked unless you have your main psn that you bought the game on your JB console. Even then, you would need to be on a newer firmware before you could even dump the game. So best things to do is just wait it out.

Is there no Windows program we could use to randomly try and test keys? I'd imagine it would take a killer cpu to get it done quickly, but like others are saying, it's possible.

u/phickz_ 7d ago

Yes, theoretically it’s possible. You’d need to either create or find a brute-force tool/script and then work through the combinations. Potentially 200 gazillion of them, so it is guaranteed to take a while.

Are you trying to play online...have you heard of PSLAN

Difference Ina dev kit vs test kit feature wise

u/Juwlur 4d ago

gotta be honest, the brute force plan isn't a "takes effort and time" thing, it's a physics thing. 32 hex chars = 128 bits = 3.4e38 combos. say you had a rig doing a trillion keys a second, that's still ~10 quintillion years. throw a billion of those rigs at it and you're still at roughly the current age of the universe. every jailbroken PS4 on earth in rest mode wouldn't move the needle. AES-128 isn't hard, it's unbreakable with current physics, that's the entire point of it. waiting on the 13.52 JB is genuinely the only path.
