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!

IDU mode again.

Magic USB stick I guess.

 

[White_Raven_X]

The issues I have with that video are the following:

He could have a low fw and is spoofing higher for optics.

He could also have been connected to a local server and not psn.

Pkg installer does work on lower fw and so this doesn't prove anything.

I have to admit, I am skeptical. BUT (i like big buts) if this is legit then this is definitely a good step forward... so now where is the public jailbreak?!?!

I believe it’s legit.

IDU/OMSK will allow PKG/licence installation, editing the DB will allow a shortcut to the installer, and it works on any firmware.

But it’s risky in that you might accidentally update, he obviously wants to use this on latest OFW, which is fine, but there is no HEN, so obviously FPKG won’t work.

Only demos and official PKGs you have a licence dumped for will work.

Update, licences CAN be installed but on PS5 (at least) they need to be verified online in order to start the game.

Lua Loader fork by Shahrilnet. Contains new payload:

Sigsegv_crash_trigger.lua - Triggers a SIGSEGV crash that should be signal handled without crashing the game process.

Currently this loader is specific for the following list of games:

1. Raspberry Cube (CUSA16074)
2. Aibeya (CUSA17068)
3. Hamidashi Creative (CUSA27389)
4. Hamidashi Creative Demo (CUSA27390) - Requires latest firmware to download from PSN
5. Aikagi Kimi to Issho ni Pack (CUSA16229)

I forgot to mention that free demos do not need license checking online. Hence why Lua game demos installed by magic USB in TeRex777 videos work

I want to know if the Lua entrypoint is even valid for userland. I’ve heard no confirmation.

Wouldn't that mean, that everyone could somehow install the demo without connecting an older PS5 to PSN?
Maybe using a up to date PS4, download it and copy it to a PS5 so the PS5 can somehow see/play the demo?
This way, alot of people with a second console could at least a game/demo which supports the LUA exploit.

Or is this some kind of an chicken egg situation?
We need a LUA game to be able to use the installer for the demo.

You can use IDU mode to install the demo, so yes; this could be a good entry point, especially for digital console users who are on 6.xx-7.xx.

So I found out that if you put your ps5 in rest mode and then change the input source as you are waking it from rest mode it will put it directly back into rest mode. Maybe that's how they figured out the Byepervisor exploit, however this is my slim with 10.20 firmware, haven't update to 10.40 yet.

That sounds like a HDMI-CEC thing too.

Powering on my tv, if the source is still set to the PS5 hdmi, powers the PS5 Pro on; and I can’t stop it happening… driving me mad, is there a setting on the PS5 to stop that?

I can’t turn off CEC because my soundbar is connected through HDMI too, it’s weird.
