Hacking Whats is hello world screen?and Wololo make a big step with that?

[michael18]

hello guys recentyl i found this on jailbreakscene.com.Because i dont know much about ps vita hack can anyone explain me what is this?a big step to hack it? or not?

Long-time developer Wololo has confirmed that the PS Vita exploit, discovered by Teck4 is indeed real and working. What’s next for the PS Vita scene? Expect the ‘Half-Byte Loader’ (HBL) to make an appearance on PS Vita. One suggestion from Wololo, wait until PS Vita is available in North America and Europe before releasing this exploit.

Last week, an exploit on the PS Vita through the PSP emulator was by Mamosuke. The exploit was found by Teck4, and, we won’t stress it enough, is a PSP exploit that gives us user mode access within the PSP emulator on the Vita. So this is not a Vita exploit per se, but it’s still very cool. Mamosuke confirmed this with a video a few days ago, and today I was able to confirm the exploit myself as shown in the video below (and I must admit that I spent way too much time working on that basic flame effect). The video below shows the exploit running on both a PSP 1000 and the PS Vita.


I spent a amount of time today confirming some of my hopes that it will be possible to run HBL, at least to some extent, with that exploit. It doesn’t mean I have ported HBL to the Vita yet, but I have strong hopes this will be possible. A handful of hackers are working on bringing HBL to the Vita (I won’t mention their names here as I don’t know if they want to be contacted on the subject), and it should be “relatively” easy to get something to work fairly soon. (It should be noted though that the Vita is quite and crashed on me several times when it went into “sleep” mode from the exploit screen… from there – am I just paranoid? – it seems it is impossible to reboot the machine for almost 10 minutes, which made me think I had bricked my vita… could it be a anti-hacking security? If the console detects several crashes, it takes longer to boot, in to prevent brusteforce types of attacks?)
I won’t discuss any release yet, it doesn’t on me only (this is, after all, Teck4′s exploit), but if I have my opinion to give on the subject, I would suggest to wait until the Vita is released in Europe and in the US. This gives us some time to polish HBL on this device, and hopefully the vulnerabilities we use to run HBL won’t have been patched by then.
This is of course just a challenge with little to no interest… once we publicly reveal the exploit (in particular, the game used in it), it will be extremely easy for Sony to patch it (or remove the game from the Playstation Store), so probably only a few people will be able to benefit from it… but only time will tell, there is still hope, after all, that Sony doesn’t care about a tool that allows us to run user mode psp homebrews in a sandboxed emulator.

The article specifically says that it's a PSP exploit using the Vita's PSP emulator and probably nothing will come in terms of Vita hacking from it.

You're gonna need a Vita exploit for Vita hacking, not a PSP exploit on the Vita for hacking.

A "Hello World" program is usually the first , and most basic piece of unsigned code that is launched from a device by homebrew developpers. It does what it says, it simply says Hello World. It is a proof of concept that you can run your own code on the machine. In this case, its via PSP emulation, on the PS VITA, so its not a VITA "Hello World" , but its a Hello World running on that machine. It may or may not lead to hacking the VITA more, depending on what is allowed to do with the system while in PSP mode.

Mostlikely it won't do much for the VITA itself, but its a start.
