Hacked PS3 bannabile anche fuori dal PSN

Console tribe news - Hacked PS3 bannabile anche fuori dal PSN

di: Luca "lycenhol" Trevisson

Secondo un anonimo utente di NeoGaf, Sony è in grado di bannare una console hackata anche senza che questa sia connessa al PSN.
Questo, sempre secondo il post, perché all’avvio della console, in presenza di una connessione di rete con relativa connettività su Internet, la console provvede a contattare i server della ditta giapponese per aggiornare alcuni dati.
In questa occasione sarebbe possibile per Sony rilevare la “manomissione” dell’hardware e bannare la console.
Di seguito il post originale con la sequenza delle operazioni che la console esegue in fase di boot, scoperta attraverso un port sniffing.
Ovviamente questo non accade se la console è disconnessa da internet.
Stay tuned!

Console Tribe non supporta la pirateria. Ogni commento per promuovere azioni illegali verrà punito col ban permanente.

On boot the system contacts the server and uploads the play list etc. this list alone is enough to get anyone that goes online banned as it shows the bootmanger etc. has been running. Here is the list and what they do, I port sniffed this a while ago before I went online with a retail unit >.> because I am not stupid hehe.

fus01.ps3.update.playstation.net > Update Server (sys updates)
mercury.dl.playstation.net > What?s new ads
nsx.np.dl.playstation.net > playstation store preview
nsx-e.np.dl.playstation.net > ads
(main file exchange connections)
us.np.stun.playstation.net > on boot initiates connection
ena.net.playstation.net > SSLv3 connection after above connection
dus01.ps3.update.playstation.net > secondary update attempt (could force updates)
auth.np.ac.playstation.net > SSLv3 authentication server
(destination servers)
service.playstation.net (has multiple IPs if only the ip address is blocked)
(Error Reporting)
creepo.ww.hl.playstation.net (uploads crash reports etc.)

Almost all connections cannot just be port blocked, the port will continue to increment until it connects, you have to block the entire domains.

Also a big point is that ALL computers on your network need to have these blocked not just the PS3’s MAC because if you are running a proxy for example to get patches, the computer you proxy to will just allow the connections right out to the open unless all local IPs are blocked from these sites as well.
