PS4 Kernel Exploit Leaked

The Holy Grail of PS4 hacking, discovered by CTurt some time ago but never released, has been leaked today. Known as the BADIRET exploit, it gives full access to the PS4 hardware. It was designed to work for firmware version 1.76 originally, but sources say it -may- work up to 2.01 with a different entrypoint.

(If I have my facts straight, the common webkit exploit was patched after 1.76, but the BADIRET exploit was not patched until after 2.01)

Currently, not much can be done with this, although Team fail0verflow does have an interesting Linux loader that is open source and seems to be fairly functional at this time, the only thing they don't supply is the hack (BADIRET) to load it with.

On a side note, be prepared to drop some MAJOR cash on one of these old firmware PS4's. Maybe you will have some luck here:

Kodi.tv running on my PS4? Yes ma'am!

(Editor's Note: I have a 1.71 PS4 that I will update and personally test this on once I get back from my mini-vacation!)

Will firmwares pre 1.76 be viable for this?

Not sure what versions the WebKit exploit works on. BADIRET should work for all previous firmware up to 2.01. You should be able to update to 1.76 with a GTA V disk or with the firmware PUP (http://www.ps3devwiki.com/ps4/1.760.000) on a USB stick.

This is useless because this firmware is so old only someone with no Internet would be on it. So wake me up when someone find something important, which means something on latest firmware.

I purchased a console on 1.76 firmware for $400 a few months ago. Kernel code exec is the first step in opening up the system for further exploitation. This will lead to a better understanding of the internal operating system and the crypto engine and help drive new exploit development for future versions. In other words, this is very important, just not for script kiddies. ;P

Gonna shell out for the knack bundle new then thanks

Hey, I ended up buying the Grand Theft Auto V/ The Last of Us Remastered Bundle new for $369.99 on ebay a few months ago (right when Cturt announced the exploit). Not sure how much the Knack bundle is??? I would deferentially recommend looking around on eBay/Amazon and directly messaging the sellers for more info. You might even be able to find a used one on older firmware! :o I would personally look for consoles that don't include any cables or games (just the console) as it is more likely to have been sitting collecting dust some ware. Like when I was hunting down an older Wii U I searched for ones without the Gamepad and directly messaged the seller to confirm firmware version.

between having this kernel exploit and actually having the ability to play ps4 games man we are far from it maybe 1 year if the kernel exploit is actually relevant to running ps4 games

I'm sure cobra will release something sooner or later :)

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
