About my feature request for an option to block Destiny 1 from booting

[Sukotto-1999]

Hello.

I have decided to do a write up.

Previously. I opened a feature request for an option to block Destiny 1 from booting. Someone named MoahDib commented me and said that it is overthought, the game will ban you for using CCAPI, he did not get banned 2 years of playing. I replied and said that you are wrong though. A user tried this game with HEN and got banned.

After looking up i've seen a reddit post from a user, about playing Destiny 1 on CFW, he did not make an update saying that he got banned. After thinking about bans on CFW, I have figured out people are scared of bans of COD or GTA: V (official servers). There are anti-ban eboots for COD games and GTA V online but there is actually none for Destiny 1. Out of respect, it's Destiny 1's turn.

I have decided to try some extensive testing with Destiny 1 on CFW to investigate and see if the anti-cheat would catch me. I created a burner account just for this game, and used another different CID. I mount game, go to my burner user, disabled internet connection, spoof CID, used Webman MOD's clear syscalls and history function before re-enable internet connection. I installed game data and updates, and played 2 missions in one day, and then another for today. I will post proof when i get banned, sorta. (pz. i disabled PS3MAPI and SPhotoGUI in Webman MOD settings, and i mount the game straight from Webman MOD menu). I am using Evilnat 4.92.2 CFW. My burner account has yet to be banned anyway. I am using another CID to protect my real one.

Here are my findings:

• Destiny 1 uses DemonWare which is an anti-cheat protection. DemonWare is only an anti-cheat system and that can detect any cheating.
• The PS3's private keys were changed in firmware 3.60 and on newer PS3 models (later PS3 slim and all super slim) in an attempt to deter piracy, but this did not help as there are ODE's and PS3HEN. Destiny 1 may not check the private keys used. When using CFW/HEN the private keys are not the same as 3.60 keys though the 3.60 public keys were leaked back in 2012. If the 3.60 keys were found then every system would have CFW not just those from the factory with the old firmwares 3.56 or lower with the old keys, which would likely be never. Private keys on PS3 are by definition private and are used for signing binaries with Sony's signatures.
• Destiny 1 cannot get your HWID from the motherboard. The HWID is by definition, be it the SSD or CELL/BE. That needs more investigation.
• Destiny 1 is an online only game and support for PS3 and Xbox 360 has ended in 2016, although the original servers are still up.

EDIT: Turns out, it seems the 3.60 firmware or above uses random private keys instead of a static one.

@aldostools I saw a new update which added the game to wm_offline_ids.txt. I already did some extensive testing, and so far i did not get banned. I just tested today and i did not see a message "This account has been banned.". This proves that it is likely false and overthought, Destiny 1 will ban you for using CCAPI/PS3MAPI. (i even checked the decrypted executable for any hidden clues on CFW folders but i did not find them, plus a reddit user named Destiny_online6189 also did some extensive testing on that game, he did not make an update about getting banned.) I started extensive testing with Destiny 2 months ago after many researches, and i am testing to see if the Demonware anti-cheat would catch me or the Banhammer would drop on me. I NEVER cheat online nor do i have CCAPI/PS3MAPI installed. The following security is as follows: I mount the game only using Webman MOD (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT USING MULTIMAN FOR MOUNTING THE GAME. A user tried the game with HEN and got banned, he did not use Webman MOD, he only used Multiman), and i simply go to my throwaway user i created just for the game, then i simply disable network connection, and spoof IDPS and PSID, i used yet another CID to protect my real one. Then i used Webman MOD's Triangle+R2 function. Then re-enable network connection and launch game, When prompted, sign in to PSN. Hopefully this method may be outdated when the banhammer drops on me.
