Sony got hacked again!

Two weeks after the big Playstation Network hack Sony s Greek music homepage got hacked!

Username, maill addys and real names got stolen from all customers that were registred on their site, this could be another big leak in sony s never ending hack story!
Another funny point here, someone has realeased the hole data that got stolen from sony s music page on pastebin.org

All data has been posted, but the hacker deleted the phone number and also the users passwords before posting, seems to be great statement to scare them but not kill them right now!

In fact its not possible to run a website 100% secure so it cant be hacked, but what sony does here is horrible, their security got broken in such simple ways that everyone can just wonder around why havent i tried to =P

Everyone that is registred on sonymusic.gr should change his password right now, dont know what the hacker is planning with the data that got leaked so long...

Sony playstation network hacked again!

Not so much time has passed and the PSN (Sony Playstation Network) got hacked again, only 48 hours after the playstation etwork got relaunched and was up again a new security hole was found and missused.

Maybe the same hackers are involved as on playstation networks first take down.
The new security hole is described as follows:

You can use the forget your password button on the PSN to retrieve a new password, the clue is to get a new passwort you only have to enter 2 criterias, your Name and your date of birth. So long if the crew that hacked it before is after this security hole again they already got all datas from every user of the PSN so they know their name and also their date of birth.

In most parts of the world sony has now taken down the feature to change your users password to get rid of this failure, but it seems they handle this real filthy :) i think if sony gets another hit in its face it has to capitulate!

Though the hackers have not been captured at all, also the FBI is after them - it seems they handle this quite smart :)

XBOX 360, and some wasted brute disks!

My Xbox 360 an very old Model of it, i bought it in July 2006, it was the first Model with an Heat Pipe and also the new Hitachi DVD Drive, this version doesnt tend to get overheated and destroy itself :D so it runs and runs and runs till now.

The only Problem im facing right now is, my console needs around 15 Minutes to get warm before i can play any game. This means i insert an DVD and then i sit and press the A-Button on my wireless controller to let the drive eject and close again, yeah around 50 Times then it starts Reading the DVD and voila game is up and running.
After this treatment every game runs within the first 3 Tries the whole day, till i let my XBOX cool down around an hour or so.

Yesterday i thought PORTAL II is available for 360 and i thought, i must have it! Go and Buy!
But the Problem, Sunday no store got opened for me, so a called a friend of mine and i knew he bought it alredy ;) so i started over to him and asked if i can borrow the game.
Answer was no, cause he told me i never take care of this game and he newly bought it and dont want it to get wasted to fast by a person like mine. Uhm alright i said. Lets ->

 

So i flushed out of my pants an fresh Verbatim Dual DVD Layer brute and told hmi okay let me do a Backup and i take both games with me at home but i only will play the backup so your game will not be harmed! 

about an hour later i got a fresh Backup and an Original of Portal II 

Back home i tried to play the Backup - but then - my XBOX told me DVD Video ready to play.

I clicked Play a thousand times but it wasnt able to play that game, so i backed the original Up again and again and an fourth time again. And i wasnt able to figure out why it wouldnt work...

I backup the game using IMGBURN in Windows, but no Luck.

growisofs -speed=2 -dvd-compat -Z -use-the-force-luke=dao -use-the-force-luke=break:1913760 /dev/{{laufwerksname}}={{isoname}}.iso

I Used the Force of Luke with Linux but nothing else happened.

My last try was an APPLE Mac with OSX 10.3, no way to get an DUAL LAYER BREAK at the Point given for XBOX 360 games, so an OSX user would never have the chance to burn an 360 game in any way. I loughed myself a bit in this sad situation when the apple users began to talk about VDPC with WIN and DARWIN :)

Long Story short.

I lastly figured out why the game would not work on my console... So i have to tell you if you got the same Problem... Download this file here Activate_iso.rar and burn it like you would burn any game for Microsoft X360 i prefered IMG BURN on windows, cause there are some Special settings that should be done ...
After burning this 250 MB Image to an dual layer dvd you can insert it into your Xbox 360 and let it loud about 1 Minute after that put your Backupped game into your DVD Drive and voila :D it would load the game, no need of burning it 4 or 5 times ;)

use this settings for IMGBURN:
