  6. Scrub

    FIRST!

    Already patched on recent firmwares

    • :O

      got proof?

      • Definitely

        If you know the nature of the hack then it’s very unlikely it was not fixed. Remember the host system is a FreeBSD (and so is the hack). So when it got fixed month ago (almost a year now), Sony likely ported and deployed it instantly.

        • :O

          mhmm but likely, maybes and could is not proof. No1 can say definitely yet except for those involved in the hack.

        Note that it was about breaking out of a webkit. (browser).
        Information about this exploit circulated a while ago and sony has patched the browser.

        What CTurt has accomplished was breaking further out of web browser code into the kernel.

        Dumping kernel will open path to cooler stuff.
        Also, since PS4 is very close to a normal PC, its code could potentially run on , well, a PC.

    welp, another ps4 is too costly to buy another since i have many online games i want to keep playing.

    heres to hoping i come into some money before a ‘jailbreak’ of the ps4 comes out, theres a ton of games id rather try before committing to spend money on.

  9. Brenza

    Awesome work, I can’t wait to see where it’ll lead to 🙂

  10. 8pcd

    Nice, hahaha i checked if it`s april 1. hahaha

  11. fvig2001

    So I guess this needs 1.76 right? Does anyone know what firmware the Japanese Dragon Quest Heroes comes with?

  12. lmao

    Vita is too awesome 😀

  13. NoPatience

    Someone plz hack the vita……..for piracy! :/

  14. APRON-MAN

    Exciting news can’t wait to see an article like this for the vita.
    Maybe something will happen with ps4remote play and the vita.

  15. Salar

    my dream to see something like this on Vita….

  16. wonre

    as I posted already in another CTurt work related thread a few months ago

    you can find ps4 1.70 in european PS4 bundle Last of us, if you can find one still sealed of course.

  17. Ohno

    Bufffff here comes again… The death of ps4 before get the best games like psvita…

  18. OldNews?

    I bet he’s gonna release nothing and make everybody wait. He is gonna try to get the fame for finding an exploit for the newest firmware for himself and can’t effort the competition looking through the kernel. Happy waiting.

    Good thing I got two ps4 one on 1.76 sitting in the closet waiting for this moment I’m hype this is big even if it’s still in the early stages.

  20. Manuel Eduardo Koegler

    Please don’t be patched, please don’t be patched, PLEASE DON’T BE PATCHED!

  21. Daniel_Migo

    Well… time to give some use to the 1.76 ps4 one that’s gathering dust….

  22. JoacoARG

    I want to know if the web browser of the PS3 can be used as a entry point like the Wii U, PS4, 3DS, or is more “Sandboxed”, anyone know?

  23. Ps4vaccine

    Ok this may be possible since the fsw isnt patched and 2 other vulnerabilites has yet to have been identified. This could lead to a future for the ps4 hack scene.

  24. Ps4vaccine

    Ok this may be possible since the fsw isnt patched and 2 other vulnerabilites has yet to have been identified. This could lead to a future for the ps4 hack scene. Thus can be hombrew.

  25. Ps4vaccine

    Ok this may be possible since the fsw isnt patched and 2 other vulnerabilites has yet to have been identified. This could lead to a future for the ps4 hack scene. Thus can be hombrew and future projects last like working on full backwards compatibility.

  26. RyoX

    Great News, Lets hope it arrives before Ps5 😀

  27. Sarge

    Well, I guess my PS4 1.76 is going to increase in value!

  28. gobulle

  29. TheZixGamer

    Exciting times indeed! And just as I finally pick up my PS4 😀 . There’s a lot of potential for what the PS4 scene could bring us on the homebrew/emulation front…. 🙂

  30. Amnesia82
