Scene Releases

Ok, so it’s 1 day old and the news is spreading fast so i thought we would give it a go to. The ps3 is hacked, still no crack info is out yet but here you can read more about it. It’s from the same guy that hacked the iphone (geohot) so it’s trustworthy. So in the memory of ScT, Race those PS3 games! As in Sony’s slogan: Play B3YOND. “live in your world, play in ours.” Welcome to the world wide web is what i say :-P Greets F.

Leaked builds of Windows 7 hitting file sharing networks are claiming to be "very, very possible FINAL RTM build."

More than one piracy scene group today released iso disc images that bear the build string and filename "7600.16385.090713-1255_x86fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GRMCULFRER_EN_DVD.iso."

It’s unclear how different this is from  build 7600 that leaked onto the internet last Sunday, though the filename indicates that it was compiled on July 13, 2009 at 12:55 p.m., making it a few days newer than the one previously leaked.

Microsoft did follow up with a comment on July 13, saying, "Just because a single build may have ‘leaked’ it does not signal the completion of a milestone such as RTM."

Furthermore, Microsoft’s Windows Communication Manager Brandon LeBlanc warned users against using leaked builds of Windows 7. "As always, beware of what you download. There are many bogus copies of Windows 7 floating around the Internet. More often than not, they contain a rather nice malware payload," he said.

"When Windows 7 hits RTM, it will be announced here," LeBlanc continued. "Until that happens, any builds you are likely to see on the web are either not the final bits or are laced with malicious code."

Dutch blog PS3 Sense reports that hackers have succeeded in loading backup games in the PlayStation 3, following an almost forgotten feat that was once promulgated by self-proclaimed hackers of Team ICE.

While German hacker and Team ICE member StreetSkaterFU demonstrated via video (view here – requires Apple Quicktime Software) how the feat was accomplished, in a surprising turn of events, PSP homebrew sceners Alek and Mathieulh confirmed that the exploit was actually doable and real.

A full video in Apple Movie format was released demonstrating how StreetSkaterFU was able to get Warhawk to run without the Blu-ray Disc. Despite the quality and size of the video, the developer claims that this demonstration is not fake. Take note, however, that both StreetSkaterFU and Alek say that this is just a proof of concept for the moment.

Moderator FreePlay of the QJ.NET Forums says that the exploit is actual pretty simple. But according to FreePlay, the exploit is only doable if you have a second hard drive handy and have a good sense of timing.

AMD’s newfound zest for life has made it look for what would really, really hurt the competition. The answer? the game developers. I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but Blizzard has grown pretty big these days. World of WarCraft has been an indescribable success. It’s been known for a while that Blizzard has been looking at implementing DirectX 10.1 with one of its future games. The fact is that it’s more than one, or two.

OK, so no one knows for sure but it is possible right?
Yes, it will soon be possible. Sony is releasing their new Bravia Internet Video Link exclusively for the Bravia of course (glad I bought a Bravia instead of an LG) to “Stream” it directly to your Bravia. There has to be a way to get the Audio & Video before it reaches your TV?
Possibly. In the future, scene groups or new products might do the job, either way watching it in the comfort of your home without having to go to the theater is great. To get this you have to buy the new $300 DMX-NV1 or pupposidly I read that you can use your PS3 instead.

Why you ask, cause these midgets always seem to find their way back in to the scene over and over and ENOUGH!
Use this ban-list the way you want or dont want its up to you.
We think this is one way to make it harder to “get back” after a ban untill someone cracks a better idea.
Sure, many of these idiots got dynamic ip, wich might change their ip a lot and then back on.
But some of them are static, and many only change last 3 digits so:
We strongly advice all SiteOP’s to use extreme caution when adding a new user with range matching any of below IP’s:
Also Affils traders sceneusers, check your sites ips, it may seem sweet but do you dare dig deeper?

There’s no program or app, just an NFO.
Interesting to know what’s happening in the scene.

There are many devices available today that are technically able to run BitTorrent, but the manufacturers choose to limit the usability of their devices. TorrentFreak chats to the developer of TorrentRelay, a service that allows you to download torrents on the PS3, iPhone and many other web-enabled devices.

So you have a brand new, super-powerful, web-enabled device that could easily run 3rd party software – if only the manufacturer hadn’t spent millions locking the device down so it can’t. Luckily, there are third party services that make it possible to put these gadgets to further use.

TorrentFreak spoke with Kevin Kowalewski of TorrentRelay, which is designed to bring BitTorrent functionality to platforms that don’t support a native torrent client, such as the PlayStation 3, Wii or iPhone.

As we had an iPhone to hand, we decided to give this system a go, choosing the easy mininova option (detailed below) and downloading a single .jpg image from a wallpaper pack. In just a few seconds the image appeared in Safari as promised, but due to limitations in the current version of Safari, it wasn’t directly possible to save the image. I know there is an addon somewhere that already provides this functionality, if only I could find it…but the file transfer component worked fine.

Here is a video showing the process on PS3. We follow up with an interview with Kevin below:

Just got an email saying “I’m a Valued Webroot costumer” but I never gave Webroot a dime. In the email it states I’m invited to test their beta software and I get a 90 day test period with 5GB storage. I love Webroot products so I might as well try the Beta of their newest app and see what their “Cutting Edge Webroot Technology” with “256-bit Military Grade Encryption” can do.
Expect Webroot AntiVirus with Antispyware and Firewall Beta this week and be sure it will be posted shortly after it’s released :-)

Hundreds of larger and smaller ISPs all over the world try to limit BitTorrent traffic on their networks. Unfortunately, most companies are not very open about their network management solutions, with Comcast as the prime example. Thanks to the Glasnost project, you can now test wheter your ISP is one of the bad guys.
