What is DNAS?

DNAS (Dynamic Network Authentication System) is a proprietary authentication system developed by the folks at Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. in Japan. It checks to see the game you are using is not a DVD-R or CD-R copy of a PS2 game. Not only does it check the software, but it also checks your hardware (it can possibly check for cheat devices or mod-chips). For example, if you’ve been banned from SOCOM II for cheating, this system will stop you from logging in. The data is then sent back to Sony Computer Entertainment America.
