TheFloW releases new PPPwn kernel exploit for PS4, works on firmware 11.00

dsakjldas.png

TheFlow has done it again--a new kernel exploit has been released for PlayStation 4 consoles. This latest exploit is called PPPwn, and works on PlayStation 4 systems up to official firmware 11.00, with support for 9.00 as well. The exploit was known about for months, and was eventually patched by Sony in a PS4 firmware update for 11.02, after TheFlow reported the vulnerability on HackerOne.

PPPwn is a kernel remote code execution exploit for PlayStation 4 upto FW 11.00. This is a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2006-4304 that was reported responsibly to PlayStation.

Supported versions are:

  • FW 9.00
  • FW 11.00
  • more can be added (PRs are welcome)
The exploit only prints PPPwned on your PS4 as a proof-of-concept. In order to launch Mira or similar homebrew enablers, the stage2.bin payload needs to be adapted.

Not unless you only want to play last gen games. You can get a fairly decent PC for about $700 now. Yes, that's more than a used PS4 Pro. It also does more. Even if you don't pirate games (Just grab repacks for that) they tend to be cheaper on PC anyway. Plus no online subscription.

if
A. You can get one cheap
B. You understand there is no online, or DLC ( that is not Separately DLed)
Most of the heavy hitters are on pc, and Online is out of the question.

You intend on playing just exclusives both AAA and indies/JRPGs etc. and/or multiplats too?
If it's only a few selection games and/ or just exclusives, don't see the issue of getting one just for that with a decent price, and one that's in a good condition

My PS4 pro is always up to date since I watch YouTube on it.

Besides that, it's a more powerful console, so RetroArch up to N64 core, maybe DS? Would do it.
H0w hard would it be to port PSP homebrew to PS4? That'd be amazing!

Despite being faster than the base PS4 they're still mediocre Jaguar+ cores. They're literally (old) tablet CPU cores. You can emulate some stuff but keep your expectations low.

All of the games already came out that I want on PS4 I think lol. Due to backports I already got them. Having said that if you don't have to use the usb stick anymore that's a plus.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
