Hacking PS4 question

[PikachuPrincess23]

Is it possible that PS4 with firmware 7.00 or older could be jailbreaked in the near future?

Anything older then PS4 5.05 can be "jailbreaked" any thing recent getting hacked your guess is good as mine.


so if you are on older the 5.05 read this https://gbatemp.net/threads/aio-ps4-exploit-guide.497858/ anything newer. dont hold on to your breath.

Oh okay thank you for answer my question.
Sadly I have PS4 with firmware 7.02 and I wish it was possible to downgrade PS4.

When things happen they tend to happen quite quickly and with little warning. I can't sit here and say that it won't happen but at the same time I can't say it's going to happen tomorrow either. It's always been a cat and mouse game when it comes to hacks, whether it be software or hardware. It will happen but like back in the day with software on the Amiga / Atari ST, I can't remember the name of the game off the top of my head ( I really should) but it had a ludicrously complex anti-piracy system, it was layers upon, layers of protections and just when you thought you had them all a new one would pop up. It drove crackers ... well crackers. To the edge of madness would be perhaps a better phrase. Eventually it was cracked*, but the software company didn't care anymore. It was a year later and they had made the vast majority of the money they were gonna earn from it.

* Turned out the main protection was a 'fuzzy bit' a bit on the disk that could be read as a 0 or a 1 inconsistently and couldn't be reproduced by copiers back in the day

As for the OP, there are some indications that there is a kernel vulnerability kept under wraps for the time being. As for why there's not much out there, might be because $ony hasn't patched it out yet.
There are apparently also some hardware and software exploits related to the BD drive, and when that gets out in the wild it'll hopefully lead to something interesting, see more here in the coming days:

My PS4 came with 6.0, and I have no intention of connecting it to the internet. Sooner or later the cat will be out of the bag and the pros of waiting it out easily outweighs the cons, at least for me.

Not another "will x be hackable soon?" thread.

Nobody knows.

A little off topic, but I am planning on getting a PS4 FW under 5.05, ive done a little research, but just want to know from the community, once I get it jailbroken can I play all the latest games, or will I be limited to games on FW 5.05?

 

[YOUCANTSTOPME]

IIRC, limited to 5.05 and under games.
