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!

Hi guys!
Do anyone have the same problem as myself?

Etahen crashes nearly everytime when i close a game.

It would be good to know if it creates a crashreport somewhere, and then send it to LightningMods on github in the issues.

What FW is installed on Disc Edition God of War Ragnaröck Bundle?

It seems like the 3.xx - 4.xx UAF IPv6 kernel exploit seems to also work on 5.xx

This video popped up earlier today on my YouTube feed:



Uh, wtf. That glossy shit looks like an expensive kid's toy.

Jeez, I care about how consoles look so if I want a PS5 I'll really have to track down an original PS5 because that would annoy me to look at. lol

Saw the same video. It just looks like the OG PS5 inside, can't really see any difference and I want someone with better know how like Thec0d3r to get a hands on one and check it out.

 

[genf]

Where exactly did you press the button combo? Does that display a pop-up? I tried with EtaHEN 1.1b (without cheats) then Bloodborne 1.09 and CTR 1.21 but there’s nothing auto loading and button combos don’t seem to have any effect.

Thanks! Oh it's on in bloodborne now!

Has it been confirmed on a video that the PS5 "Slim" requires an internet connection login to use the console itself?

If Sony really did that, console gaming is getting even worse. I personally stepped out of modern gaming a while ago and just play a few games here and there, but still this is unacceptable.

Yeah unfortunately none of the button combos work. I can't actually find someone who can tell me where the cheats are even located lol. So I ended up back on my PS4 again playing with the cheats and crashing once again cause I ain't got a PS4 Pro LOL (better stability then standard PS4).

I did the button combos Kiiwii shared and still no cheat menu/option pops up. So I just gave up. The cheat support for etaHEN I can't find documented and I am unsure how to manually add json or other cheat files in the right folders via FTP without instructions.

I saw a photo on the internet where there were two notifications in the PS5, something like that the disc drive was activated and the console needs to be restarted(that it will take effect after a reboot) , and below that there was another notification with something about an update, probably update downloaded (FW)

I didn't even think about them forcing and nagging updates with a constant need to be connected online lol.

 

[KiiWii]

Quick update to the 5.xx info:

Seems IPV6 is patched on 5.02 so a UAF on 5.00/5.01 could be handy for bringing kernel that couple of steps higher than 4.51.

Update on Kernel Strings:

Though 7.20/7.61 have been published on the wiki it doesn’t require a kernel exploit in order to dump those, they can be obtained via BDJB for example in userland.

 

[genf]

Aren’t fps patches supposed to work with "EtaHEN without cheats" though? Does anyone know how to toggle them on in that case scenario?..

Yeah unfortunately none of the button combos work. I can't actually find someone who can tell me where the cheats are even located lol. So I ended up back on my PS4 again playing with the cheats and crashing once again cause I ain't got a PS4 Pro LOL (better stability then standard PS4).

[schatzi24]

Yes i have found a Horizon Forbidden West Bundle serial F22201...hope on FW 4.50

 

[Adam512]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it turns out according to your wishes.

I'll keep my new PS5 on a higher FW and wait for the right moment

 

[solitaire4eva]

Yeah the fps Patches supposed to work without the cheats. Double check his site to see if there is a specific button you have to press. Like in bloodborne you would hit the x button while it is starting.

New in my fork of libhijacker 1.132:
- Payload can now be used without python, it can be used in hosts without need for computer.
- FTP is unavailable for now, will try to bring it back later.
- Added Doom 2016 (1.12) 120FPS Patchhttps://t.co/IPwzFInBvX pic.twitter.com/trD235xpBS
