CTurt Manages Kernel Exploit on PS4

cturt.png

Remember CTurt? The dev who managed to run unsigned code via the 1.76 Webkit exploit on PS4 a few months ago? Remember his cool Pong port to the Webkit exploit? And the Cinoop port?


Well, @CTurt has done it again, and has managed to get his PS4 Kernel exploit working! Using the 1.76 webkit exploit, he's managed to dump the PS4's kernel, and plans on looking for more vulnerabilities that'll work with the latest firmware!

This is excellent news, and definitely a big first step when it comes to current gen hacking! Congratz to CTurt!

:arrow:Source

EDIT 12/18: CTurt has announced he'll be stopping PS4 development, however he has posted a detailed explanation of how to get the kernel exploit working on 1.76 on his github

http://cturt.github.io/ps4-3.html

It's safe to say this isn't the last we'll see of this exploit, and now that he's published some details on how to get it working, I imagine we'll see something neat here soon.

I don't care about 4k. My pc supports 4k input and output, but I don't have a 4k TV or monitor to hook it up to, 1080p on TV looks fine, and whatever the HD 16:10 resolution is for vga monitors looks fine, too.
You might not, but I can at least attest that upon seeing a 4K display showing a game in action at that resolution, I was immediately wowed... the same way I was wowed when 1080p was the big daunting resolution, and stuff like 1024x768 was the normal choice for PC resolutions.

Anyone found a method to buy a >1.76 PS4 in stores? Are there certain bundles or certain serial numbers that are guaranteed to have >1.76?

Yeah. Most ps4s that you can buy in stores have firmwares over 1.74, if you find one with less your lucky. So go for it. If you don't find what your looking for and end up with a firmware below 1.74 just update it.

Is he gonna withhold it for "piracy and cheating reasons™"?
kek
Hopefully it actually gets released.
That's what I was wondering, but it's only viable on such a low firmware that not many people would get to use it anyway. I'd rather use the money to fix my cfw ps3. The only ps4 game i want right now is Disgaea 5.

Whoa.. Don't jump to get it right away. We bought PS4 a month ago in Portugal that came with 2.56. Be patient. They said the higher FW is possible since one just test on 3.11. Here is the source:

Apparently it reports that could be effective for FW higher but that is waiting to be confirmed. For now, only those who are in 1.76 could soon enjoy their consoles released.

If its not released for newer firmwares (which it probably won't be for awhile), it would nice if they made a downgrader like the PS3 had. Wasn't there also a downgrader that was software based? I think it was called Factory Service Mode? It would be cool if that was in the PS4 as well that let people downgrade their PS4 consoles to an exploitable firmware and then we get CFW for PS4 that will let you go online. I have no intention to mod games or nothing. I'd just like home-brew ability and still be able to take the PS4 online. Emulators with NetPlay on PS4 would be pretty cool.

@CTurt I know you must hate this question with a burning passion but do you think this can at one point maybe 3 years down the road be used for backup loading in some fashion either through ISO mounting or launching whatever the equivalent of a default.xex from a 360 disc is on a PS4 ISO and no i'm not asking you to make anything nor do I want to know if you are making something a simple yes or no would be nice :).

Good luck finding one with 1.76.
This aint as easy as finding a 9.2 3ds.

How hard exactly? I need to know for completely non-piracy related reasons.

If its to hard, I'll just go back to playing on my 4 3DS's, 3 Gameboys, Wii, Wii U, my laptop, Alienware Alpha, Dsi XL, and (almost) every Amiibo in existence. :P
