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

Note: There are several USERLAND exploits, a couple of KERNEL exploits, and there is now a public HYPERVISOR exploits available for 1.xx-2.70 to complete the full exploit chain (23/10/24).

Recently Flatz confirmed he has developed his own HV exploit (1.xx-4.51 which is 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.


Oct 8th 2024: BD-JB + Kernel works on 7.61 thanks to user Hammer.

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 on that firmware.

3: PS5 FPKGs cannot work as a hack for the a53 processor does not publicly exist to enable PS5 content as FPKG/PKG.

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!

Fundamental problem is even if new exploit is discovered in 9.xx and it's only BD-JB, is it possible to trick the external disc drive into connecting to the console without internet connection?

Unfortunately no.
But since BD-JB is fixed since 8.00 anyway, I wouldn't stress too much about it.
Seeing how things are currently going, I would be more worried about another HV and/or kernel exploit, rather than an entry exploit.

Leaked Booklet from Pro: GPU 16.7 TFLOPS with 18GB memory (16gb for games 2gb for OS?)

Earlier today I added 2TB SSD to my PS5, so all done making improvements to it. Bought the black face plates and now the SSD.

It's on 7.00 so will just wait until it's hackable. I'm not going to bother buy a PS5 with a very low firmware, I like this one as it is.

For the very low ones...

 

[zebrone]

True, webkit will do up to 5.XX

I was thinking forward, incase I update to 7.61.

Is it sure that there will not be any webkit exploit in the future for 7.61
( i'm on 6.0.2)?

Not yet, clobber world was looked at for 6.xx-7.xx and was no good.

I’m sure something will come along.

 

[arfgh]

I begin to feel that the ps5 is totally out of our possibilities....

 

[madbrainx]

The PSDev wiki updated with these new WebKit vulnerabilities

https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps5/Vulnerabilities

Recent WebKit vulnerabilities were made public over the past few months that could potentially impact the PS5. While it’s uncertain whether these vulnerabilities can be exploited to create a WebKit exploit, it’s likely that someone will eventually discover one that can. The timing, however, is still unclear.

Is there any way to get around, updating to latest firmware, when installing a new M2 SSD

You don't need to update your FW to add a SSD, but it requires a certain FW to work.
4.00 added the ability to install SSDs.
8.00 added the ability to install SSDs up to 8TB.

Thats nice. Will a 2tb be compatible with 4.51

Yes it will be compatible. Same setup here ;-)

Thats super good. Buying one tomorrow

Brings memories from 2019 when i jailbroke my PS3, with a e3 flasher
Had to strip the console down to the motherboard

 

[AlphaBravo]

Frankly I'm grateful for the early leaks. The launch around the ps5 pro could use a little more excitement. Might be a good time for Nintendo to finally announce Switch 2 before 7th Nov

 

[Randqalan]

Gone

 

[iguanoPT]

Bottom heatsink held by thermal pad (or is it putty? ) is a big no no 4 me

The top heatsink is cool though and the CMOS battery is where it should be

 

[Wolf85]

Why would you use an e3 since there is a software way for some time now to do cfw.

Cfw was only for ps3 systems below a certain firmware. I think 3.55 was the highest firmware that allowed for custom firmware installation due to Sony using "static" signature keys. Later firmwares require a vulnerability to exploit like the ps4 and ps5 require. Unless we can acquire Sony signature keys, custom firmware will never come again.
