Apparently, examination of the OFW has found a new feature that will allow Sony to download and run code when you login to PSN.
The code they can run is obviously to check for CFW or whatever, but the code could change to check for anything really.
And with the current state of PS3 security there is the possibility that others might be able to run their code on your PS3 without your knowledge.
I don't run CFW and I'm pretty pissed about this. What they are doing might be illegal in the EU.

Mathieulh just posted about it on IRC.
Essentially Sony can now remotely execute code on the PS3 as soon as you connect.
This can do whatever Sony wants it to do such as verifying system files or searching for homebrew. Sony can change the code and add new detection methods without any firmware updates and as the code executes remotely there is no reliable way to forge the replies.
Whilst it is possible to patch or remove this code from the firmware this will likely mean the end of playing CFW online (as PSN can just check before login that this is active) or at the very least mean it will be even easier for Sony to detect and ban users.
Judging from the fact that people can still connect using the proxy method it seems Sony hasn't activated any of this yet but the functions are there in the new firmware.

Jan 27 14:44:45 <Sorrowuk> They will just release patches so people who have hacked cant go online
Jan 27 14:44:46 <Mathieulh> yummy
Jan 27 14:44:50 <noone> WAT
Jan 27 14:45:00 <noone> RFE built-in the fw!?
Jan 27 14:45:25 <Mathieulh> 3.56 pretty much has a built in psn rootkit
Jan 27 14:45:30 <noone> dude, that's the only stuff i'd be afraid of
Jan 27 14:45:31 <Mathieulh> don't tell me I haven't warned you
Jan 27 14:45:43 <Sorrowuk> psn rootkit ?
Jan 27 14:46:05 <noone> but if we could rip-off the fw that shit would be erased
Jan 27 14:46:20 <noone> that was the only thing stopped sony to _auto_ update your fw
Jan 27 14:46:22 <Mathieulh> noone it's not that simple
Jan 27 14:46:29 <Mathieulh> the server awaits a proper reply
Jan 27 14:46:34 <Mathieulh> and that reply isn't in the firmware

I think we should try to make something similar to this: You must login or register to view this content.. These guys are gaining users everyday and a friend of mine uses it with his hacked xbox 360 and loves the fact he can play online with no worries. I think it would be a fantastic idea. Don't seem to hard neither. What do you guys think? Take a look at it. Almost like an underground network for all us hackers to enjoy without the hassle of $ony

All we would need is a framework built + servers to handle it. Correct?

Correct my friend. Anyone got a server we can try this on? Donate for the PS3 hacking cause? Could really change thing's around here. Either that or I can shoot these guys an email and see if they would consider doing som PS3 version of this application and let them know the wall we've ran into and also inform them alot of PS3 user's would jump on this. I would pay $14.95 to have full access to it. A one time fee? Shit that screams buy me at this point.

Then why dont we give it a shot? What do we have to lose? It's a win-win solution. I am pretty good at the networking side of things and got some buddies who would love to take a crack at it as well on the infrastructure side of thing's. What do you say? I don't have the fund's for one but can help a shitload when it comes to doing the software side's of it.
