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.

    @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 in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM

  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
