First BD-J + Kernel access exploit provided by Sleirsgoevy (29/9/22)

Note: Though there are three USERLAND exploits and one KERNEL exploit, there are no public HYPERVISOR exploits available to complete the full exploit chain. A hypervisor exploit was rumoured to be held in private that only works on <3.00 firmware, and recently Flatz confirmed he has developed his own 2.50 HV exploit (kept private) which was chained from a PS4 save game, and has successfully dumped PlayStation Secure Processor (27/07/23).

Spoiler: Hacking Timeline

As of August 4th 2022: We can now install PS4/PS5 PKG games and updates (and by extension FPKGs) however official PKGs cannot be run unless you legitimately owned them previously digitally and have a licence for them on your current console, or if you own the disc (for update pkgs).

As of October 6th PS4 FPKG can be played on 4.03 OFW thanks to Sliersgoevy FPKG enabler!

Payload: https://gbatemp.net/download/4-03-fpkg-enabler-hen.38248/

As of October 21st PS4 FPKG can be played on 4.50 thanks to cheburek3000 porting offsets.

Payload: https://gbatemp.net/download/4-50-fpkg-enabler-hen.38279/

As of October 25th theflow0 fixes BD-J path traversal and native code execution for 7.61
https://x.com/theflow0/status/1717088032031982066?s=46&t=PIYQV4jmWEyCbVfx3Nx26g

As of November 4th ktuff is fixed for 4.51:

Payload: https://gbatemp.net/download/fpkg-enabler-4-51-hen.38306/

Nov 7th PS5 backups loaded via Itemzflow by Lightningmodz and Echostretch. Fully decrypted dumps require system files bundled into them in order to run without crashing with Libhijacker (no hen required), details here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/ps5-exploit-guide.613891/page-109#post-10290677

As of November 30th ps5debug has been released by SiSTR0: https://github.com/GoldHEN/ps5debug
Mirror: https://gbatemp.net/download/ps5debug.38333/

Dec 1st: first PS5 trainer (Dark Souls) is completed ready for the imminent release of REAPER Multi Trainer II by CTN.

Dec 25th: PS5 back up loading via ITEMZFLOW now released: https://pkg-zone.com/details/ITEM00001

As of Jan 2nd 2024 Sleirsgoevy has ported K-Stuff offsets for 3.xx firmwares.

As of Jan 4th 2024 LM had added 3.XX Kstuff to Itemzflow meaning 3.XX-4.51 is now supported for PS4/PS5 backups and dumping.

1: Never enable IDU mode.
If you do you will need to enter staff mode by holding L1 + L2 and tapping this combo: circle, cross, square, triangle, right D-Pad. Release L1 + L2 and you can access settings to exit IDU.

2: Try to stay on the lowest FW possible and wait it out for hacks.

If you are on 1.XX-2.XX do not update at all, it may take years but HV exploit exists in private for this firmware range.
If you are on 3.XX-4.02: the advice is to update to 4.03, but don’t be tempted to update to 4.51 yet.

3: PS5 FPKGs won’t work as HEN and HV/kernel patches do not publicly exist for PS5 content yet.

4: Installing legit game PKGs you do not own will not work, even if spoofed.

5: If you get stuck in a boot loop at the PS logo, this means the SNVS is corrupted (if hash check fails on boot this causes a “soft brick”).

It’s not “bricked”, just reinstall your current firmware RECOVERY PUP in safe mode!

Is it because Idlesauce has been updated, that all the sudden ps2 Fpkgs is working on PS5
Or has they always worked. Because im almost sertain i coulden't get them to work 2 months ago

Saying im almost sertain PS2 Fpkgs didn't work, then im 100% sure that PSX Fpkgs didn't work
Maybe it has something to do with not needing to reload package installer before installing games
Playing Jersey devil right now

^^^^ but then says "should work on 3.xx and 4.xx, no idea about 8.20 and below"....
Shame as I was hoping for more news on higher firmwares and further info on progress with additional security gates on ps5. Fingers crossed.

 

[ccfman2004]

There are a lot of extra security measures in place in both the PS5's hardware and software compared to the PS4. Even what we have on 3.x and 4.x still isn't as good as what we have on the PS4.

Even something as simple as decrypting a PS4 or PS5 eboot.bin on a PS5 is a royal pain in the butt, if it works at all. I still haven't been able to get a successful PS4 eboot.bin decrypt on my PS5 yet. Every one I've tried to decrypt is missing lib calls in it.

i remember when he first talked about this a few months ago here, glad to see something come of it

The main thing I was working on was something akin to coldboot exploit activation. It removes the "need" for the DNS/exploit host, persists over reboots, blocks updates, ete. You just have to run the install payload once... but it requires the entrypoint for the exploit stack to be within WebKit... so the new 11.00 one can't use it, so I'll shelve it for now. Works great on 5.05 though...

 

[Aftershock]

Absolutely the best news from PS5 users is that "It prevents updates, on boot" I know we have DNS settings for that but they are not always reliable, where as you could 100% block updates on the PS4 by droping a fake update file in the update folder.

My issue on the PS4 is that even though I have auto updates completely turned off the system still insists on auto downloading game updates.

It is nice to see more progress on the PS5. I'll be happy when they figure out a way to 100% decrypt PS4 exe files on the PS5 as the current method doesn't work and I don't have access to the same tools other hackers do that allows them to decrypt those files without needing a console.

Theres a elf to run on the host sites that completely disables update on the ps4 mate. Run that and theres no chance of an accidental update. The update download will fail :-)

I'm talking about game updates, not system updates. Also sometimes when the systems crashes the system update block stops working.

I've never experienced that tbh. I use custom DNS settings for a "belt and braces approach"

After conducting tests on my 4.50 & 4.03 PS5, I identified an issue impacting etaHEN users on 4.5x. Certain games, including RDR2, may cause the console to freeze or crash when the elfldr and/or cheats plugin is running. To prevent these issues, I recommend that users on 4.5x…

once again 4.03 proves to be the golden fw for ps5 like 5.05 was for ps4

Still waiting for the PS5 Pro to come out. If only I've pre-ordered PS5 back when it came out, it would be fun fiddling with it as there's something new every few days.
