zelda? Final Fantasy? (open source)

O_o A MAC address in no way is a way into a PSP, especially because you have no idea what the PSP's IP even is. =p Good luck finding the thing in the first place. And even if one were to FIND the PSP, access it, and apparently perform magic with the MAC (which I have no idea what you'd do), there's no known way of accessing the PSP and actually modifying the system through wifi.

So.. no, you can't hack that guy's PSP. ^_- And you can take that to the bank.

Onto the topic at hand.. has anyone actually looked at what Final Dreams is? He says it's like Final Fantasy, but from what I saw when I downloaded it and looked at screenshots, it's a very, very rudamentary and basic game. It doesn't even look any good. I'm sure someone would be just as well off to start their own engine.

accualy, you can find the IP address of the intire network by pinging the mac address, its a difficult process, but it is possible.. from that then I have an IP address, and from that I could access the intire network..

if you've ever called comcast with a high speed cable net issue, they can track your MAC address all the way to your house address.. its just like an IP address, if you know what it is, you can learn what the systems are on the same line..

I do appoligse for going off topic, and I realy have nothing else to say on the topic at hand, but I felt like its my duty to warn people that have their MAC addresses on a forum, its not totaly safe, especialy since there is a lot of true programmers, and coders on here..

and also to inform people that dont know anything about networking that it could totaly be possible to hack a computer that didnt have a firewall, (and a psp doesent)
and even the computers that do have firewalls, its not hard to move around them lol

and no, I myself am not a hacker, so all are safe..
however I pride myself on knowledge, and learned how to do these kind of things

True....almost. You can't just ping a mac address. When you send the ping request to the mac address if the router your sending it to has no table of what port that address is on then it'll never reach it's destination. And comcast can see the modem by the mac address because they are on the same network, they know your house number because your mac address is associated with your account. Secondly, while comcast can see the modem they can't see behind it because most people have a NAT router. The NAT router makes requests on behalf of the computer, it stores the mac address (and it's associated port) and passes it on to the public IP (the IP of the modem). If someone were to find that IP there's very little they could do with it, the NAT router will not and cannot forward information it was not expecting. It's just how they work. If you look at your IP if your on a router it will be defaulted to 192.168.1.x or on some newer routers 192.168.15.x (if you have a Linksys it will be 192.168.1.101 on the first computer and up to 192.168.1.149, netgear will be 192.168.1.2 for most of their routers). Go ahead and check, I'll wait.........See, now you get it. Just because you have the mac you can't get into their PSP. And even if you could trace it back to them (say you were on the same comcast node for example) to have their PSP on the network would require a wireless router, all routers are NAT routers, and therefore the PSP's IP would be a private address (192.168.1.x) and CANNOT be touched by the outside world unless the router expects the packet. And most firewalls are VERY difficult to get around. They simply ignore packets they aren't expecting.

Anyway, just wanted to clarify that. It's part of my job to understand these things, I setup networks all day

well you can say that, but I still say that its possible to find out the mac address of a computer on a network iregardless of if its on a NAT router, its still possible to get to the MAC address by communicating with it...

your right about pinging, I simply said that so other people would at least somewhat understand.

and P.S. get yer arse on icq foo!

Wait, so you can't download this game and play it on your PC? It's just source code?
