PS5 Exploit Guide

Apparently there will be some disappointments, even if it's a bug that's a year old, we hope that this time he will be able to disclose something.

The way I read that it sorta sounds to me like they patched another bdjb in 11.60 like in PS4 12.52.

I agree, also zeco said people who are on a firmware between 10.20 and 11.60 : pair drive and wait.

if he ask to pair and wait it's because there is something with bdjb.

And I just updated to 11.60.

Have a Pro on stock 9.40 FW (no disc). You believe this is worth grabbing a drive and updating to latest 11.60 FW?

I ve tried this tool: nothing.

Games dont run (Capcom Arcade Stadium 1 and 2). Someone could try too...

Try to contact this user, if you can, and ask how did he do...
For example, did he used base game fixed + patch update NOT FIXED +
Dlc (FIXED)?

We need the exact combination!

humm. one quick question:

are you using the last etaHEN-2.2B ?

This is very important to know if you are using the last etaHen with you FW 7.xx..
If not, try to use the last etaHEN-2.2B and not the old ones..

In reference to slidybat bug. Was patched much sooner than thought. So Zeco suggestion needs to be revised. Doesn't really matter I suppose as best advice is to pair a drive and just stop updating asap if you intend to JB your PS5.

It’s entirely up to you. If you want a disc drive paired and a long wait, do it.

I’m still holding out for a webkit exploit for digital people up to 7.61, even though I have a disc 3.20 sat unused

Staying low is always the best advice, so it was weird for Zeco to suggest updating (I assume he only meant for 10.xx-11.xx) but now it seems the exploit was patched a while ago.

You’re on 9.xx so it’s a grey area: maybe the exploit effects 9.xx… risk vs reward? Who knows.

This “scene” is too unstable to be fun imho.

Digital (discless) consoles are the bane of this ecosystem.

You just summed it up everything.

Something tells me there is a WebKit exploit on 5.50+, but for some reason, they don’t want to disclose it yet.

It’s as if the devs have some kind of deal with Sony — like 'promote hacking through Lua,' which would push people to buy an Artemis Engine game, and so the games would sell faster."

Bless you but I have my doubts about the global "LUA" Conspiracy theory. More likely that a WebKit exploit exists but Devs waiting for a 2nd one in case the 1st one is patched after release. Better to have a backup for future firmwares...

Im agree with you, but in 2025 anything is possible, especially if there is money involved, so...

Lol.

I do think we live in a weird time where Kernel exploits outweigh userland, it’s unheard of.

There simply must be another way, that doesn’t exclude digital users.

Sony made disc drives pair this way for this exact reason, to force updates. So my philosophy (for hackers) is just don’t get a disc drive and play the long game.

I’m honestly still not bothered with PS4 or PS5 backups yet. I have been playing everything I want on the PS+ library on my PS5 pro + disc drive for £100 a year (or cheaper with discounts).

If I buy a £80 weeb game, then what? I’ll be playing the exact same games I’ve already played that work up to 7.61.

PS4 games is more tempting ironically.

Want to play THPS3+4…

If I were a developer, I'd sit on a webkit bug until Sony themselves discovered/patched it so it would get patched as high as possible. Knowing how lazy Sony is, there's a decent chance that even the 11.XX firmwares might have something Sony hasn't found yet that developers found back in 6.XX-10.XX.

Honestly though, without fpkg, webkit just isn't super exciting. I'm a bit of a trophy hunter and until that security chip gets pwned or some other way of running fpkgs there's no way to get em. That's what I'm waiting for.

Might not be a popular opinion but I have little sympathy for people who went down the digital console route. Two fold.
Sony, MS, etc want you trapped in their average and over priced digital eco systems.
My refusal to comply is exactly why my choices and commitment to physical+disc has been rewarded with the ps5 JB scene via an additional userland.
And I will further double down by saying WebKit is useful but only to those trapped with digital consoles above 5.xx fw.
Both BD-JB and Lua exploit are both fantastic options and have matured a lot over last 5 months.

Currently, LUA is future proof and WebKit is uncertain. Sell your digital console and buy an older disc one with fw below 8.20.
Either that or continue to hold out for months or year for WebKit. Your choice.
I'm making this suggestion on the basis that you are mostly interested in the ps5 for playing backups and do not have a 2nd console.

I still wait with fat disc PS5 with 6.50 FW...

I still hope that something interesting will appear for PS5 JB one day... like new features, backports, game patches, cheats etc.

Fat with disk on 6.50 = JB or lua, you can jailbreak your PS5.

I don't want your sympathy lol, I just prefer to use the "definitive" version of the console - the ps5 pro.
It means I will have to wait longer, that's fine (of course I want a hack today).
Needing a physical disk to hack the console is not an idea situation, it's just the one we're stuck with at the moment.
Whenever a webkit exploit is released, these conversations will just become history.

Seems odd that there would be a major exploit on the latest FW. Also, the way its worded is odd also as he should know to pair the drive, you have to update to 11.60 FW. Did the make a follow up post in the comments? I don't have an X account.

In the time it took you to have that thought and write that sentence, I was able to load up etahen/kStuff and start playing Nine Sols.
