Do a barrel roll!
I loaded up cod4 and started sniffing as I entered "Multiplayer" and found some interesting stuff (I am from the UK so results may be different elsewhere). The PS3 establishes connections to the following:
1. fuk01.ps3.update.playstation.net (PS3 firmware check)
2. cod4-ps3.auth.mmp3.demonware.net (COD4 SERVER AUTHENICATION)
3. cod4mw-ps3update.charlieoscardelta.com (COD4 PATCH CHECK?)
4. cod4-ps3-live.lsg.mmp3.demonware.net (COD4 SERVER ??)
Ok. So, number 1. fuk01.ps3.update.playstation.net, this is the firmware check. I did a bit of research and found out that the PS3 connects to this DNS and locates a text file on that DNS, which is located here = fuk01.ps3.update.playstation.net/update/ps3/list/us/ps3-updatelist.txt
It then compares the information in that file with your PS3 firmware version. It is basically checking if the firmware is up to date. NOW THE INTERESTING PART. The firmware check can be bypassed, SOURCES:
1. [url]www.haxnetwork.net/showthread.php?t=9745[/url]
2. [url]www.ps3news.com/forums/ps3-online-news/ps3-firmware-version-check-bypassed-thread-55789.html[/url]
3. [url]www.ps3-hacks.com/forums/about930.html[/url]
Read those sources before you continue reading.
These people found a way to bypass the firmware so you can still play PS3 games online without updating the firmware.
So the firmware check is at fuk01.ps3.update.playstation.net and the text file it checks with the ps3 is located at fuk01.ps3.update.playstation.net/update/ps3/list/us/ps3-updatelist.txt
IMPORTANT:
The PS3 COD4 Patch check only happens once, and thats when you load up COD4 and go to multiplayer to play online.
SO we know that the game is connecting to:
cod4mw-ps3update.charlieoscardelta.com
WHAT IF WE CAN BYPASS THE GAME PATCH CHECK USING THE SAME METHOD FOR BYPASSING THE FIRMWARE CHECK?
What we need to know is the path to the text file hosted on at cod4mw-ps3update.charlieoscardelta.com. IF we can find out the location of the "Patch check file" we can easily manipulate this using DNS spoofing and we can get online with our hacks on the memory stick and play in PUBLIC GAMES.
I assume its something like this cod4mw-ps3update.charlieoscardelta.com/blahblah/somedirectory/blah/update.txt
Now if you have any information about this or you have any information/findings about packet sniffing, any ideas regarding dns spoofing or packet injection please do contact me on [email][email protected][/email]
UPDATE: I checked commview and the file that the PS3 is trying to get from cod4mw-ps3update.charlieoscardelta.com is :
/BLES00148/1.3/GAME.VER
However, I cannot view the file because when I browse to
cod4mw-ps3update.charlieoscardelta.com/BLES00148/1.3/GAME.VER
It says file not found. So im guessing only the PS3 has the rights to get that file. Somehow we need to get this file onto our hard drives or maybe we could just block the update check from happening?

The problem is, if you block the ps3 connecting to You must login or register to view this content. you wont be signed into psn, u will get booted off. If we do block it, the patch request does not come up, but like i said u wont be signed into PSN.
I think it is possible to block the patch request but still be signed into PSN,
cod4mw-ps3update.charlieoscardelta.com may be responsible for the patch check

I think i can get you that file you wanted, you said that when you browse to the file it prompts that the file doesn't exist. If we can find out the User Agent for the playstation 3 i can spoof the url into believing my browser is a ps3 and i can get the file. What happens after that i don't know but i think i can get you it, what you do with it after that is unknown to me. What is the potential outcome of gaining access to this "/BLES00148/1.3/GAME.VE" file 
?

Ok so i tried with Mozilla/5.0 (PLAYSTATION 3; 2.00)
as my user agent and the site still prints the file does not exist
i have another idea, i will get back to you guys soon and if it works i will post it up here.

Good work man, nice to see people trying stuff
Do let us know how you get on, some real progress could be made here.
I'm sure we can find some use for bypassing the patch check :p

I also tried connecting my ps3 up through my pc with the ps3 proxy gui tool. and i went to C:\System32\drivers\etc and editted my hosts. file and added the line
127.0.0.1 cod4mw-ps3update.charlieoscardelta.com
unfortunately im running windows in virtual machine as my main OS is linux.
So if someone would try what i just tried then it might work.
By adding that line to the hosts file it blocks your pc's connection going to that url.
Therefore ... blocking the patch.
It could work ? if someone needs help on trying it then just ask me.

seems like it could work because i kind of have an idea on how to work it but im using ps3 proxy server gui like you but i dont know where to put what address's so any help then il try it and report back im doing this right now
