Could This Beat Sony's Ban Hammer?

[dlevere]

French developers have been working on some tools that could help those avoid a PSN/SEN ban while running custom firmware.

PSN Tool v1.0 basically removes any unofficial syscalls, temporarily change MAC/ConsoleID and more. The developers even boast that the legendary ban game of all time, COD Black Ops 2, is playable online. They claim to have tested the game online for a month without a ban.

Disclaimer: Game Hacking.org, dlevere, Hacking 101, PSX-Scene, myself (Tranced) are in no way responsible should you use the below tools and face a ban by Sony or any game developers server. Should you use the below tools and somehow brick your console, the onus is on you for tampering with crucial system files. Rather sit back and let experienced users report back any issues they might incur, than blindly attempting the following.

I have not tested these tools but the developers do mention that CFW 4.40 is a no go for now since using this will cause freezing issues which renders the tools useless. Also note that the below is a translation from French so critical information could be lost in translation.

About PSN Tool v1.0:

The homebrew is primarily used to hedge against the banishment in CFW!

Changelog: v1.0 - First Release

• FEATURE: Allows to 'clean' your CFW, i.e. to temporarily remove the Peek & Poke syscall. This for now specifically allows you to play Call Of Duty: Black Ops II without automatic ban, because your system is regarded as OFW without these syscalls. We tested the game for over a month, and not ban to this day, you can enjoy ^^ wink
  
• FEATURE: Makes your loaded backup (dev_bddvd) read-only, with 555 permissions to make an Original Backup. Also removes files created by multiMAN which normally should not be present.
  
• FEATURE: Allows to delete the folders 'suspect' in the eyes of sony on your hdd, i.e. tmp, game_debug, PKG, packages, "GAMES" if it is empty (otherwise you'll get an error, it is recommended to use "my version" of multiMAN or manually edit the file options.ini mm), crash_report, home/reActSys.key, vsh and the browser history. The files PKG and packages will be removed only if they are empty wink Attention, this removes however Multiman Stealth version 'Toolbox' on the CFW Rogero. We invite you to use my multiMAN Stealth (link at the bottom of page) or that of Arch!
  
• FEATURE: Allows to change temporarily ConsoleID, as does PSIDPATCH pressing [Select]
  
• FEATURE: Allows to change temporarily MAC address by pressing [X], for not getting "roasting" its current MAC address
• FEATURE: Allows to change temporarily PSID, as does PSIDPATCH pressing [O]

Bugs to fix:

• when using a backup located externally, the application freeze when the clean automatic ([Start]). This is due to the application of the permissions. To still take advantage of the clean the syscall (Ram) and the HDD, use the keys [L1] then [R1]
  
• When using on cfw 4.40, the kernel named "Mírala Tijera" instead of your current kernel. There is also a black screen wanting spoofer MAC (to confirm!) address. We therefore advise you to Rebug 4.30 or Arch 4.31

CFW Compatibility:
Rebug 4.30.2 REX (mode CEX et DEX)
Rebug 4.30.2 D- REX
Arch 4.31 (for cfw SGK not yet test)

CFW 4.40 are subject to the bug/freeze and are therefore to be avoided. For the "creation" of this homebrew (Yes it is you who will create it) we offer two methods.

Method Easy (recommended):

We present you make PSN Tool Creator v1.0 by SAZERTY to automate the creation of the pkg!

Instructions:

• Place your psn (demo) game in the pkg file supplied with the appliance
  
• Press ok and then [Enter] If you agree with the conditions
  
• Select your pkg by typing its number in the list
  
• Type (copy / paste) your consoleID (IDPS) (32 chars.) or press [Enter] to use your IDPS original
  
• Press [R] to generate a random MAC address to the spoofer or [Enter] to use the original. Alternatively, you can type it manually (12 car.)
  
• Press [r] to generate a random PSID to the spoofer or [Enter] to use the original. Alternatively, you can type it manually (32 car.)
  
• Press on [y] to save a copy of your IDs in a text file or [n] for nothing do
  
• Press on [y] to give a name to your homebrew on the xmb. If you type [n], the homebrew will be the name of your game psn (demo)
  
• Your pkg and your file containing your id if you created one will be in the main folder.

Key Functions:

• [X] to spoof the MAC address
  
• [Select] to spoof the ConsoleID
  
• [O] to spoof the PSID
  
• [Start] to perform a full clean system (RAM, HDD, BDDVD ..)
  
• [L1] for cleaner Ram (syscalls)
  
• [R1] for cleaner HDD (folders)
  
• [R2] for the cleaner BDDVD (permissions, files, .. BUG with external backups)
  
• [] to turn the fashion CFW (restart)
  
• [/ \] to exit Tutorial use (to follow to the letter!):

Tutorial of use (to follow to the letter!)

