If you proceed, always , use an offline PS3 for testing, and never log into PSN with a modified save present on the system.
Bruteforce Save Data works because early PS3 firmware had weak random number generation for encryption keys, allowing a known-plaintext attack. On later firmware (3.56+), it relies on a database of precomputed keys — which is why it can't decrypt every save, only those with known key seeds.
