PS3 Possible ban wave?

[pinky]

if you read the banning information on sony's website, it says that a console is flagged, then reviewed, and finally banned. they say that they don't ban unless certain that the person has broken the tos. and, of course, the banning is permanent no matter what the reason. I'm not sure how long the process takes, but both bits and I received an email from sony on the same day.

Sure he already said he doesn't believe in disabling syscalls while going online, he said he only disables them when he updates firmware.. which is just crazy, you don't need to disable them when updating firmware, literally no one has ever recommended that or found a problem with it.

Yep he did say in an earlier post that he doesn't believe in it and it's just being paranoid if you do that all the time.

Now we know how and why he is got banned. Not disabling them! so it is was his own fault for being banned.

Not disabling syscalls = The server will detect the CFW from the syscalls and all the his activities such as backed up games that will in turn trigger Sonys DNAS and as Sony classes them as Piracy. Also detecting any mods used and all actions and activities done by his nponlineID.

=A major Ban, probably Account, Console, Mac address and possibly an IP ban or just the IP address will be monitored.

Yeah you probably will get away with not disabling the syscalls for a while but your basically walking into a ban.

No offence but this was your own fault and just from what you have told us. and then you abuse everyone else because you have been proven wrong. And this is a classic sign of someone talking out their arse and doesn't have a clue what there on about.

Your modders? from the pic you put up don't you mean you and your stoner mates smoking crap and talking crap.

I came across people like you regularly when I was in the 'legit' game's industry, sending emails in about problems, getting the best advice and help from us that made the actual game, then saying we were wrong. I think not we made the games you bought and are playing on.

Your attitude is that of a 2 year old and is offensive to everyone who is just trying to help you.

This discussion went south quick o_0
I hate to see this, but I want to add one last thing.

I understand your frustration, but this is the only real option you have moving forward:
It happened, a ban is definitely up there with the worst scenarios you could face when jumping into
the modding scene. It's happen to a good portion of people here at some point, on any form
of exploited console, game, or service. While you have now been cut off from the online portion
of gameplay, the best thing you could do is take it in and understand what's happened:
(at least it wasn't a brick, or critical hardware failure)

When installing CFW, exploiting any particular program or technology, or doing anything that
specifically goes against the Terms of Service & User Agreements you run the risk of being
punished, or cut off from that entity. While you actually own the system, they reserve the right
to deny you any complementary service should you use their product in a way unintended
and unspecified as well. They however do not have the right to take back the game console
or anything that you physically own & paid for.

Now that you have been cut off from PSN, just remember that you still have a perfectly good
working game console, with CFW capabilities.Think of it as a scratch instead of a killing blow.
That's all that can really be done at this point.

I've researched this topic quite a bit, because of my personal paranoia of a possible ban as
well, but the benefits far outweigh the risk for me. Keep your main PSN account as far away
from the exploited console if you value it, keep your console completely offline once you
have exploited it. That is the only surefire way I could think of preventing this scenario.

Now, I understand you've had a bad experience here, but those who have contributed
to this conversation are generally very respectful, it just has to be reciprocal, on both sides.
There is alot of information available here that could help you in the future, and I hope you
see this and decide to take advantage of it.

But i had a frickin ban, a private id, not shared bro andi lost it after two days never bewing banned before u CANT tell ME i did some wrong i did same shit as i ever do there is no way u can help me, tried everything beforew and after, im out now seems no bud understands me in anyway -.-

I think the issue is you do not understand.

I do have a hard time understanding this post.

You were never banned before but yet you bought an IDPS?
You do the same things as before? before what on your other IDPS that was not banned or was it banned?
Typically people are not seeking and buying a IDPS if they were not banned.

nice that the admin called it BS or Bullshit (s the full word) witch makez him to me pretty dissrespectfull AND THANKZ TO NOT LETTING ME RENAME IT AGAIN dude, YEAH WELL DONE! he didnt realize that this ,,Banwave'' from me was a THOUGHT i wasnt 100% sure but talkin that out and also a bit me to the ground is just horrible, internet internet oh yeah, take ma back to 94, i had my best timez there as a ruler that knows his stuff
but no one (iv he could) help me get there right? right O_O????

You posted about a BAN WAVE (as i explained (my personal views) a ban wave is something of a myth and simple common sense would support that theory where a ban wave is a stretch. Just have to think about it. So much BS floated around with PSN BANS and someone like yourself is adding to it, by saying we are in a ban wave and also not providing all the details as explained in the post above.

Yea, i renamed your thread to suggest a question (hints the "?" marks added).
You raised the question and that is more then okay, I gave a response and the likely culprit and you do not want to take that advice...

Well I got banned last Monday (October 1st). I just got an email out of the blue that morning that my account had been perma banned for piracy or unauthorized software detected on my PS3 (seems to be the default message when Sony detects CFW).

In any case I hadn't been online in over a week at that point and would also disable syscalls and clear history whenever I did sign in. I also never played any games online. Whenever I signed in was to message friends. Again I hadn't been online in over a week at the time I got the email and my PS3 was currently turned off as well. My PS3 is running Rebug 4.82.2 REX in CEX mode. Last thing I played on my PS3 was Persona 5. It always asks when you start the game to sign in but I never did.

Could it be a banwave? I don't know. A lot of people here are skeptical and could send the wrong message to someone who is new to these things that they could be safe...I felt the same way as I browsed these forums for weeks leading up to and after jailbreaking my A01. I thought I took all the precautions and they still got me.

So my advice to anyone who comes across this in the future, don't sign in unless you absolutely have to...it's not a good feeling losing years of messages, memories, friends, and of course games/dlc. Or...if you do, make a second account. I thought I'd be okay and risked my primary account and got burned for it. Learn from our mistakes and don't be the next victim!

