yeah, i did some research and noticed when you point to the address and replace it with the same address it bypasses it but you cant connect to the psn.
I tried bypassing the address as i was downloading it but it obviously refers to it first to even know that it needs a new update. I just want to know what it transmits from that address, i also know that every game uses that address to query for updates.
So it must be accessing a database of updates which returns what it is and how large it is. My theory is to use packet injection or some type of network software to tell it not to worry about the size/header file of the .PKG and to carry on installing.
I have noticed a few people have attempted hacks with cod 4 with this address but no one actually states what it does or how to manipulate it, apart from the bypassing of the address itself.
The only other way i can think of getting it on the system is through decrypting the whole hard drive. But i don't have the hard ware to test that theory.
All i i am asking from the community is some constructive thought.
Much obliged for the replies and views
these are the log files from ps3 proxy, it calls that update address, then checks your up to date with the firmware (as it signs to back in then goes to the download location which i replaced with something else. it downloads successfully then when it goes to install it says error has occurred as it expects the patch
