Yifan Lu Announces HENKaku - A New Native Vita Homebrew Enabler for 3.60.



Earlier today, Yifan Lu, a well-known member of the Vita hacking scene famous for the Rejuvenate hack for the Dev Assistants, has announced that a new (native!) Vita homebrew enabler for the latest firmware version, as of writing (3.60), will be arriving tomorrow at "9:00AM UTC".

The new hack, known as "HENKaku", will require the following:
  • A Vita/PSTV running 3.60
  • A memcard with at least 10MB of free space (internal memory is currently not supported!)
  • An FTP client
  • An internet connection**
**Offline support is now available! Launch the exploit straight from the email app without the need for internet access at all! See the unofficial release thread for more details. (Internet connection still required for installation)


This is a small paragraph of Yifan Lu himself explaining what the properties of this new homebrew enabler does:

HENkaku simply lets you install homebrew as bubbles in LiveArea. It is a native hack that disables the filesystem sandbox. It installs molecularShell, a fork of VitaShell that lets you access the memory card over FTP and install homebrew packages (which we create as VPK files). With vita-toolchain, developers have access to the same system features licensed developers have access to as well as undocumented features that licensed developers cannot use (including overclocking the processors).


The hack has been released at http://henkaku.me ~ Furthermore, the hack is said to be exclusive to 3.60, and there is to be no backports for the time being.

I'm really keen to grab the site and make a mirror just in case. Does anyone know how I could bypass the 403 (forbidden) message, so I can make a mirror of the javascripts? I can only seem to grab the actual forbidden message page and the exploit payload (the one named "x") at the moment...

Website copiers don't seem to help either.

There's php stuff so I don't think it would work. Arguments are passed to that "x" payload file.
Why a microsoft server, lol. Better than nothing.

Was that the person who created the android self hosting apk? If so then that would be useful for people :)

I'd use it instead of messing around with a computer all the time
It was made to work with any compatible server. I used it on my windows server, but other used it with other server apps in android yeah

I finally managed to make a mirror of the exploit page if anyone wants to use it in place of go.henkaku.me:
http://voxel-studios.rf.gd/henkaku-sploit

I didn't bother mirroring the actual instructions/showcase/etc because I didn't think they were that important... people can go read Wololo articles for instructions. :)
There are difference with henkaku.me?
