21.02-04.03.00.00-00.00.00.0.1

First BD-J + Kernel access exploit provided by Sleirsgoevy (29/9/22)

Note: Though there are three USERLAND exploits and one KERNEL exploit, there are no public HYPERVISOR exploits available to complete the full exploit chain. A hypervisor exploit was rumoured to be held in private that only works on <3.00 firmware, and recently Flatz confirmed he has developed his own 2.50 HV exploit (kept private) which was chained from a PS4 save game, and has successfully dumped PlayStation Secure Processor (27/07/23).

As of August 4th 2022: We can now install PS4/PS5 PKG games and updates (and by extension FPKGs) however official PKGs cannot be run unless you legitimately owned them previously digitally and have a licence for them on your current console, or if you own the disc (for update pkgs).

As of October 6th PS4 FPKG can be played on 4.03 OFW thanks to Sliersgoevy FPKG enabler!

Payload: https://gbatemp.net/download/4-03-fpkg-enabler-hen.38248/

As of October 21st PS4 FPKG can be played on 4.50 thanks to cheburek3000 porting offsets.

Payload: https://gbatemp.net/download/4-50-fpkg-enabler-hen.38279/

As of October 25th theflow0 fixes BD-J path traversal and native code execution for 7.61
https://x.com/theflow0/status/1717088032031982066?s=46&t=PIYQV4jmWEyCbVfx3Nx26g

As of November 4th ktuff is fixed for 4.51:

Payload: https://gbatemp.net/download/fpkg-enabler-4-51-hen.38306/

Nov 7th PS5 backups loaded via Itemzflow by Lightningmodz and Echostretch. Fully decrypted dumps require system files bundled into them in order to run without crashing with Libhijacker (no hen required), details here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/ps5-exploit-guide.613891/page-109#post-10290677

As of November 30th ps5debug has been released by SiSTR0: https://github.com/GoldHEN/ps5debug
Mirror: https://gbatemp.net/download/ps5debug.38333/

Dec 1st: first PS5 trainer (Dark Souls) is completed ready for the imminent release of REAPER Multi Trainer II by CTN.

Dec 25th: PS5 back up loading via ITEMZFLOW now released: https://pkg-zone.com/details/ITEM00001

As of Jan 2nd 2024 Sleirsgoevy has ported K-Stuff offsets for 3.xx firmwares.

As of Jan 4th 2024 LM had added 3.XX Kstuff to Itemzflow meaning 3.XX-4.51 is now supported for PS4/PS5 backups and dumping.
1: Never enable IDU mode.
If you do you will need to enter staff mode by holding L1 + L2 and tapping this combo: circle, cross, square, triangle, right D-Pad. Release L1 + L2 and you can access settings to exit IDU.

2: Try to stay on the lowest FW possible and wait it out for hacks.

If you are on 1.XX-2.XX do not update at all, it may take years but HV exploit exists in private for this firmware range.
If you are on 3.XX-4.02: the advice is to update to 4.03, but don’t be tempted to update to 4.51 yet.

3: PS5 FPKGs won’t work as HEN and HV/kernel patches do not publicly exist for PS5 content yet.

4: Installing legit game PKGs you do not own will not work, even if spoofed.

5: If you get stuck in a boot loop at the PS logo, this means the SNVS is corrupted (if hash check fails on boot this causes a “soft brick”).

It’s not “bricked”, just reinstall your current firmware RECOVERY PUP in safe mode!

How is your friend progressing? I ask because the general silence of the subject is deathening. After Theflow suggested not updating beyond 8.** fw, i was under the impression that an exploit was certain. Such a shame that there isnt a patreon or crowd funding that would be more appealing for a hacker than a Sony $10,000 reward. Pretty sure the PS5 community could do better than that....
I don’t know whether it is a hard policy for google security researchers, but they seem to favour official bug bounty programmes. Patreon may not be an option for them.

Anyway, the reward of $10,000 is not the motivation here, and is probably half a months salary for him, at best.

