Very simple guide to find your console ID, which can be used to resign save games or other nefarious tasks.

Tools required:
Privoxy
Wireshark with winPcap

1. Start by downloading and installing the tools required.
2. Find your local IP address for your ethernet/wireless adapter by running a command prompt and typing ipconfig.
3. In privoxy, open options and click edit main configuration.
4. Change listen-address from 127.0.0.1 to the pc ip from command prompt, save config and restart privoxy.
5. On the PS3, set the proxy server to the settings listed in the listen-address of privoxy (pc ip address port 8118).
6. Back on PC, run wireshark and select your ethernet/wireless adapter to capture. Start capturing data.
7. On PS3, connect to the PS Store while wireshark is running.
8. Using wireshark, press Ctrl+f and search for 0000000100, select string, and select packet bytes searching for ASCII unicode & Non-unicode.
9. Click find and you should see a 32 byte code containing the first 10 bytes you searched for.

This is your console id, congratulations!

I did not see that, it was not posted in tutorial sub-forums. Basically the same concept only I use privoxy since it doesn't require you to install .net runtimes. Mines a little easier on the eyes

At the moment there's no way to get your console ID on OFW.
Sucks.
