The PlayStation scene has been on quite the streak lately, as not only has the latest console by Sony been exploited to allow access to debug settings in-console,which can be achieved through several methods, be it webkit exploit, BD-JB or through PS2 Classics, but now the exploits can now serve a purpose beyond some proof of concept and some homebrew SDK being available.

On May 22nd, user Sleirsgoevy released a payload that makes use of the currently known webkit and userland exploit for the PS5 to allow dumping decrypted binaries of PlayStation 5 games, although the methodology to be able to do this is still locked to the PS5's exploitable firmware of 4.03, but it should be possible to port the current payload to the latest compatible exploitable firmware, that being 4.51. The dumping method relies on FTP to send the decrypted binary through a connection to another device.

​

While it was already possible to dump PS5 games, it was only possible to do so with the binaries being encrypted, with this new method allowing for fully dumping decrypted binaries now. This opens up the ability for users to dump their own games and preserve them, and this could also open up the doors for work on a PlayStation 5 emulator, since there could now be easier ways to test compatibility, if such a thing were to come.

As a particular side note, user Zecoxao has mentioned that it is now possible to dump the SCE modules of the console as well.

Theirs also alleged rumors that ps4 9.0 users can access PSN soon.

This is not true.

 

[K3Nv2]

This is not true.

Again alleged who knows what's possible with cfw.

We can’t have CFW without keys, and those keys do not reside on the console.

Also the PSN “handshake” or passphrase changes regularly, so even with CFW you would struggle to get online without the latest credentials, honestly: not going to happen.

There is no CFW for PS4.

I don't think ppl should trust Google Translate. Maybe what they meant was, PS4/PSN games will work on older firmware.

I kinda figure at this point that while it might be possible, that anyone who figures it out will just take Sony's $$$

I thought PS3 allowed test kits online with older firmware, so maybe it meant that. Though I suspect you'll get banned pretty quickly.

That's a possibility it still makes me wonder why people think things are "impossible" when it comes to the hacking scene.

WOOT WOOT

 

[linuxares]

Hold your horses. PS5 release incoming

 

[KiiWii]

Nothing is impossible. It’s just not going to happen.

Because so far it has been impossible for a PS4 CFW, as we don't have the keys like what @KiiWii said.

A good start for PS5 preservation, though the space to store all those games is going to be quite something.

Also, this means we can finally port the Japan exclusive Ys VIII DLCs to PC and Vita, if someone dumps the decrypted PS5 version of the game.
Some DLCs were never shared/preserved, since they were originally bundled as store exclusive preorders when the game first launched for the Vita in Japan. Another one was included in a video game magazine as a download code.
Thanks to NISA for putting every single one of those DLCs into their PS5 release.

Well can't be shared here so keep that in mind.

nothing is impossible to hack/crack
The only thing companies can do is make their stuff harder to hack/crack, but they CANT make them impossible to

Uninformed as always.

Well spoofing and playing on PSN is a lot harder since it's also server side.

The original tweet didn't mention CFW, just converting your PS4 to a test kit. Presumably with official firmware.

That I know, but @K3N1 said about the possibility of CFW, we don't have a CFW for PS4, just a exploit that treat the PS4 like a development/test kit.