Shame because people like me (silent majority) don't usually appear on twitter or other channels to show deep appreciation for these hacks/exploits. Perhaps someone could pass on this info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus to TheFlow. If i win the lottery, more than happy to come back and bankrole these projects ;)

Not my friend, Zecos friend.

Afaik they’re too busy IRL to work on PS5 much.

Everything takes time in this scene.

I don't think many people realize the amount of work that goes into 1) Finding a potential exploit and 2) Figuring if that potential exploit can be leveraged to allow unsigned code.

If it was easy, we would have already have a jailbreak on the latest firmware. I think if more people saw all the work that goes into finding a vulnerability, I would hope they would take a step back a be nice and appreciative of all of the hard work that goes into this stuff. Maybe a video documentary is in order to showcase just how difficult it is just to get a toe into a system's blockade of virtually impenetrable walls. Modern Vintage Gamer does an excellent job for retro console but I would love to see amore in depth look into the PS4 and PS5's security and have it explained in a way that non-technical people can understand.

Also there is A LOT of external hardware involved in probing systems like the PS5 to find flaws. Sony learns from their mistakes (mostly) and I won't pretend to understand 1% of how this stuff is done.

I never got ther whole "he sold out" thing people do when it comes to these hackers just because of the bounty system. Also if you expect the "hacking" community to be generous enough to give even half of what Sony reward him with, then you must not be familiar with some of the drama that stems from how "patient and understanding" the community as a whole has been.

Part of the reason so many reputable, talented devs left this scene was purely down to the entitled little shits crying "eta wen" "omg fucking sellout" "give me my free games, but also fuck you!!"

The dude has a job, this is his career, he's not some sweaty nerd in a basement who just wants to hack for free games on his playstation. (There's already ppl like that who have their private exploits anyway and won't share them).

Best thing anyone can do is just wait, unless you've got the talent to take a crack at it yourself, which is something the vast majority of us don't have. Then you just have to be patient and don't go back to harrassing the shit out of devs and raging like a bunch of entitled crybaby bitches on twitter. (not saying you're doing that, but that sentiment is shared with a lot of those ppl)

Also I don't think it's just the money, it's the recognition of their talent by other people, especially those in the industry. Not to mention since this is his legit job, he doesn't come under fire from Sony at all. I mean he could just say fuck it, take the money and disclose without permission. But it would be his last job with them and he would get sued to oblivion and ruin his reputation, just like he would if he went the route you're suggesting (also don't think patreon etc would be happy with putting themselves in the line of fire either).

Especially when Sony allow him to release most the info after a while anyway, could you imagine if someone like Nintendo had a bounty system. You can eat shit if you think they'd ever allow disclosure of any exploits found if they implemented a similar system to Sony. Also. the amount of ppl who want an exploit for free games is just so small compared to their actual legit player base, or even the ppl who want an exploit for homebrew or, oh I dunno, fucking bloodborne at 60fps for the love of god please give us bloodborne at 60fps wtf Sony!!!

So yeah, just be patient, go do stuff in life and before you know it, it's November and we're all excited for an impending Christmas cfw hype!! (or some shit, idk)

Easy now. Can appreciate the history and drama but i literally made an innocent comment with no expectation or judgment. As i said before the vast majority of people interested hacking their console never say anything in the comment sections but absolutely appreciate the ability to hack their devices. Its the self entitled babies that ruin it for the rest of us and are far more likely to create accounts and leave troll comments.. As a hacker, i wouldnt take any of this to personally though. Are you here for the adulation of the crowd, the rep or simply to "stick it to the man". I fall into the latter.

Its ironic for me because i was never interested in hacking my sony consoles until the PS5 turned up. Its one of the most dissapointing sony products in years but has so much potential as a hacked device. Happy to wait but extremely curious about scene dev on this console.

Is it normal to get 7 kp's in a row on PS5? Idlesauce cache is up to date, it's writing
Trying again tomorrow. If it continues to kp, consider to throw it back in my closet
and playing on my 9.0 PS4, until there's a better jailbreak

Was just getting past the story in Diablo 3
