PSList: PS3 Friends List for PC

PSList is a program developed by a PlayStation.com forums user lets you login to the PlayStation Network and view your PSN friends list. It shows thing such as friend requests pending, users online and what game they're playing, and who's offline.

Hopefully, you're being smart and don't want to enter your PSN userid and password. However, I decided to be brave, open a couple monitoring tools, and watched what happened.

When you first open the program, before you type anything in, the program phones home for an update file. It connects to 98.240.184.47 and downloads /psnfriends/update.html, which appears to just contain a version number.

Once you sign in, it connects to a few IP addresses: 204.2.133.96, 174.129.213.213, and 66.35.205.120. The last one connects via HTTPS (for authentication), while the other two connect via just HTTP port 80.

204.2.133.96 is NTT America, an IT Solutions provider, and appeared to provide the avatars
174.129.213.213 is Amazon Web Services, and appeared to provide user profile data, and finally
66.35.205.120 is SCEA.

tl;dr version: It doesn't appear to be malicious. It seems to work for what it is, and I look forward to seeing more updates with more features :)
