(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Sony has cleverly implemented new coding into firmware 3.56 that can allow them to remotely detect a system that is running homebrew or a custom firmware, which can lead to bans.

Firmware 3.56 is proving to be a valuable update for Sony. Scattered about message boards and forums, it is being said that Sony’s latest firmware has a new feature implemented within that will allow Sony to remotely run code on PS3 consoles as they connect to PSN. What this entails can be anything Sony want to be done, so it can check for custom firmware or homebrew. By doing so, Sony can verify systems and even edit code without the need for future firmware updates. This will make it easier for Sony to track homebrew and custom firmware users that go online and possibly lead to bans, which has been heavily implied.

Sony has yet to activate these features but the possibility to do so is there.

So the guys making cfw need to find a way of disabling this code before releasing it, otherwise people will go online with a new cfw & then sony will just track them. I suggest you people hold back a few days on installing any cfw that is released. If what the op says is true, a lot of people will get banned. Stay safe people.

Thread moved to PS3 General as it has nothing to do with Exploits and Hacks.

they should either disable or make a stealth cfw so they cant see any hombrew apps on our consoles.

Is this true or it's just a conspiracy of sorts?

Anyway, i used Geohot's JB and still have it installed, so probably won't update to 3.56 unless i clean all evidence of having used CFW. I is afraid! :puke:

Thnx for the post will take a look @ It

i had a feeling sony would do something like this but now its confirmed i can look over the pup *again* -.- so this will delay my CFW release even more

Thnx For Ya Help !
