Hacking How to block Updates on 5.05?

[Oemmi]

Hello Together,

is there already a way to block updates on 5.05 permanently?

Thanks

probably use the update blocker, use a wifi stick, or block the url's on the router or via a proxy. I'm using the last one.

 

[Oemmi]

ok thanks!

I followed this guide:


It uses two DNS IP's to block the Update:
108.61.128.158
165.227.83.145

That worked for me

 

[godreborn]

I dunno. never tried that.

i'll wait for a 8266 bin file for ps4 5.05. so i don't have to care about update.

You can try LightningMods PS4-5.01-Update-Blocker-HEN search it on github I can't share links

Or just ftp in and place a fake <1mb update file there to prevent it, just like the blocker do.

The files that it creates are two and could be empty, the only important thing is the path, so you can also create directories with those names (in previous HEN implementations every time the exploit is run the two paths below are deleted and recreated with mkdir):

/update/PS4UPDATE.PUP
/update/PS4UPDATE.PUP.net.temp

I have folders with those names, are they files or folders?

 

[MostlyUnharmful]

They are folders because it's "easier" (usually one syscall instead of two ^__^) to create a directory than an empty file and you can't have a file and a dir with the same path, but on an inode based filesystem everything is a file.

If you look at Vortex implementation (https://github.com/xvortex/ps4-hen-vtx/blob/master/installer/source/main.c)
the function patch_update at line 113 the two unlink syscalls delete the two files/dirs defined above in the code, followed by the creation of the two directory (mkdir) with the same path.

you have to enable the blocker every time you reboot the system right? like mira then blocker.

No, unless you or something else deletes the two files.
