(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Just letting everyone know, I was messing with charles and found something I worry about. When ever you start a game, the ps3 firmware requests a XML file from a0.np.ac.playstation.net. It will do it even for homebrew. This XML would normally return a result set of information related to game updates.

Even if the file doesn't exist, it would get logged in the apache server access log. The bad thing about this is sony could filter though this and gather IP with game ID's they flag as homebrew and potentially trace it back to you and ban you.

I know that it is only your IP address, but its still a risk.

Also do know that some requests besides logging in have header information that hints that your not on 3.56..

I hope this all is nothing, I just wanted everyone aware of this information I have found.

Enjoy..

i knew there would risks bypassing firmware on a custom firmware ps3

The anon proxy server can block a0.np.ac.playstation.net, of course, if you know how to set it up

Ya, I do. Keep in mind I founded that method .

just use your neighbours unencrypted internet LOL that's if you want crappy internet at a 1 bar level. :L or just use your 5 Bar internet connection and use proxy anon

You do know that running a proxy on your own computer and using it is no advantage right? Unless you using it for hacking purposes, you would be using the same IP.

Just pointing that out..

Don't give them any idea's

hey can you set up a tutorial on how to do this??? Please ;-)

lol yup nice thread :y:

Oh ok cool lol, I found it in youtube because I was tired of my patch blocker signing out, so I looked up patch blocker nevers signs out, and somehow elitemossy didnt come up, it came up with anon proxy server
