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!

I know its very early but any chance we will see a self host option? I dont want my ps5 to ever see the internet

Yes. Same as ps4, cache the site. Send payload.

 

[KiiWii]

Makes me wanna update my firmware 2.X PS5 since there's so much drought of anything on that firmware version. lol

Hold fire if you can. 4.03 is good for ps4 backups, 2.xx might be good for ps5 back ups.

 

[badboytm25]

please make someone slairsgorvy ps5 fpkg payload for esp8266 thank you

 

[Jayinem]

Can this hack play any ps4 game regardless of firmware on ps5?

 

[KiiWii]

Can this hack play any ps4 game regardless of firmware on ps5?

No, it’s in parity with 9.00.

4.03 PS5 = 9.00 PS4

So 9.00 games + backports.

Update from sleirsgoevy:

Given the advanced level of knowledge required, I wonder how many people could take the baton and onboard that offset hunting journey for 4.50/4.51?
And if someone does, how long would that take..?

I hope we get some smart people on it soon.

Up to 4.51 would be ideal for the majority really.

Don't forget some devs haven’t even shown their hand yet, there is more behind the scenes than has been made public.

Do you happen to know if these games get usage of the extra power of the PS5 or do we need custom patches for them?

Extra patches for increased frame rates.

 

[linuxares]

Extra patches for increased frame rates.

It's honestly what I'm most excited for running PS4 games on it. Else I could just use my PS4

Hello everyone, have a couple of questions, I'm on 4.03 and want to install a Devil May Cry Special Edition update from prosperopatches, I have the game disc and the game installed. The process I should do (and please correct me if i'm wrong) is install specter exploit, then libhijacker to enable debug settings and then using the package installer I could install the game update. Now, about the update files downloaded from prosperopatches, they are split into 4gb parts, I have to join the files somehow or you just install them like that?
And a second and more important question, using specter exploit and libhijacker does leave a trace of use on the console? By this I mean if I use this exploits and later for any reason decide I want to connect my console without the dns to block connections to sony servers, or decide to update my console firmware, use the psn store and buy a game or play online, could the console get banned?

Thanks in advance

Well, it certainly isn't getting easier to wait as time passes. I'll hold on a little longer.

Seems like he release a new payload that doesn't require Netcat. "Kstuff" it's called.

I think if I remember right you can use windows command to merge the pkgs:
“copy /b *.pkg newfile.pkg”
Or use a file merging tool.

Yes it will leave traces, but you can always format using recovery update to scrub the drive.

It’s been the same for PS3/PS4 now PS5, very few reports of actual bans due to hacked file traces, but it’s very possible Sony have upped the ante with PS5: we don’t know yet.

Work PS4 Games installed on External HDD on my PS4 9.00 and plug into my PS5 4.03?

Good question, I would imagine it will work as it’s a compatibility layer for PS4. Please test and report back
