Hey dudes, questions are being asked about the security of PS4 ( in my mind ). Given that PS4 uses ARM Truszone for memory security, probably key protection too and checking boot-chain after bootrom sets it up.
No one has ever tried to looking what is running on the same security level to see what is possible to do, without go in against hardware security.
With a little research you can see that ARM truszone is also used in IOS systems for kernel r/w.
Ideas ?

Dude, the ps4 scene have the most talented people out there who meddle with exploit..but none of them are willing to release a kexploit to Sony patch it in a few hours or days...wait for the EOL of the console or wait theflow to release a kexploit for a patched firmware ( 6.20..) the current firmware will never have a kex at the moment....

ok..if you think that nobody has thought about what you said..you are being naive..
no, I'm not naive.
It may be that no one has thought this, since the PS4 scene as an entry point only exploits the webkit (publicly, privately I do not know what and who has uses )

Two years ago the guys behind fail0verflow posted a PoC on how to achieve permanent(?) code execution on Aeolia and Belize (plus an exploit on the HDMI CEC), so I'm aligning with @Bergot on this one. ^__~

Also attacking the browser is easy because usually is someone else doing the legwork, someone showed another WebKit RCE a few weeks ago IIRC.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her into the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
