(Update: for the people angry at the “no release plan” part, Total_Noob wants to emphasize that he wasn’t planning on making any of this information public, he just casually replied to the interviewer at dashhacks) Scene website dashhacks revealed a few days ago that Total_Noob has a (psp) kernel exploit that works on firmware 2.05.
Total_Noob never ceases to amaze, and he just explained that he has access to a (psp) Kernel exploit that works on the Vita firmware 2.05. As he described to dashhacks writer HolmesInFive, his upcoming TN-V (with XMB support) will work on 2.05 through a new kernel exploit, but he has no plan to release that exploit.
TN-V will be publicly released for firmwares up to 2.02, but no kernel exploit is publicly available for firmware 2.05 so far. People running on firmware 2.05 have currently no publicly known way to run (psp) homebrews, either through user or kernel mode. This includes obviously Total_Noob’s Custom firmware “CEF“.
PSP Kernel exploits have always been rare, and it makes sense that TN keeps this new one for his own investigation, assuming this is the only one he currently has access to. Who knows, maybe this will end up being released eventually.

Thanks for the great news ^^
-
If he’s not going fo release it why announce it?
-
He can announce anything he wants to, he doesn’t really need a reason to do so.
-
its stupidity.
-
-
because it is news? he is using it for further development and something else may be released because of this important step of acquiring a kernel exploit.
-
Because:
IF people know that there is an exploit,
THEN people will look for that exploit until they find it.It’s simple logic.
-
People are looking whether or not he is saying stuff, the reason is ’cause kernel exploits are rare’ and hard to find.
If he uses this exploit, hes on the next update restricted again to non-psp-kernel access.
It’s simple logic.
-
Yeah but than again, if you don’t wan’t it to be patched why even announcing it? Better to keep your trap shut and use it for your development till you find a way that sony can’t definitely patch it anymore. Like finding keys and signing your piece of software.
After that announcement just now, sony is surely looking into this, they might find it and iron it out.
Imo such announcement’s are contra productive. They are only as stated by Keyblade Spirit to motivate other devs.
Nothing more.-
really? like sony will pay their employees to look through every game until they find a vulnerability? if it was that simple to find then there wouldnt exist any now…….noob
-
Sony is most likely fu*king Thrawn’s mom. He’s so paranoid that Sony is everywhere. Better tell your mom to close her legs tight with her back against the wall. Sony might visit your mom again tonight.
-
-
-
-
because he is a total noob literally
-
yes, he’s TN. And he has the exploit your wetting your pants for.
-
and you are total idiot

Good News
-
another psp exploit … 0 vita exploit counting
-
Ah my many apologies then
sorry about that guys! -
0 public available exploits. (atleast 1 is beeing talked about)
What did change is sony protected there stuff better, last time they left the door wide open, and most knowledge was out there about how everything worked.
Free/hobby hackers are slowly pushed back, but payed hackers will break this in a second.
-
I do believe there are at least 2 vita exploits in the hands of developers, and they are kept secret because nobody can make anything useful yet.
a homebrew or rom loader is kinda pointless if nobody can write homebrew or dump roms yet.
-
-
This is excellent news.
Especially the “no plan to release.”
That way it’s there for the future, just in case.
-
I’d prefer a new kernel exploit be held onto until later firmware updates.
-
I bet he would only release it if the next Vita firmwares have something coming that is worthwhile. Though it’s good to keep it around anyway so that we know there is a backup around.
-
Exactly. This guy knows what’s up.
Comes out now, it’s wasted.
-
-
It will be nice to check out the new PSP Kernel exploit for 2.05 firmware!
-
Good. Don’t release it until the time is right. That way it will benefit us more in the long run.
-
You sound so certain that he’s going to be doing it for “us”. He doesn’t have to release anything for “us”. He could simply keep this for himself (private exploit).
-
And if he keeps it private, then we lost nothing/gained nothing. It’s his work and effort. He decides what to do with it.
It’s not our decision. Be grateful someone of his caliber is on the Vita scene.
-
-
-
Maybe he won’t release it because of the new firmware supposed to be released…
-
i realy hope he wont release it i almost shit my pants when the other 2 where released i tought they used the same exploit i have found myself (and no whiners i wont release it either)
-
WHY even tell us they have a exploit if they arn’t going to release it? Its the same as a fake as the public will never see it so its fake.
-
because TN is actually credible unlike those morons posting fake youtube videos with survey links?
that’s why.
-
Grow a brain cell. It’s TN for goodness sake…
-
Some people visit out of genuine interest in what the scene is achieving, not what they can get out of it. Those achievements and what they stand for, are the main purpose of the site, I think. (Not just what people can get their grubby mitts on.)
-
-
The amount of money people have spent on the game with the exploit, might as well just buy a psp and hack that and be done with it.
-
So all you want a PSP for is to pirate games? Fu*k that ‘back up games’ bullsh*t. You and I both know that you don’t own 90% of the .isos on that system.
pirate city, b*tch, pirate pirate city, b*tch

