According its developer, the scene veteran and PS3Xploit team member bguerville, PlayStation 3 Toolset (or PS3 Toolset) is “a new PS3 exploitation work” which evolved from development surrounding a new version of PS3Xploit’s tools. PlayStation 3 Toolset is a framework by bgeurville for building powerful PS3 tools!
These tools, which are currently at version 2.0.2 with some HAN v3 tools also available, include:
The NAND and NOR Flashers used to hack CFW-compatible consoles (minimum firmware of 3.56 or less)
Others including an IDPS dumper and a NAND/NOR dumper
Shifting focus back to PS3 Toolset, bguerville is leveraging a brand new exploit to make stuff work in the toolset which contains various useful tools to both non-developers and developers which are described in the section below. However, before discussing the tools present in PS3 Toolset – we’ll look a bit at its backstory which can be summed up as follows: When PS3Xploit team member habib continued researching into PS3HEN (a hacking solution for noCFW PS3s) with help from esc0rtd3w, bguerville decided to instead focus on his own research and tool/exploit creation which led to him eventually branching off his PS3Xploit tools’ into PS3 Toolset which provides a framework for creating flexible and powerful tools.
