Not to burst your bubble or anything, but...

If you were online with your PSP using your home network and you used an online port scanner, all the portscanner found were the open ports on your router... not your PSP.

Remember, on your wireless network, your router is acessing the internet, not your PSP directly. When it scans your IP, the scanner is "talking" to the router, not your PSP.

You would get the same results if you went to the same page using another PC on your network.

Unless I'm missing something, this is probably what happened.

um.... im using a port scanner and it is directly talking with the psp. right now its scanning all 65535 ports, so its taking a long ass time. when ports are scanning, the only ports that are showed are the ones that are open for communication. ill tell you what ports i find... i remember someone saying they scanned for ports and found it only had 2 but...i figure i look further being i dout someone scanned each port like i am at the moment being it takes a really long time..

yea i was scanning my psp too but i understand whawt he is saying about the router... i only scanned the first 10000 ports and found 2 the Pop3 and SMTP both are commonly used for sending and receiving data (obvious) but like i posted earlier not sure what UDP ports are used for and it came back with alot...

Well i think he is right :P In japan you can play demo's in store's via wifi from your memory stick. When you go away from the acces point the game wont work again. So i think he got a point. It is like game sharing

depends what way ur router is configured with regards to port forwarding

i forgot that after so many minutes my psp goes in hibernation... so i didnt find any ports using my scanner.....dont know why i didnt find any but it didnt show any with the final result.

i had to keep going to different sites to scan mine... we need a hacker on this board or one who knows how to manage ports and what the difference is between ports

Well...yeah...if you're routing the whole port range into your PSP.

And another thing: Just because you can get remote access to a system, doesn't mean you have complete control over it. In fact, 99% of any form of remote access doesn't allow you complete control over a system.

Furthermore: An open port is no indication whatsoever of the PSP acting as a server for Remote Access of any kind.

On a final note: If the PSP had a resident Remote Access Server running, it would have been found by now, since dumping the memory of the PSP isn't exactly new.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not the negative type, and I believe anything can be done and no system is perfect. The chances of hacking ANY firmware on the PSP are pretty high, it's just a matter of time. And the PSP has been hacked a LOT for the little time it has been around.

It's just that finding a way to remote access the PSP through the network seems a little too obvious and far fetched, but I'm not bashing you, every angle should be looked at.

i agree... i don't think we are taking it as bashing... just looking at different angles... onto the switch Wireless on and Wireless off... ha