I honestly wish that this wasn’t brought up due to the simple fact of all the flamers out there.now that it has been acknowledged there are going to be the ungrateful handful that will be demanding released that they have not contriduted.
-
I don’t understand people that freak out with news about something without a release date. Can’t you control yourself kids?
Thanks TN for you dedication to the scene.
I would not release such exploit before the release of the new PSV Slim, which is expected to have a whole new firmware, and an update may be more than necessary for everyone.
VHBL at the moment on 2.05 and a card on the sleeve seems to be a more reasonable thing to do.
-
Just give us one BIG shoot, that sony never patch!!!
-
Why don’t you “give us one BIG shoot” (whatever that means) as you are so demanding?!
-
I agree. That was scummy I think.
-
-
I gave your mother ‘a big shoot’ last night on her face.
-
-
tired to wait that exploit game my be hackers side of sony now if you read about news about psvita before release sony recruting hackers to work with sony maybe all hackers pawn now for money can buy every thing sorry for my bad english.
-
TN is fucking awesome!!
^__^
-
he should release it after a BIG update happens to the vita
-
and sony patches anything again and buy that game to be exploit psycologic sony.
-
if you notice they show video of of exploite and then they ask to donate 1 or 2 dollars before annouce the game fucking trick.
-
mybe you dont ask you.
-
I have a question. for ps2 games ps vita use an emulator like psp? expliot could be found in the ps2 emulator? sorry if I’m asking really bad and sorry for my English
-
Theres no PS2 emulator on the vita… yet.
-
yes their is psn accounts in japan have access to ps2 games
-
Yes,on the ps3,there is LOL.
-
-
-
-
l
apologized. -
he fools all of us…dont trust this news.
-
In this scene has to get people that has hacked Android and Apple systems, you can no longer do as they did before.
-
This is a wise man. PSP devs are in for a totally different ride on the PSVita, when you get there you’ll look back and think “holy shit this psp stuff is ridiculously simple”.
Kernel exploit on a PSP? Piece of cake! Exploiting systems through their various protections (XN, ASLR) and inherent protections of process isolation will spice the game up a bit.
-
-
Honestly people need to quit begging for them to release their “Work” Or “Hack”, They don’t need to release Sh*t… And Sony if you’re reading this… Lay the hell off the hackers… They’re just doing what you failed to do in the first place… Well that’s my 2 Cents. Oh Btw Wololo… <3 YA!
-
Respect TN! Thanks for the news wololo!
-
Why people are bragging over this? if TN doesnt want to release it, then fine for me. He would have more easy time to do more work with it.
You greedy people calm down, its just a kernel exploit, it’s not a freaking CFW he’s not releasing.
-
they need to put the exploit in a demo game like
unit 13 demo or smthn -
“dashhacks revealed a few days ago that Total_Noob has a (psp) kernel exploit”
-
Gamers who are on 2.02 need 2.05 to access PSN
Gamers who are on 2.05 without an exploit too need itSo Everybody Want EXPLOITS.
Please make sure they are available for every region this time to make everyone happy with FREEDOM GAMING.

