Hacking PS3 Proxy for custom firmware version validation in Linux

[mte90]

I did yesterday this tiny tool in Python that let you to proxy the firmware version validation with a custom version as I needed to register a PSN account and activate my PS3 (https://gbatemp.net/threads/on-ps3h...kg-with-rap-files-are-not-starting-it.578063/).

The link inside gbatemp https://gbatemp.net/download/ps3-proxy-for-custom-firmware-version.36846/ the tool is on github and is open to contribution https://github.com/Mte90/PS3-custom-fwversion-proxy

Yeah, I already used your tool to validate my ps3. I tried to write something by myself from scrapping using https://proxycrawl.com/scraping-with-worldwide-backconnect-proxy, but without required knowledge it was a failure. I configured my computer as a proxy in network settings. During the activation step I was asked to validate the connection, I was not sure if it worked or failed, when I opened the psn program, the tool operated very well, without any bugs. Now I am waiting to see if there will be a tool for ps4. By the way, I think a lot of people should thank you because you made someone’s work. I mean you wrote a code that other tried to do.

Hey thanks

Well I don't have a PS4 so I did this one also as experiment with python as proxy. It was fun to do and it is open source so I guess that modify for PS4 will not so difficult.
