Hacking quick question about homebrew on ps4

[Bernhard]

I ve seen the release of that one exploit by failoverflow...
and everyone was hyped about homebrew...
is there anything? or has it all been nonsense... no one uses the "exploit" ?
man i am so confused about this stuff.... i can t tell how much this confuses...

any one can bring light in the dark corners of unanswered questions?

An exploit has been released but nothing using it yet

Still better than those 65525 people said they got kernel exploit but never released.

There are in fact both userland and kernel exploits for PS4 up to 5.00 as people claimed, juuuuuust they might never release any of them.

Team fail0verflow released detailed information on how to implement it two weeks ago, but there's no actual release, by anyone. Nothing.

Let alone some actual homebrew...

It's a noob question but could you explaine what does userland and play ground in terms of hack mean?

its so sad... tbh no one want s to release homebrew public... i d do it my self but i am not really into programming

yeah sure... but in the end it s the same as nothing for the enduser.^^ isnt it?

would be interesting ... i ve no clear answer to that ... but userland is i guess if there s a new source ...a new exploitable one and playground is that whats already found of exploits but usefull only for programmers ^^
i am not sure if its right but pls feel free to correct me^^!

Hi,

I am on 4.07 Any reason to hold on to it.

User land means the exploit only allows to execute up to some amount of code in the user memory space. For security, the memory is allocated in isolated regions classified by permissions. The user cannot read or write any memory outside of the user memory space. Comunication with other "rings" is done by calls where the inner (more secure) code modifies the outter (less secure) memory with the minimum amount of sensible data to avoid disclosures.

A playgroud is a way to open up the user space memory and functions through the exploit to allow anyone to play with the user land capabilities (with hope to find a next ring exploit or direct kernel exploits).
In case of the ps4, this is a local webpage.

Yeah. There's a webkit exploit (userland) that was ported to 4.0x, including 4.07, but the kernel exploit ("namedobj", aka "Adieu") only works on 4.05 and below. There's also braggings (for lack of a better term) of 4.55/5.00 kernel-level access, but that won't be released anytime soon, if at all.

You need a way to the safe then can break the safe. Userland exploits (such as browser, applications or anything non-kernel level) served as entry points to be able to execute your own malicious code, you can then later use the kernel exploit (method to break into the safe) to owned the system.

Only userland exploit available means you can do things that was not allowed in the bank, such as bring power tools near the safe, but have no idea how to break the safe with what you got. Only kernel exploit available means you know exactly how to break the safe and the right tool to be used, just that you can't go near the safe to execute it.

So in other words wait and see for 4.07.
