PS3 Firmware Version Check Bypassed (Linux)
Passive DNS ............ yes
Perl regex in filters .. no
Iconv UTF-8 support .... yes
7a) If it fails at any time, due to a dependancy issue, install it (a simple yum/apt-get install
XYZ usually does it).
7b) If Plugin support is no, re-install libtool.
Type: make
8.
[PRESS ENTER]
Type: make install
9.
This copies all the files to where they need to be.
Note: One could also use a text editor to edit the etter.dns file, or any method you choose!
Type: cd /usr/local/share/ettercap/
10.
Note: If the cd command fails, try cd /usr/share/ettercap/
Type: rm etter.dns
11.
11a) Type: wget
Time to play! Turn your PS3 on, connect an ethernet cable, get it booted, network configured etc
12.
(to the Internet!)
Note: if your ethernet adapter is not at eth0, change it to eth1, etc!
Type: ettercap -T -Q -M arp -i eth0 // // -P dns_spoof
13.
Now leave it alone, it will output a lot of stuff, wait 30 seconds, and go to the PS3, try the store, etc!
Output on PC should look like: dns_spoof: [fus01.ps3.update.playstat ion.net] spoofed to
[67.15.88.46]
The Web server is conveniently hosted by us, and any updates are removed, Firmware version is
spoofed at 0.00, so unless you're running a pre 0.00 Firmware, (which you are not) it will work
perfectly!
Hopefully a Windows version will be along soon (although Linux works perfectly, the world
somehow still uses Windows).
For the future: When the big $ shuts it down w/ a Firmware upgrade (don't use DNS to resolve,
go straight IP?), there is still hope! We may be able to spoof the entire store, and use PKG files
(aka games/videos etc) on our own Web servers, and install them to the PS3 in a roundabout way.
Also, there is a large potential (with the proper modifications to the PUP) for downgrading!