• Start the homebrew
  
• Press [X] to spoof your MAC address (and nothing else because the PS3 then a LV2 Soft Reset, which will void your spoofs or remove potential syscalls!)
  
• The LV2 is restarted and the new MAC address is active
  
• Load your backup with multiMAN, it is very recommended to disable "Redirection of app/home" because it's not stealth! (if you have a HS bad drivetant at your own risk!)
  
• Return to the homebrew, there you can do all operations so change ConsoleID (only if you have registered a valid in the eboot.elf!), PSID and make a clean complete by pressing [Start]. As stated above for the games in usb due to bug you won't use the clean 'complete' automatic. Will need you to manually press [R1] then [L1] to do "cleaner" than the HDD and syscalls.
  
• You can optionally verify that all went well by pressing the arrow on the top of your controller to make a check, but it is optional.
  
• Exit by pressing on [/ \] and enjoy the SEN/PSN with your Backup by starting it from the BR icon ^^

NOTE:

When we clean the syscall ([Start] or [R1]), you can no longer load games with multiMAN, change MAC address, of ConsoleID,... in short everything that is not "OFW", for this you will need to restart the console or return to the homebrew and press [] Attention if you load multiMAN when even after doing a clean emulation BD will be disabled because your system will be considered as OFW by mm! (Just re-enable the option at the end of the parameters of mm to fix the problem) There is simply an order to follow when you want to do some tasks

For example, suppose I want to change my MAC address: if I press [Start] (or [L1]) for cleaner syscall then the application will not be able to change my mac address because they are needed. So, I will be forced to rely on [] or restart.

A sample.pkg file re-signed with the Sky Fighter game was included in the archive. It is in fact the homebrew but with a ConsoleID, PSID and empty MAC address. It can be used for testing purposes (spoofer failed anything with this pkg) tutorials above are also present. Even if there is more automatic ban and the risk is very low because the functions of clean/spoof zero risk does not exist, if you follow the tutorial you are solely responsible for the consequences that can follow.

Regarding multiMAN BASE CEX Stealth XMB 30/04/00 by Hijam:

Note that you will need to rename the "GAMES" folders that contain your backups in "Games" by the File Manager by multiMAN once installed to see your games with my version! (Additional security)

Also note that there is no indefinite way of knowing what Sony looks for when banning CFW users. The best way to avoid a ban is to not use your CFW console online. I bring this news to you since I don't hold back on any releases or information regarding the scene.

Update1:

One of the developers over at ps3gunz and member of psx-scene has dropped by and provided us with some additional information. hijam had this to say in the comments below.

The info remains one month on our french site.. Now it's public, use it with caution...

I will just say to all that no updates are scheduled until the dev will get free time

As you will see onlny the cfw we tested are supported : rebug 4.30.2 CEX and DEX and Arch 4.31 CEX

Not rogero and latest 4.41 cfw sorry.. (somme bug/freeze on 4.40 .. 4.41 lv2 not implemented yet)

the dev of this and almost all the users in our french forum use the 4.30.2 with the spoofer..

It's more secure if you use an other idps.. enjoy

No ban happened since 2 months of testing but if you're banned it's your own responsibility.. no system is perfect..

At the start it was only for us, but a little search will not harm you, visit our forum Ps3GunZ for the ORIGINAL post in french... the password is the one we use for backups...

The "Creator" have not the same psw, it's sazerty but for the tool it's not this one..

and also visit the post on NGU (copy not by me) for more info in english if you can't read french..

Hijam from GunZ...

But in reality there is another bug : you can't use it on a low resolution screen (SD) ..

and as you can see they forgot the translation of the method 2 "manual" with the elf in main rar

if you follow the tutorial for the usage to the letter, everything will be fine..

first spoof mac at the start of the ps3, then do all your CFW things, load your backup with "my" stealth mm or a resigned one, and then at the end reopen the tool and spoof your idps, psid and do a full clean (or l1/r1 if your backup is external due to the permissions bug..)

have a look at my original post if you can read french and improve this one in english.. i've not really the time for this now

ps: i don't think the mm of arch is completely stealth because the version of actual singstar and the one in the sfo are not the same and please don't quote sgk they have nothing to do with us!

I still hope Sony bans the hell out of online cheaters. Cheating is fun, but being cheated against is infuriating. Cheat offline only people, don't be a complete @sshole that spoils every other player's fun. Online cheaters give cheating the absolute worst reputation when it can be the best thing on Earth for many people.

Online cheating ruined Phantasy Star Online.
