Hey guys,

my first post on the forums lol... but erm i have got a great idea that MANY PS3 owners will LOVE (if it works out that is).. but in order to full fill this, i need to monitor ALL the traffic of the my PS3... so not something like CFsomething's PS3 Proxy...
so my question is, is there ANY way to monitor ALL the traffic of the PS3?

kinda firefox's Live HTTP Header addon, but then for the whole PS3.. i also need to know (if possible) what the ps3 sends to the servers and all?

if its like an small hardware thing for a small price that can monitor this, then thats fine..

thxx

I didn't know such a thing exists.

I would think you would need Linux at the very least as the program would need to sit in your system tray and monitor all your network connections, right?

Something that shows extensive information about each connection: remote host IP, remote host name (if available), amounts of incoming and outgoing traffic, name of the process that initiated or accepted this connection, etc. I don't know it sounds awfully cool if you can pull it off -- if Sony would allow such access to outsiders, but anything is possible. Let us know!

I think this is possible IF you run Linux on your PS3. On the native PS3 OS itself however, I'm not sure how you can do this. Are you considering creating a homebrew of sorts? Can you expound on what you are planning to do so we could have a rough idea on your project? I think it is possible if you might have a PS3 devkit to program this thing.

what i am exactly trying to do, is (try) to make an actual working PSN card online, and with working i mean, one that is exactly like the one you see on the PS3.. and also that is up to date, like what you are currently doing (play what you are playig lol), what your comment is, your trophies and trophy level, and even a comparer if possible.. now i've got the PHP/HTML/JavaScript knowledge for this, the only thing i need to know what where the PS3 gets this information from, so that i can use a php file to extract this information and then write it (using GD for those who know) on the card, and then users can request their PSN card (e.g. http://domain.com/psn_name.gif where psn_name is the well psn name of the user :P )

i thought about doing it on linux, and i made a post on the ubuntu forums (easiest since im registered there already from quite a while ago) and im just waiting for a reply.. however the problem with linux is that i'd have to run it as a proxy, in which case it won't work since the PSN uses SSL to login and do some other stuff (i know this from the CFsomething PS3 proxy)..

So basically you want to find a way to access Sony's network database?

I hope for the security of the network that this isn't possible.

@mjones
whats not to get lol, its basically a better version of the current online PSN cards

@hellbringger and SilPho
meh im definitely no hacker lol.. i really only want it for the PSN card information, besides i am a gazzilion% sure that the information is very limited even if its possible, i have found a way to monitor my own PS3's traffic, so if its all secure and it wont be any security breach, and it is possible to get the PSN card information without any problems, a better PSN cards will definitely come, but if there is any breach (which i highly doubt) all stuff will bin erased from my HDD lol

Good luck to you, it would be great to have live cards but I just think that if it was easy, Sony would probably have done it themselves by now.

Are the 360 gamer cards that we see all over the place from Microsoft? Or at least semi-live?

they're directly from microsoft (i believe the link is http://gamercard.xbox.com/usename.card, but it has to be input as an iframe)

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/smsniff.html there you have it. It should monitor most of the traffic going through your ps3 but you will have to setup a proxy server on your PC so that the PS3 uses the PCs connection for transferring stuff. I can't help you with the proxy server though there should be some one click software somewhere in the world for it.

My question is, why would you want to monitor the PS3 traffic?

Another question: You're not GenJones32, right?

He is quite possibly the paranoid type who wishes to take control of the hold that sony puts on him by phoning home. Not saying its a bad thing or anything though. Perhaps, he enjoys this sort of stuff who knows people have many hobbies, I am just providing the information that he wanted. I guess I was a bit ignorant saying he through the whole post, imagine I said he/she above.

Don't worry, have already found the stuff needed to do so.. and thx for the program, its much easier to analyze then Wireshark..
