As I said before the exploit is real but that doesn't mean it'll be publicly released.

And that would be sad. I can wait for a safe time to publish it, but keeping it forever secret would be very sad.

But Chaitin weren't the only ones to know about that exploit. They pissed off quite a few people who had been sitting on the exploit when they gave it to Sony.

Makes me question why other groups/teams haven't released it themselves.

Maybe they're afraid of Sony's lawyers?

So the PS4 is pretty much never going to be exploited because of legal issues?

sj33 · Dec 21, 2016

This is how internet rumours start.

Nobody said that the exploit won't be released, nobody said people are afraid of getting sued by Sony. This is an assumption from one person which is already being accepted as fact.

As always, the lack of info and the will to know produces assumptions (wrong ones usually by the lack of info) to keep the train going towards our goal (or not).

damn it... I'm on 4.07... I really want a mod menu in gta V...

Mr.ButtButt · Jan 18, 2017

I dealt with the fact that it probably wouldn't get released for a long time, and I've got games to play so whatever

Not many ppl on the ps4 hacking scene are attention whores like geohot is/was. It's easy to sue someone who publicly disclose 0day exploit and put his name on it.

Very true, Marcan stated if he was afraid of Sony he would leak the exploit to some private 3rd party site.

Hiya, i'm new to the PS4 Hacking & Homebrew Scene, I have a few questions

A) Is it possible to play Backups and/or homebrew on the PS4 AFTER jailbreaking and what other features are there?
B) Which versions is it possible to Jailbreak the PS4
C) Whether you can still play online after jailbreaking
D) Can this be done on the PS4 Pro yet?

Not necessarily, but that's what laws are for. All legal issues that could arise from publicizing exploits are speculation at this point. But if the laws are effective, and Sony's lawyers are efficient, they honestly should do all that they can to prevent piracy.

1. No
2. None
3. No
4. No

Kernel level unsigned code execution in v1.76 doesn't count as jailbreak?

yusuo · Jan 31, 2017

Ive got like 30 games, when this exploit become available i'll just sell my current ps4 + all games and get another new one plus a 4tb drive for loading backups, not going to miss out on some overwatch in the mean time though

Running linux is pretty much useless for people looking to pirate.

So what. I am patient. Since we have PS4 with 2.57 last November 2015.

Still, the "jail" is technically broken. Or is it?

Wikipedia said:
A jailbreak is the act or tool used to perform the act of breaking out of a chroot or jail in UNIX-like operating systems[2] or bypassing digital rights management (DRM). In the former case, it allows the user to see files outside of the filesystem that the administrator intends to make available to the application or user in question. In the context of DRM, this allows the user to run arbitrarily defined code on devices with DRM as well as break out of chroot-like restrictions. The term originated with the iPhone/iOS jailbreaking community and has also been used as a term for PlayStation Portable hacking; these devices have repeatedly been subject to jailbreaks, allowing the execution of arbitrary code, and sometimes have had those jailbreaks disabled by vendor updates.

iOS systems including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch have been subject to iOS jailbreaking efforts since they were released, and continuing with each firmware update.[3][4] iOS jailbreaking tools include the option to install Cydia, a third-party alternative to the App Store, as a way to find and install system tweaks and binaries. To prevent iOS jailbreaking, Apple has made the device boot ROM execute checks for SHSH blobs in order to disallow uploads of custom kernels and prevent software downgrades to earlier, jailbreakable firmwares. In an "untethered" jailbreak, the iBoot environment is changed to execute a boot ROM exploit and allow submission of a patched low level bootloader or hack the kernel to submit the jailbroken kernel after the SHSH check.

A similar method of jailbreaking exists for S60 Platform smartphones, which involves installing softmod-style patches which involves patching certain ROM files while loaded in RAM[5][6] or edited firmware (similar to the M33 hacked firmware used for the PlayStation Portable)[7] to circumvent restrictions on unsigned code. Nokia has since issued updates to curb unauthorised jailbreaking, in a manner similar to Apple.

In the case of gaming consoles, jailbreaking is often used to execute homebrew games. In 2011, Sony, with assistance from law firm Kilpatrick Stockton, sued 21-year-old George Hotz and associates of the group fail0verflow for jailbreaking the PlayStation 3 (see Sony Computer Entertainment America v. George Hotz and PlayStation Jailbreak).

Technically, "jailbreaking" is a term associated with iOS.
Many people (especially ill informed) have started to associate it with general hacking and exploiting.

"HOW 2 JAILBREAK WII U" "How do i jailbreak xbox" etc etc.

Same can be said for people who say "kernal instead of kernel"
But that's just nitpicking.

But yes, There's a kernel exploit on 1.76 which allows us to run Linux.
However, there's no backup tool or ANY modification of the game OS publicly known.
So, again, running linux is useless for people who want to pirate.
All they care about is running pirated games and not the interesting security side (or the homebrew side)