There's no ban wave, ur just unlucky to get banned, and u also used ur primary account that's why u will get banned easily, i play everyday online in my second account i dont get any warning or something i have had HAN Xploit for more than 5-6 months i didnt get any warning or something and i play online almost everyday.

Are your 100% certain that one else logged on to your PS3 and was on PSN.

Which apps where you using for protection?

We do not suggest PSN is safe on CFW there is a risk,
but there is NO BAN WAVES

Also suggested never to put your primary account at risk as well. So there is risk and those have always been stated, but there is no INCREASED risk then before as there is no ban waves.

Sony is not turning on and off protections..
Sony is not stock piling names to ban later.. (they would ban when they detect)

Without those actions there could be no ban wave. So not sure how much more a ban wave has to be debunked lol


. If Sony really wanted to do an event (ban wave) and "clean" PSN up.. They would of simply did a Firmware update by now............................................... That would take all HAN user's out right away.. would make CFW have to be updated and such.. Tools and apps would needed updated .. Way more effective then "ban waves"

 

[pinky]

yeah, it's a generic message as to why you've been banned. it's a catchall for anyone who may be doing something they shouldn't be. I'm sure sony assumes piracy, like the others do though, as the only reason for installing cfw, which is a pretty short-sighted viewpoint imo.

FFS for a year now i have heard oh no ban wave when someone is banned but again common sense.. If Sony really wanted to do an event (ban wave) and clean PSN up.. They would of simply did a Firmware update by now...............................................

I'm 100% sure that no one else at my home was logged onto my PS3 as I'm really the only gamer in the house.
I'm pretty sure I wasn't hacked either. In fact just days ago I had logged in to my account via my computer to remove my Paypal information.

On my PS3 I have webman mod and PSNPatch. Before signing in I had always used the R2+Triangle shortcut to disable syscalls and clear history. I didn't use any spoofing or things like that. Just disabling syscalls. I also never ran homebrew apps while signed in.

I wasn't blaming or accusing or any of that to anyone. I was just giving out a warning to anyone that comes across this thread in the future. As you can see in my original post I was just explaining what happened to me and giving some advice to any newcomer. For about 3-4 weeks I felt pretty safe but took all the precautions. I know already that they are not 100% guaranteed and I took the risk. Just giving out a warning to anyone else.

Honestly though the main thing that stings about getting my account banned was just losing my friends list and years of messages. The only thing of monetary value I had on that account was BF3 DLC from back in the day.

But glad to know there are no ban waves

Little bit not related to thread, but why you had psnpatch installed? To activate content, or to keep psn safe? Because if for that second option, then looks like you didn't used it correctly. Although this not need to be cause of ban, just a thing that i noticed.

 

[RyanBurnsRed]

I installed it to be safe when going online as everywhere I read said PSNinja is outdated. I don't have any content to activate so I never used it for that and don't even know how to be honest. Then I read somewhere else (can't remember where) that webman mod can do the same thing psnpatch does with just r2+triangle and that's what I've been using, so I never really bothered with psnpatch much.

yes, iirc, webaman mod can block psn access just like psn patch. I'm not sure if there are any differences though.

webMAN MOD does not block PSN access it will disable CFW syscalls (delete history ect.)

PSNpatch (plugin) disables syscalls / history ect and wont allow a sign in until you perform the button combo to disable cfw syscalls, so you can never login without disabling cfw syscalls when using the PSNpatch plugin

 

[pinky]

hmm....my mistake.

 

[Cypher_CG89]

Actually webMAN MOD does have a Block access to PSN option but I am sure it's used to block access to PSN altogether in lvl 1 & lvl 2. it's not in webMAN setup where it opens up the webbrowser but rather on the XMB itself in the sub-options. It's somewhere below 'View Games in Web list'.

I would screenshot it but I have been modifying the xml to move 'what's new' to the GAMES column and av caused myself a little glitch where the webMAN settings has disappeared lol. not really bothered like as I use multiman not webMAN.

wMM Blocks PSN servers, but that would be a different approach then how PSNpatch blocks the ability to login, i believe. webMAN MOD will not disable login process like psnpatch, but i could be wrong.

webMAN MOD block PSN servers is like what SEN Enabler details in its instructions to do with your router.

 

[sandungas]

I feel like i have to take part for @RyanBurnsRed , his report is one of the few where he explained a lot of details, and he was not doing any weird thing, is a good report
And having syscalls enabled is not a reason for triggering a ban, you know there are some people online in cfw without protection and are not banned (joonie mentioned it one time, bguerville mentioned it the other day, stlcardsws too iirc, etc...)

So... ok imo this report can be counted as the first one to try to see if there is a banwave... so... we have only one in the counter, we will see in the next days

There are some details that could bring some light about why he was banned though...

 

[Killer Bunny]

You see that's why I love HAN. I have been using it since 5-6 months and haven't got banned. It is the best option for your ps3. It does what almost 90% people would do with their cfw ps3. In my opinion HAN is the best option for a ps3. The best thing about Han is that it can be installed on ps3 super slim.

 

[STLcardsWS]

We have the largest PS3 community of user's here and we have had no mass reporting.

Think of it like this, when we have a firmware update. How many come here and ask if there is a PSN solution (spoof / new cfw ect..)?, yet how many have we heard of being banned? Anymore then usual? infact maybe less then usual ..

been using CFW on PSN for about that long but in years not months ;p

HAN does some good things, but nothing compares to CFW.. 99% of HAN users if they had access to CFW they would jump on it, in a moment.

Its like my PS4 now gets dust on it since i exploited it on 5.05. My PS4 is now boring as there is no homebrew. Homebrew / Hacks only thing that is interesting.
