Vita native hack: vitasploit released by Hykem
Native vita hack news keep coming for those of you who managed to keep their Vita in firmware 3.18 or under.
Yesterday, developer Hykem released his own set of tools to leverage the Webkit exploit on the PS Vita . (If you don’t know who Hykem is, just know that he’s been on the scene for quite some time now, and has experience on lots of Sony’s stuff). Download links at the bottom of the article
Vitasploit is an attempt at merging all the ongoing efforts (memtools_vita, JSoS Module Dumper, akai,…) and improving on them. Hykem says some of the code has been cleaned up, and made more generic (“The scripts can be used for both memory reading/writing and ROP code execution by changing a single variable.”).
Additionally, he plans to port the scripts to as many firmwares as possible (3.30+ owners, remember, we’re talking of an exploit that works up to 3.18 here. When you read “as many firmwares as possible”, it means anything at 3.18 or below!), with the ultimate goal of reverse engineering various versions of the modules, to understand what has changed, and maybe find even more vulnerabilities, or understand how the NID poisoning was implemented (that was apparently added in firmware 2.xx)
Hykem also released a full list of the modules that can be dumped through the exploit, with BBalling1/nas’s work:

Hykem invites everyone to contribute to the code. To all of you who have always wondered “how can I help the console hacking effort”, now’s the right time to dig into the code: as everyone makes baby steps and everything is new, this is the best time to learn the basics and contribute!

i wish there was youtube video to see how to do that
Hope the Vita will have some good news…this Christmas. 🙂
Me gustaría poder contribuir en el aspecto gráfico ya sea cambiando la interfaz del psvita creo todavía no hay herramientas pero tal vez un creador de launcher.
2nd!
Btw, heading was a bit impressive, native hack, lol
btw can this lead to psv backups……gud thing I kept my vita at 3.18
They aren’t ones for piracy here if that’s all you care for find somewhere else… Be happy of they get home brew running on this…
on my indian theme here; Road paved with same quary. The walk make the diffrence. Take from comb but leave enough to not get stung. (IE : someone else will use what is learned to take the side step and hold blame)… Bed…. sleep good me will.
He didn’t mention piracy. Although allowing backups as an exploit can unintentionally cause some people to pirate, many people just like having backups of their physical games, so they do not have to swap cartridges, or bring a pile of games with them wherever they go. I remember the wii had a backup app that only lets you play the game if the same controller is connected as when the game was ripped.
you rude man, go read better thank you
You guys had a problem with that post? Nothing is rude about it unless your native american. The one below is where I was being a ***.
what’s with all the uptight fgts on the internet? pretty sure he didn’t say anything about piracy.
I will NOT apoligize, Ah Ha Ja!!!!! “Backing up” Sony games is considered piracy under that good ole sen agreement. You dont own the games yo buy. You are liscenced or subliscenced ther use.
Guys, stop being idiots. We don’t live in 2004 anymore, There was a reason to create backups of PSP games, they were on large inconvenient discs, and until 2008, there was no way to buy digital games. Even then, the library was rather small at first, and even now you have some games that were never released digitally.
Now we’re in 2014, The digital playstation store exists, and contains the (As far as I know) entire ps vita library, vita cartridges are tiny and not inconvenient to carry around, yet if anyone found them inconvenient they now have the choice of digital purchases for their games.
This ‘He only said backups!’ Excuse cannot be used in this day and age, there is very little reason to want backups, apart from piracy nowadays.
Agree.. Also, think about it… Why dont they allow people to get the digital for free when the card is purchased? Most people would sell their original and keep the digital.
the vita is a mobile platform. there is a lot of utility in a hack that allows people to take all of their games and get them onto a single cart so they don’t have to travel with a ton of small, easy to lose games (instead letting them keep them all on one overpriced memory card that never has to be swapped).
running game images != piracy.
I’m curious why you come to check for exploits? This is what the site is about and piracy would be inevitable and any emulators you run would still be piracy and isn’t likely you’d be dumping own roms unless you want the odd homebrew? But the potential of the Vita being exploitable is a bonus and I prefer homebrew too and don’t mind buying games but backups is also a bonus or likely run faster like PSP ISO but drop the liberal act… You’d be lying if never downloaded/streamed something even if movies and the problem is easy access but too much of something isn’t always a good thing and soon wears thin or personally not that into movies even with fast net. Many love that *** though and feel clever haha!
**** lol
Ok, its censored? Haha! The statistics of the Vita being used for piracy seems quite low though compared to PSP and maybe because taking longer? Judging amount of views even on YouTube of Vita exploits.
