Sniffing PS3

Recently I have been trying to sniff the PS3. No, it’s not some new fetish, I am sniffing the packets. Problem is, I never get anything from the PS3, I have tried it with the browser, and with an online game, still nothing. I use Wireshark, and it works fine, but for some reason I just can’t capture anything from the PS3.

Last night I tried to get the PS3 to share my laptop connection (Internet Connection Sharing), but no joy. I have read tons of articles on how to do it, but nothing will work.

What’s my reason for capturing the PS3?

I do have a good reason for doing it, though don’t wish to share why, or more specifically what I am trying to capture, as it will be a new project for me to allow the gaming community to use.

Has anyone else got any ideas? I have heard about something called a “CrossOver Cable”, but haven’t looked into that yet.

My setup is:

BT Home Hub
WLAN Card for laptop

So everything is wireless, PS3 connects to the hub, and the laptop connects to the hub via WLAN card. Some how I need to make the PS3 connect to my laptop so I can capture all the data.

WordPress 2.3.3

WordPress 2.3.3 is an urgent security release. If you have registration enabled a flaw was found in the XML-RPC implementation such that a specially crafted request would allow a user to edit posts of other users on that blog. In addition to fixing this security flaw, 2.3.3 fixes a few minor bugs. If you are interested only in the security fix, download the fixed version of xmlrpc.php and copy it over your existing xmlrpc.php.

Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare Patch

Since I bought COD4:MW, I have played it none stop, it is a highly addictive multiplayer game. Up until 2 days ago, there were problems for the PS3. Sometimes it would take a long time to get in to a game. IW (Infinity Ward - Creators of the game) has been working on a patch which was released Friday, and I must say, getting into a game is a lot quicker. Not only that, EU can now play against other PS3 players.

What I am looking forward to the most, is extra kill cams, new maps, and a few bug fixes. Have a read of this post for information…