I can’t let you have ‘freedom gaming’, you jerk.

Gamers who are on 2.02 can access PSN with PS3.
And there is way to move the games from PS3 to vita 2.02. -
on 1.81 probly get anouther vita soon.. good thing got uno dough… well ill probly have tree vita before the new model.. so good on that…nice 2.o5 got hack well semi soft moded ….
-
wololo i want to contribute for the ps vita scene
tell me how can i make a kernel exploit
so that it is possible for people to enjoy free psp/psx
on ps vita -
ok. he is not planning to reslt the exploit
why.im waiting for hack this assdevice so
make us happy or dont tell us there is no exploit-
I made your mom happy last night.
-
-
i’m still in 2.02 hopefully
but i keep waiting for the release eventually in future for the 2.05 or maybe later fw exploit
assuming that this is going to be keeped as secret.. obviously who didn’t had the chance to get the game exploited (in 2.02) right on time before the 2.05 fw launch surely it’s not interested in this kind of hack at all, and so i really don’t see why TN should release such important work if not in case of a greater fw upgrade by sony -
Good for TN, if he does have underlying reasons to release it later, I can understand why he’d not now. 2.05 gives nothing special, and since they’re so rare, it seems like it’d be a waste. Another likely possibility is him using it to test what else can be done with a Ksploit (not that he couldn’t use 2.02, but since it’s a different firmeware, different game, one is likely curious if sony patched more than just one entry point..) Or maybe he just wants one to himself, which i don’t blame him, I’ve no doubts in my mind that someone out there has the vita fully open but just doesn’t want to tell anyone for personal reasons. Either way, whatever your reasons are TN, Congrats and good job. Thanks for all you’ve done.
-
Yea, I think it’s the best choice to just wait for now with releasing something well at least until somebody else has another kexploit.
And there are a lot of games coming out soon which will make you update your FW to play online with friends anyways.
While talking about online play…is anybody here going to buy the Japanese version of Soul Sacrifice?I wish I could read japanese there’d be so many more games that I’d buy…*sigh*
-
English version of Soul Sacrifice is being released soon. Everyone will update once that happens. lol
-
No i wouldn’t
-

-
English version of Soul Sacrifice is being released soon. Everyone will update once that happens. lol
-
Yeah i am ok with wololo point of view about s**kers who ask to release exploit etc do it yourself befor talk bad about persons who rip their ass skin for you
and Thank you Wololo TN and every other dev who make our world more funny
and TN take your time to investigate vita
i dont care if you release your exploit take your time on it and discover new things have some fun and enjoy unlock this device
the best goal we have is more important when we have pleasure to do it =)
-
no freakin reason to tell us this post if the selfish b!tch dont have the plan to release it
-
I wish people like you wouldn’t exist.
Your own words are befitting your personality the best. -
HAHAHAH YOU JELLY?
YOU JELLY OF HIS EXPLOIT?
-
-
anyway, it’s a good news for 2.05 users.
-
When is the next official firmware update scheduled to happen? Are they released on a monthly basis or something? If that’s the case, this exploit may be shared here sooner than most expect (hopefully)!
Oh, and thanks to Total_Noob for his brilliance. You’re phenomenal! ^_^
-
When is breaking certain to 2.05??
-
When is hacking to 2.05?
-
we need a vita exploit, vita game backups, new emulators: dreamcast, ps2, etc… if i wanna play psp games, i’d use my psp. so WHY NOT A PS VITA EXPLOIT? !
-
Is the 2.05 exploit on uno? ’cause I still have the UNO game, but my crazy brother updated mine to 5305 when I was on 2.02
-
Sorry, 2.05. (Using PS VITA touch keyboard)
-
-
Im planning on updating psp games are boring

Apparently we're on twitter too
