  • Sony Blocks DNS Trick - Hackers Access to PSN Revoked

    In a crushing blow to hackers, Sony patched a well known trick, which hackers had been recently using on their modified consoles. The trick, which enabled online access for the hackers, involved changing your console's primary and secondary DNS servers to custom ones. Until now, this effectively blocked notifications received from Sony, ordering users to update their consoles. In addition, it restored PSN access to modified consoles and consoles which were on lower firmwares. Hackers are scrambling for a new work around, which they may or may not end up finding. In this latest move by Sony, hackers could see this as the end of PSN for good or at least the foreseeable future.

      I agree with some guys here like Captain Obvious.

      I want a SegaCD emulator, I own this console, I own Snatcher, look up how rare the SegaCD version of Snatcher is.

      Bring SegaCD emulator! You guys miss the good ole games. Snatcher is so good if you love cyberpunk

      Cry more babies, gehot is fvkced, all the other devs are fvcked, see you guys on PSN tonight okay? Oops I forgot, you cant log in LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

      Btw, I have 2 ps3's, 1 for emulators, linux and homebrew, the other one playing my online games. I win, you loose LOL
      HAHAHAH BULLSHIT DON'T U MEAN 1 FOR PLAYING PIRATED GAMES AND THE OTHER ONE FOR SUCKING AT ONLINE GAMES!!! U LOSE AT LIFE!!!!

      Im not going to deny I have a few illegal copies, but it is only a couple, and tbh I would not have bought the games, so no ones loss.

      My sole reason for CFW is to backup my owned games. After all whats the point of having an amazing system that you can turn on and off by the controller, but have to get up to change the rudy game!

      I have roughly 16 purchased games, of which I have finished none, and I have no intention of playing illegal copies while I have purchased games I havent completed. And yes I will still purchase games. But when they force 3.56 FW I will no longer be able to slouch on my sofa and switch between my games, not on!

      I dont want to slate Sony, as tbh they have produced the worlds best console to date, it really is a truly amazing piece of tech. If they want to get on the side of people like me that just want to back up their games, then sony should implement it in a FW! Im sure they could find some way of locking the games once on the machine. This would provide the full remote operation of the PS3 that so many people would like.

      Sorry, didnt see your comment there peeer. True I did overlook the continuing implementation of features that new FW provides. But yeah, pain in the a**!

      Sony has lost for a while ago.

      The PS3 use the same process to access the PSN as the PSP I think.

      For the PS3 the process is bypassed with the Plugin PSNLover.

      When the Coder from PSNLover would make one for the PS3 he also could make it.

      @feylito285 you're a total noob to any kind of scenes. Go back to your own posts, there is nothing helpful but just bitches and rages. Hacking a game console has always been a cat and mouse game. Company will come out with a new way to block you from playing their games and you waited patiently for hackers to release new patch to play them again and cycles goes on.

      Funny thing you mention the Wii scene, I'm also a very active member at gbatemp. I was wondering if you ever post something like "raping nintendo dry until you're 75" on any wii site, you'll definately get endless flames by the nintendo loyalists. So Peace M8, just enjoy free game.

      Why cant we all just get along? Pirates stop talking about pirating. People stop calling all modders pirates. Back on topic, Is there any way around this in the works?

      Dont get your hopes up. The new OFW's will be harder and harder to crack, and as long as the PS3 can run code on 3.55, 95% of devs will see no necessity of releasing cfw's for 3.56.

      If that were to happen, though, it would probably not take long before Sony would start banning people for using CFW anyways.

      Online on a CFW PS3 is long gone imho.

      When will we start seeing 3.56 required...?
      THIS begs a good question what are we going to do when all the newer games require 3.56 or even worse like the games themselves having root kits in them.....if we dont have an answer now we wont haave one later thats why all the game devs pushed their releases back so you are required to update to 3.56 i can forsee this now psgroove front page news. If there is such a trick in play i want to be the first to know.

      I think our beloved reverse engineer devs are hard at work making a new CFW for the 3.56fw. Just wait patiently until the new fix. At this time, you just have to play offline until a new hack is release or if you wants online so much you have to go back to OFW.

      Went online yesterday to update MultiMan to the newest version.

      Realized at about 3:30 this morning that I hadn't turned off access when the error occurred.

      Thought I had it set up to not sign into PSN, but I guess I was wrong.
      Not a big deal to me really because I don't do online gaming.

      Sucks for those that do.
      Maybe somebody will show up with a work around soon.
