Your likly right... an empty pushlist would stand out alot more compared to a larger one with legit data in itQuote:

As far as I remember it keeps around 20 latest entries in the pushlists and drops off the rest.Quote:

Pushlists get sent even without signing on to PSN. PS3 tries to send them out if it has internet connection, regardless of whether or not you're signed on. That's why it's a good idea to keep them clean all the time.Quote:
oh and btw...i think you use wipe history after you mount your game and before you connect to psn EVERY time.
AFAIK it keeps sending the list on periodic intervals, not only when booted.Quote:
the ps3 sends the pushlist when you turn it on. Does it only do it then or does it as soon as it gets internet access? Just a though.
Why? If nothing gets sent it could for example be because you've accidentally left your PS3 on, or your kid has turned it on, or your cat jumped on the remote, and so on. There's plenty of reasons why it could be on without sending anything and as such Sony can't really know whether or not it is a legitimate reason.Quote:

Looks like I will come after you if I get banned then.Quote:

I really doubt they have some monitoring system anyway right now like that since the bans haven't been coming in large amounts.Quote:

From what we've seen so far Sony and their affiliates implemented everything all the way from the start with the belief that PS3 is 100% safe and thus there is no need to sanitize input or add real-time monitoring anywhere, and that's also why cheating is so rampant at the moment. If they did sanitize input then that already would cut out most of the cheaters.Quote:

Ive been logging in with Kmeaw 3.55 with 3.56 version spoofer, f*ckpsn 0.5 (the one that hides console ID) and psNinja v3 which clears history and makes files read only. Ive had the email from sony and im still good. Might start using PSIDPatch as well.
Should maybe mention Im a UK psn user with no new TOS to speak of.
Anyone using this set up had troubles?
I tried psNinja myself and it actually fails to make the files read-only. It doesn't even report an error or anything, it just doesn't do anything to them. That's the whole reason why I wrote this tutorial on how to make them read-only manually. You should really check if they are indeed read-only just to be sure.Quote:
