Hacking Contest

I’ve been taking part in very addictive hacking “contest” over at hax.tor.hu. I’ve managed to reach level 35 and am currently no.5 in the Top Ten list. My handle on it is codelogic. Highly recommended for those who enjoy puzzle solving and hacking.

PS3 Theme Extractor

I reverse engineered the PS3 theme file format (p3t). I managed to write an extractor for it. It is a “compiled” XML, i.e. an XML file converted to binary format using headers, offsets, etc. The background images in the P3T files are stored as JPEGs whereas the icons are stored in Sony’s GIM format, which seems to be a format optimized for texture loading. Since it wasn’t too complicated I wrote a parser in the extractor to convert GIMs to PNGs.
