RUMOR: Sony could (may) remotely disable all Jailbroken/hacked PS3's!

To date, Sony's response to the jailbreak has been limited to mandatory firmware updates and revoking PSN access to those that refuse to use official system software.

However, a report by Digital Foundry claims that Sony can take far more drastic measures. Even if you've never signed up for a PSN account, your console will communicate with Sony servers every time it boots up. That initial load process is used to upload error logs, download updates to the "What's New" module, and a list of recently-run applications, including any unauthorized backup manager software.

Sony has yet to ban any consoles for taking advantage of the jailbreak, but the terms and conditions of the PlayStation Network make it clear that Sony has the authority to carry them out. Thanks to the system's constant self-reporting feature, "the company even has the means to irrevocably disable your console should it so wish," rendering affected PS3 consoles unusable, online and off. But will Sony ever use such a drastic measure? And if so, how will the hacker scene retaliate?
The Banhammer May Be Coming

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.

Code:
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.

You people think Sony takes a jailbroke Ps3 serious? Its like a joke to them. But now that we have the key Sony is starting to be "serious". I dont know how the ps3 communicates with Sony servers even if it is disconnected from the internet and never signs in PSN ever again. Looks like we need Sherlock Holmes for this one.

And Sony wont lose money if they do ban consoles that have CFW and/or are jailbroken.

Most people have multiple PlayStation 3s.

Sony can NOT brick our consoles, it's illegal.

But I'm sure they will ban..

Its ok if they brick me...kinda want them to. I have a second ps3, I also wanna get a xbox.

So Do u guys think the will start baning ????

I don't think so, but taking precautions never hurt anyone.

If the reports are true Playstation would be shooting themselves in the foot, xbox sales were up 91% in december and ps3 sales were down 12%. If they start banning people xbox sales will grow even higher and ps3 will drop even lower..

im loving how ppl are tryin to find ways to hide their Cfm n homebrew apps but Tbh .. i really dont give a shit if Sony start to ban ppl ( Which i will be you £1000 they wont ban ANYONE ) i`ll just buy a new ps3 .. simples .

And If we do get banned .. Dont bother complaining because you installed the Cfm .. you knew about the possible ban .

Now can everyone stop making these threads .

Sony can't brick our PS3s intentionally, though we violate the ToS agreement when we mod stuff on our PS3, online play and being able to use a PS3 all together are not the same and in reality, far from eachother.
Sony could ban people online for using their own pkgs I suppose but bricking is an insane rumer.

The only thing I can see them doing as mentioned before is they would disable the feature to update your ps3 by storage media, thus forcing you to update from internet to ensure you get the OFW, however EliteMossy has thought around this and made a proxy that bypasses the OFW and installs the CFW via internet .

However I doubt they would even do this as some that have ps3s like to keep it updated to the newest fw for more features and better security but they don't have internet access to their ps3.
