all i need is a little bit of help trying to find a way to get linux on the ps3 i have fw 3.42 so if anyone can help it would be great thanks

They don't ban your MAC address, they ban your PS3's console ID.

Its encrypted and sent in packets whenever connecting to the PSN.
You can use wireshark or another packet capturing program to find it.
Basically its your PS3's "hidden" serial number - just like how xbox's are hard to unban without another xbox cpu id's.

oh alright thanks for letting me kno but do you kno how we can change the console id?

oh ic that is some useful information thanks

Nope, that's above my knowledge, but shadowhunter has provided you with a possible method.

can you provide a link? thanks

showdow hunters method could possibly work, it means you have to packet edit though, and thats illegal pretty much werever u go. (correct me if im wrong there, i know something related to packet editing is illegal)
for this to work, you will have to capture the correct packet, find the location of the id, then using another unbanned if change it, then loop the packet so it will resend itself when it is called apon, but for all we know, the id might not always appear ion the same spot when being sent to the severs, id say sony have thought this through and have a solution to it, plus it will be encrypted too

ya its not related to MAC Address but hopefully someone will figure out a way to unban it thru the console id as i believe thats how they're banned

do you think most people care if something on the internet is illegal...people pirate movies, music, software all the time...like adobe i dont see how they are still in buisiness because everyone i know gets it via keygen

Exactly. They refer to it as your "PSID" (not to be confused with PSN ID, your login info).

Your PSID is the identifier your PS3 sends out to Sony for them to have absolute authority (think of it as how much power your PC account at school has, and any administrator can slap it away just like that).

When your PS3 gets banned, they ban your PSID, not your MAC Address (similar to how Xbox bans Keyvaults).

edit: And in case anyone was interested, the PS3 hack scene does not have a hack to change this yet, and if they ever did, it might not be very effective (just like 360 KV's only last like 2 hours on a JTAG).

if this works it will be very good. like KV for xbox except this should be free right?