I’d like to finally run Goldeneye 007 smooth on a PSP and I tried that so many times with updated emulators with no avail… lol 2 analogs is also better if configured right and strife C set to left/up right/up but on a handheld like Vita would be cool.
Really? “Man who has to ask also has need to not ask.”… Or so an indian high on payote once told me.
Peyote*
Thankyou… I didnt thinm I had it right.
I’m assuming this is for coders who know what they are doing and not for those who like a simple install process? Bc I wouldn’t know left from right if I downloaded the code… should I dl it anyways?
any tutorial video please.
how to use this??? 🙂
*3.20 and below 😛
Интересно!Продолжайте!
очень интересно)у мя аж дух захватывает)
гбх привет)
im still on version 2.02 using the uno hack soo how those this help me i dont get it
Doesn’t help you right now until someone creates a homebrew or some other cool hack ready for the public.just don’t update past 3.18 if you ever want to enjoy it in your vita.
is there any way i can play back up vita games or get my psx games to hav sound on 2.02
Those are some really interesting modules.
Most of here just end users can’t figure out how to make this happen without any detail video tutorials ,but always same theme like this on the home page teasing people .
Well , if there was a way to
1. Play REAL LEGAL (MY OWNED) backups , it would be great. I won’t have to carry cartridges
2. Also having multiple PSN accounts on the same Vita – more like the PS3 interface. So I dont have to format my Vita or buy a second Vita (Example – I have Asian Killzone Mercenary and I purchased dlc for it but now I am on a US PSN so I can’t play the Asian DLC for Killzone Mercenary). So irritating Sony !
1. Download from PSN.
2. Digital download solves it all.
exactly as lmao said, we all know you want backups for piracy, don’t try and hide it. Now that the PS store exists, there’s hardly any reason or benefit to creating backups, since if the cartridges annoy you so much, just buy your games digitally.
I have to call half-***.
I have Star Ocean on my PSP, and I wanted to play it on my vita TV. However, they do not sell it in the JP psn store, so I had to hack my Vita TV and rip my Star Ocean UMD to play it on the Vita TV.
So there are people that sometimes don’t play backups for piracy. Although, we might be a small minority.
True that Sir. Victory and peace out to you . V ^-^
True for psp games. Vita games is the issue here.
Well Sir , I would have to disagree with you for a variety of reasons :-
1. I can’t resell my game later if I download digitally .
2. A native Vita hack may allow third party companies to create cheaper and bigger capacity memory cards. I don’t support Sony’s overly priced slow memory cards.
3. To download digitally, I need to update my Vita and hence lose the capacity to enable homebrew or CFW in the near future.
4. In my place of residence , I pay a hefty amount just for a 12 GB internet connection. Downloading digitally uses up my bandwidth so I prefer physical games.
5. Also buying used physical copies is also economical and smart , especially when the games are already overpriced in my country (India).
That’s why I am Pro-Native Hack ….
Hope you understand where I am coming from.
Thank You 🙂
@Shikhar
To me, 4. Is the only legitimate point you’ve made,
1. your choice
2. Sony cards aren’t necessarily slow, even if third party cards that were faster were created, I doubt the vita would actually be able to take advantage of the speedier cards, and even if it could speed differences would probably be neglectable.
3. your choice
4. This is a legitimate point, data caps are the main issue digital downloads have
5. again, this is your choice, not a legitimate argument for backups.
Though obviously you have the right to have your own opinion, and you don’t have to think the same as me, but please take this into consideration.
The majority of people who want ‘backups’ want them for piracy, if a native kernel exploit was found for the vita and playing backups became a reality, sure people like you who don’t seem to have an interest in piracy may not misuse it, but you can be sure that 99% of people who do hack their vita’s, will do it for piracy, it’s the reality of the situation, whether you like it or not. A console like the vita, which is suffering badly from a small and poor game library could only suffer from opening up the ability to pirate, on a console like the PSP, DS where they were actually popular, you could argue that piracy didn’t harm either that much, but you can be sure piracy WILL harm the vita. if you love the console, you need to understand that piracy could only hurt it in the long run.
@anonanon ,
I won’t say I think but i know you’re 100 % correct about the piracy concern. All people want is to pirate.
Regarding the Vita’s future if it gets Pirate friendly, it’s difficult for me to imagine or conclude whether it would hurt the vita more or even kill it in the long run . It seems to me that only Japanese market might support the Vita in the long run so less piracy in that region. But in other parts of the world where people want First Party games or FPS, they will definitely pirate all games. At one point , even I thought that if Vita got hacked, I will also pirate all games. But my thoughts were influenced by the anger caused by non-availability of good games on Vita and not to support piracy.
