Connecting to PSN on CFW 3.55 Kmeaw

[The Central Scrutinizer]

The folks over at PS3-Hacks have reportedly found a way to get back on PSN!

Personally I haven’t tried this yet, but it seems promising… This comes from an anonymous fellow who is reporting success on connecting to PSN using PS3 Custom Firmware 3.55 by Kmeaw. So install that first and then follow these steps.

The following assumes you’re technically inclined and/or very resourceful, i.e. you know how to use Google. You’ll likely need to reference Google when it comes to generating/signing a certificate and creating a CA (certification authority). That said lets get started; here we’re using a combination of two tactics:

1. DNS server trick: Set Primary DNS to 67.202.81.137 under Network Settings
2. Simple SSL proxy that basically modifies the headers for outgoing packets to auth.np.ac.playstation.net’s to change “PS3 03.55″ to “PS3 03.56″ — this makes PSN believe the PS3 is using the proper firmware version

Got it? Now here is how we accomplish tactic #2:

1. Replacing a SSL cert in the CFW (in /dev_flash/data/cert) with your own CA SSL certificate
2. Creating an SSL certificate for “auth.np.ac.playstation.net” signed with your CA certificate
3. Run a DNS server on your machine that resolves auth.np.ac.playstation.net to your PC’s internal IP
4. Create a Java SSL proxy (basically PS3 <-> PC <-> PSN). The PC claims (to the PS3) that it is “auth.np.ac.playstation.net” and is successfully accepted because a CA signed the SSL certificate
5. Replace the headers sent PS3 -> PSN to specify “PS3 03.56″

ChrisTechTV (if it works) they’ll need you for this one man!

Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

Update: Looks like it works… Here is video proof:

And no, this isn’t a video tutorial. Wait for that.

Thanks to yigal33 for the news tip!

Update: Thanks to our user Tsukasa035, here is a complete guide to setting this up: http://psx-scene.com/forums/f118/%5B...-3-55-a-80532/

Haven't tried this yet, but i'm pretty sure if it works sony won't be able to patch it.
How to set up SSL Proxy?
Anyone tried this yet?

[FeckinL]

I'm not bothered about psn personally, but just wondering if you've actually tried this yourself?

1. Replacing a SSL cert in the CFW (in /dev_flash/data/cert) with your own CA SSL certificate

Feel free to go pissing about with dev_flash.

[FalconSS]

Messing with the flash? oh dear...

[DNX]

Can someone confirm this?
