Hacking A Webkit Exploit PoC has just been released for PS4 OFW 3.50.

I just don't want that all the good old games will be ruined by hacker lobbies like they did on the ps3

It's likely that you will get a ban from PSN if they detect somethig weird with your PS4 just like what thy did back in the PS3.

I don't know that much about what's going on with the ps4 hacking scene, but how far away are we from memory editing/RAM hacking?
Shouldn't it be possible with kernel access like on the Wii U?

This is exciting news. Hopefully there's a way to play backup games soon.

is there any video of PS4 1.76 running backups?

For those of us still on OFW 3.50, is it safe to update to the newly released 3.55? or would that somehow disable this WebKit exploit thus hindering any opportunity of future homebrew potential?

Figures that I hadn't played my PS4 in a month or two, decided to turn it on like a day or 2 ago, updated the Firmware, and NOW I find this?! I'm going to be really upset if 3.50 turns out to be the needed FW for a hugely amazing exploit

Bump. I would like to know as I wouldn't mind updating if it's safe to in order to use online services

if you expect a hack out of this i guess you should not update at all.
this news was online far too long. i guess the update fixed it.

I dont really care for an exploit on ps4... its my main online device so no reason to hack it.
i updated - no major changes ... but i guess the PoC is not working anymore?
Not quite sure.... i could test it maybe... just not now ^^'

Okay, please let me know when you've tested it out, I would love a potential exploit if it ever happens, and too many times have I updated and missed my opportunity. But if the update indeed stops this exploit I will refrain from updating any further.

Very good news. Thanks to world of warcraft I haven't turned on my ps4 in months