Coming to third party memory cards , well , I don’t know what to say. Just wish, I could use a larger card for an economical price and not Sony’s limited edition stupid cards. Even if speeds performed a little better, consumer must have always have choices, I hate corporate monolopies.
Thanks for your valuable feedback though, I enjoyed reading it. Feel enlightened , hehe 🙂
Once you resell the cartridge, a backup that you could have made would become illegal.
Yeah, that completely slipped my mind. But maybe an authentication method of some kind to make one cartridge getting linked to one account. But then it adds to more complication and confusion again. Peace Out !
This is great news, so will we be able to pirate vita games soon enough? Been waiting forever for this day to come, to download and steal vita isos.
No points awarded, try better next time.
@wololo Things are getting interesting. I hope something cool comes out of this 3.18 exploit, right now my Vita does things other than video games because I’m still on 3.18 and foolishly reset the whole system, deactivating it in the progress and losing access to all my games! Doesn’t seem like there’d be way to reactivate without updating, what a shame. Sony’s being really obnoxious with their whole security system, apparently people running emulators on their Vitas was such a huge problem :\.
If you have or a friend has a PS3 you can use the OpenCMA trick to download your games or if you just need to activate them you can just install one with the trick and the rest(usually) will be activated.
If you’ve done a factory reset you just need to sign in to your PSN account during the initial setup.
native vita hack = does it mean full hardware usage?
So much potential….so many applications! Let’s go 0/100!
Neat! I’m gonna see if I can tinker with vitasploit. Thanks, Hykem and Wololo. Awesome stuff!
Since this thing is patchable I’m gonna have to say that this is useless. I’m tired of these cat & mouse games. I know it’s very difficult to find a permament solution but if I was a coder or hacker I would instead try to find a permamnet solution than release temporary exploits that will get patched later on.
nothing is permanent anymore unless you hack the first level of the boot sequence. Nobody’s even close to that yet. You shouldn’t hope for that. The permanent solution is to buy 2 devices, including 1 you won’t update.
It really is an interesting thing to consider. Modifying consoles seems to be less and less useful as technology progresses. The newer the console, the harder it is to program for, the less useful homebrew we get. My modified original xbox and PSP will probably have more capability than my vita or a PS4 ever will.
I wish we could make Native Snes Homebrew and play without the little lag here and there and also somehow connect the ps3 controller to ps vita Epic..
Can someone make a video tutorial on how to install & use it?
webkit exploit will be working in higher firmwares to 3.18 in the near future?
it has been patched
Being webkit, exploits in the newer versions will be found eventually, your only hope (If this even gets anywhere for regular users) is that they are found in a timely fashion and ported to the vita’s webkit. I wouldn’t count on support though, not anytime soon at least. Right now these seem to be used mostly to understand the system better and collect unencrypted modules for inspection, in otherwords as it is, this exploit is mainly for devs and would be devs to use to find possible bugs/exploits in the vitas firmware, and to further out understanding of how the console works..
Notification Util
Useful for background processes 🙂
So may I ask???? I there any chance for firmware 3.30 or there’s no chance at all??????
Nope.
in the future yes,is impossible dont see that.
soo….this means a chance we can run TN-V without buying exploitable games?
surry engrish
TN-V is for the PSP sandbox, the scene has moved on from that, and is now looking at native vita exploits, it’s possible we could be playing native vita homebrew in the coming years
It’s a start… hopefully we’ll get to a point where you can run CFW (VITA, not that uninteresting PSP-emulator) and have an emuNAND that can be kept up-to-date. On the 3DS scene Gateway announced they will be supporting current-firmware 3DS (XL)s, 2DSes, and New 3DS (XL)s soon. Sad that it has to be the flashcart industry that is carrying the torch that was once held high by independent devs.
how can i do this, look awesome, video tutorial please, and what can we do, psp emulator?? sorry i am new in this.
como puedo hacer esto, se ve increible, un video tutorial porfavor. que puedo hacer con esto, se puede emular el psp, perdon soy nueva en esto.
got my vita with uno locked and loaded CMON BABY
This is impressive
Running Mystylist exploit on 3.15… awaiting developments :/
I wonder how difficult the bubble exploit it- would be nice to have a TN-V loader.. which would allow original firmware booting SOMEHOW… I have something in mind and i’m pretty certain that it would be a direct link on how to load custom bubbles- maybe through the exploit of SKFU’s
I just want to see the ram unlocked so we can get more powerful emulators and homebrew
screw backups and piracy, I want to see full power emus and ported abandonware!!!
please help the peoples… Do hacks and exploitz.
Does this mean that the PS Vita can be hacked and play Vita ISO game or something ? am kinda confuesd
