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!

there is no official FW 6.2 ... There is 6.02 and 6.50 ... I have 6.50 and I am also waiting. maybe one day our time will come, I recommend not updating console

My mistake. Im on fw 6.02

 

[roice2000]

I wonder how much of it was pre-rendered and not real-time in game.

Personally, I'm disappointed because it's only scenes and no gameplay.

Time to Blow Up your mind. This was all gameplay with some real time cut scenes. No Joke . Of course with cineastic npc Placements.

Do you know if libhijacker will be updated soon (or not) with new exploit for 5.x? or new exploit is not compatible? (webkit and not a kernel exploit, do know the difference..sorry)

OFW 8.40 released: DONT UPDATE

 

[KiiWii]

Sony clearly spells out in the changelog that security update is included in 8.40.. this could be a clue to <=8.20 bugs being disclosed sooner rather than later.

Let the speculation begin!

 

[Adam512]

PS: I have no doubt that something will come in the future because one of my secret sources said that there is still a bug in the PS5 and no one has reported it yet

as I wrote last month, it could be a bug that was in 8.20, but it could also be another security bug that they fixed... my friend hasn't tested 8.40 yet, so I don't know any information

Sony clearly spells out in the changelog that security update is included in 8.40.. this could be a clue to <=8.20 bugs being disclosed sooner rather than later.

Let the speculation begin!

Anyway, it looks interesting, the build date is 2023_1128 ..

according to another public source something changed in 8.00 ... so we'll see in the future.



I think it's best to stay on the lowest possible FW and not update.

DNS host method seems blocked on 8.40.

You will have to host/block updates another way going forward.

So they hardcoded in address?

Seems like it, that would make the most sense, but I don’t know the specifics.

Sigh.. and I guess they use DNS-Over-HTTPS/DNS-Over-TLS as well.

Else you can block the IPs in a firewall. Maybe a Layer 7 firewall might work but I'm not sure.

EDIT: Well that won't be easy. Apparently they use both Amazon, some custom CDN and Google for CDNs...

Have opened today my Fifa 23 Bundle Cfi-1216A serial number F327..and have FW 5.10 installed

Post automatically merged: Dec 2, 2023

FIFA 23 Bundle Serial F327....

Damn lucky you, I was excited to find my cfi-1216A was on 6.02, if I got a 5.10...sploosh haha. I just gotta wait a while longer but still glad to know I got old stock as many places near me were oos for the old model before the new one released.

My serial is F331, so I guess it tracks because 6.02 is 4 versions higher than 5.10.
I didn't realise the beggining of the serial corresponds to the fw version, I'm probably late to the show on that one though.

I get the feeling I am going to need to upgrade my PS5 if games are becoming playable. Sitting on 3.20 and waiting feels bad.

Are there currently any backports or do games only work if they were made for FW 4.5 or below etc?

this is exactly the moment when a person thinks if it makes sense to buy launch PS5 / launch PS6.. There are people with 1.xx / 2.xx who are still waiting. Try to hold on so you don't regret it in the future.. You can update above at any time, updating below is not so easy.

i updated to 4.03 from 3.20 and things are much better, anyways I'm using BDJPlus by euroali, is there a way to load ETAHen.bin or ps5debug.bin from the same menu or a host that detects that you're already jailbroken so i can just load the bin files directly after ?

I honestly don't understand how to set up the BDJPlus. I understand you need to find a BD-J disc but how to set up the server portion. FInds no guide or something at all.
