PS3 SAK (Swiss Army Knife) v1.00
Well, this has been sitting idle for a while, still a few bugs, missing a few non-listed features, but works well.
It is an installable otheros.bld file, which runs a custom application on the PS3.
Features:
Γ?ó Web Interface (via HTTP) that lets you do all of the below featured!
Γ?ó Check Blu-Ray Disk size
Γ?ó Format internal PS3 HDD
Γ?ó Back-up iSO to internal PS3 HDD
Γ?ó Back-up iSO to external EXT3 HDD
Γ?ó Back-up iSO via wired network, to Windows Network Share
Γ?ó Explore HDD (Linux side), and download files to a PC.
Γ?ó Explore Blu-Ray Disks, and download files to a PC (with UDF 2.5 Support!)
Note: With SAK v1.00 you can now dump your PS3/Blu-Ray disc images without installing PS3 Linux,
however, you must still format the PS3 HDD prior (as if you were going to install PS3 Linux) in
order to install/use the OtherOS-- this is a $ony requirement unfortunately.
Not so "feature" features:
Γ?ó Reboot console
Γ?ó Reboot console to PS3OS
Γ?ó Poweroff console
Installation:
Copy to /PS3/OTHEROS/ on a memory stick, CD-R etc, with the $ony otheros.self, and run "Install Other OS" from Settings > System Settings of the XMB. Then set default boot to OtherOS, reboot, and it will run!

Menu Options:
1) Use EXT3 Formatted External HDD
2) Use FAT32 Formatted External HDD
3) Use Windows Network Share
4) Backup to PS3 HDD
5) Get Blu-Ray Disc Size
6) HTTP Server Information
F) Format PS3 HDD - EXT3 (OtherOS Partition)
E) Exit, Return to PS3OS
P) Exit, Poweroff Console
R) Exit, Reboot Console
Note: You must have the Caps Lock ON when selecting a letter, or hold Shift down. Also, if you let it sit on the menu
screen idle it will give you a black screen (the screensaver built-in) after a few minutes so be aware of this.
Bugs:
FAT32 backup via Web is non-working atm (will in next rls, ran out of time to implement!)
To be Fixed:
NTFS write support, its enabled, but is totally broken, crashes the PS3 (so it's hidden)
"Whoops!" checks (to make sure the user isnt trying to back-up a Blu-Ray to the PS3 flash etc!)
