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!

Wondering if it's just a reuse of PS2 theme of the PS4.

if it's possible to ftp to the console, you could probably find out. I think ps4 sounds are either in at3 or at9 format, forgot which, but you can change the sounds on the ps4, I'm pretty sure. did they do this for the 20th anniversary on the ps4?

Afaik no but there is a ps2 theme for the PS4 that looks a lot like the one used on 30th.

I don't remember exactly what a theme looks like on the ps4, but I think it's a collection of xml's and other files. I know the wave, unlike the ps3 wave, is two files this time around or something like that. I haven't messed with the ps4 in years, so I'm basing this on memory.

The way Sony shows the PS5's system software version is very confusing for most people.

Pretty cool, but I think it’s only for a limited time

tomorrow the same but on sale. Enjoy the new Sony, that is mostly like M$ and xbox.

Nines (9S) - POC​

This project is the result of an experiment in code injection techniques on the PlayStation 5. Since it's not possible to allocate executable memory using calls like mmap, and other techniques, such as abusing the JIT memory area to write shellcode, are not available to every process, alternative methods are explored.

Idea​

The concept is simple. By using Kernel R/W primitives in the kernel .data section, one can elevate process-specific privileges, such as the AuthorityID, which allows debugging of other processes via ptrace.

With this power, it is possible to invoke remote functions to load a library into the process, which provides a suitable space for executable memory.

Once the library is loaded, it’s possible to remove all existing data and either write shellcode or load an ELF file into the allocated memory. This technique is similar to the Windows Process Hollowing method.

To trigger the shellcode, we remotely resolve and call the pthread_create function to initialize the shellcode.

 

[Jayinem]

yeah, but it's still the fault of the "clicker." I never take anything at face value. I always look at multiple resources, so does that make me smarter or at least wiser? maybe so.

I am putting my fingers in my ears and going "la la la' i know that I can hack my PS6 today.

Finally, an alternative way to bypass mmap for firmware 5.x to 7.61.
I hope that on next year some genius made a full implementation of it for fw 5.x.

 

[Wolf85]

So I was messing around with my og ps5 with 2.00 firmware. I inserted my ffxvi disc and got the update message. I then activated the Byepervisor exploit from idlesauce and inserted the disc and it started copying like a download. I canceled it because I was worried it might update the system software in the process.

No going to get my hopes up. This could end up being another nothing burger.

Anything new here?
https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5_Jailbreak/comments/1h70lv8/ps5_keys_have_been_found/

Nothing new.
fail0verflow, Plutoo and flatz are known to have access to these keys, because they all exploited the PSP.
I suspect that thefl0w also has them, because he can tell if certain mitigations are still (not) present in the latest FWs.

For the average joe, these keys mean nothing, as they don't necessarily grant new exploits.
They do however enable devs to diff the binaries and see what changes Sony made under the hood and identify potential exploits on previous FWs.
This is how the 9.00 exFAT exploit on the PS4 happened if I'm not mistaken.

Apart from that, only pirates are probably interested in those keys, as they would allow to decrypt the latest titles on a PC.
That's how we got all the backports for the PS4.

It is not just for piracy, some people would like to install their games from disc and not need the disc anymore unless to reinstall...

 

[AlphaBravo]

$ony could have met us halfway with the consoles asking disc to be inserted every 7 days or so. Either that or a drive with three disc slots
