Chapter 5 FORENSIC ANALYSIS OF A PLAYSTATION 3 CONSOLE Scott Conrad, Greg Dorn and Philip Craiger Abstract The Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) is a powerful gaming console that sup- ports Internet-related activities, local file storage and the playing of Blu-ray movies. The PS3 also allows users to partition and install a secondary operating system on the hard drive. This “desktop-like” func- tionality along with the encryption of the primary hard drive containing the gaming software raises significant issues related to the forensic anal- ysis of PS3 systems. This paper discusses the PS3 architecture and behavior, and provides recommendations for conducting forensic inves- tigations of PS3 systems. Keywords: Sony PlayStation 3, gaming console, forensic analysis 1. Introduction The Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) hit the Japanese and North American retail markets in November 2006 (March 2007 in Europe) [13].

With the adoption of Bluetooth® wireless technology, it allows up to 7 players to play at the same time, without having to attach any other external device such as a multitap. In addition, by simply plugging a USB cable to the controller, users can seamlessly switch from wireless to wired connection and automatically charge its battery while the controller is in use. Controller battery lasts up to 30 hours when fully charged *1). The new Memory Card Adaptor enables users to transfer data saved on Memory Cards for PlayStation® and PlayStation®2 onto the hard disk drive of PS3. To transfer data, users need to simply insert their Memory Cards to the Memory Card Adaptor connected to PS3 via a USB port. In December, BD Remote Control will also become available, which enables users to easily operate movies and music content on BD (Blu-ray Disc) and DVD on PS3.
