PS4 BadIRET Kernel exploit leaked
A source code version of the BadIRET Kernel exploit for PS4 (which existence was initially revealed by hacker CTurt a few months ago), has been leaked online a few hours ago.
CTurt has confirmed on his twitter account this is the real deal. According to Hackinformer, in a tweet that now appears to have been deleted, CTurt also stated that this code is missing a few components that aren’t too hard to add, and that Fail0verflow’s PS4 Linux won’t boot with the exploit in its current state.
Cturt said this is mostly code from another hacker that he helped working through the exploit that he had precisely documented.
@cfwprophet Leaked BadIRET code comes from someone I helped privately after they read my articles. Mostly their code, with parts of mine.

PS4 Kernel exploit – is it good news for you?
If you’re an en user with no programming skills, this exploit won’t be useful for you. You’d have to compile it and run it on a PS4 on firmware 1.76, through the 1.76 webkit userland exploit. (The Kernel exploit might work up to firmwares 2.xx, but then you’d need to find an unpatched userland exploit in order to run it)
If you have some programming skills and happen to own a PS4 1.76 however, this could be a nice entry point for you to understand how these things are done. If you get to display the debug message from the kernel exploit (Entered Critical Payload), you’re pretty much ahead of 99.99% of the PS4 homebrew community today.
But if you’re an “end user” and can get a 1.76 PS4, this could mean someone might be able to release PS4 Linux for you sooner than later.
More generally however, as I’ve stated before, people with the right set of skills could probably have figured out the exploit thanks to CTurt’s detailed explanation. This release probably doesn’t change much who’s going to work on exploiting the PS4 in the foreseeable future.
How the leak happened
Rumors say someone was able to grab passwords from several well known hackers of the PS4 scene, and managed to work his way into a private github where the files were stored. There is a strong reminder here for all of us that you should have different passwords on all the sites you visit, to avoid becoming the weakest link in such a situation.
There’s a group of people who believe leaking such information is a good thing for the scene as it spreads the information. In my opinion, hackers often have very good reasons to not share their hacks, often because they are not ready for public consumption, and as such are useless to the vast majority of users. A hack that leaks at the wrong time could typically be patched by the manufacturer before it is even made usable for the scene. The BadIRET exploit however has already been patched by Sony a long time ago, so it leaking is probably not a massive problem for the scene… What do you think?
This is exciting news, but also a bit sad given the circumstances of the release

Guess I won’t bother with getting a PS4 anytime soon. Yay drama.

I bought a Ps4 chassis C at 2.51 fw and switched it off waiting for this moment. Finally!
I delayed my Christmas until Hykem releases his Wiiu exploit. Lonely.
I’m a developer myself and if such a thing happened to me, irrespective of the logic of doing it, it will be the last thing that community every see of me….
As much as I’d love an exploit, I’d rather it came with a developer that knows what he’s doing, because he will probably be an important person with the subsequent community development.
I want to know and Ps4 jailbreak will release or not?
Probably not first
I found this ?

what is soppouse to happen with phis “ps4dogle” file, is it a way to make myself i personal ps4dongle for jailbreak ?!?
9/11 Leak was an inside job.
“This release probably doesn’t change much who’s going to work on exploiting the PSP in the foreseeable future.” – Damn, you people are way too slow. lol
Lol, sorry about that, will fix the typo
First!! I like to thank myself, my laptop and my isp for getting me this far to receive the first trophy
First, I like to firstly thank myself, my laptop for lettng me view this site and my isp for giving me speeds fast enough to post here and get the first trophy
roflmao
Another drama…. Exploit found.. Then not interested.. Then leaked.. … Some more exploit. blah blah… Ya, april fool is coming up
a
now everyone can be happy lol
leaks are good for devs which not in console-hacker’s chain-of-trust who dying to get their hand to code for their lovely consoles.
Interesting even to im a advanced programmer ( not a pro ) i’ll study this with the explanation of c turt sorry for my bad english
can i run pirated games with this?
“This release probably doesn’t change much who’s going to work on exploiting the PSP in the foreseeable future” I think this is a typo it must be PS4. Must have been PS Vita much better
Thank you Wololo, you’re great ! Good works I love you.
Excuse my english, I’me beginner ^^
exiting news !
I’m on firmware 3.15, and I think most of us so not so exciting. news.
Unless you have 2 ps4’s One of which is still in it’s nice clean new box with firmware 1.76…….
Sucks for you, I have two consoles. One on 3.15, one on 1.76. You can have one too, it’s just you missed your window to buy one at a somewhat reasonable price
That’s an important thing to note. The correlation between hack/development quality and number of users is quite clear to me. I hope that in the future new exploits will surface because many which are active in ps4 hacking actually have a console to work with.
For me it’s not really economically or joy-givingly justifiable at this time to get a old console at a hefty price.
And the Jailbreak that is good and that everyone desire… Nothing. Sounds like the ps4 scene never will appear for real. Many people is tired of this.
What are you talking about? With this release the exact opposite thing will happen. Now it can be a community effort from everyone who knows what they’re doing.
I hope you right. Is about time to appear something good for the end users.
What? About time? Sorry but (not sorry) who the heck are you to demand this? This is mainly by and for enthusiast.
Well isnt your weewee as hard as a corn lol!
Years come and go, leakers always leak.
One doesn’t just “grab passwords from several well known hackers of the PS4 scene”. Meaning, are all the pro PS4 hackers idiots?
There isn’t a store where they keep all their passwords togheter right?
Just sayin’, not shooting the messenger…
The problem is it only takes 1 person with a weak password to unravel lots of things. In that case, people seem to think the hacker had access to all passwords from thousands of people on psx-place.com and ps3hax.net, and some hackers were in that list. Some of them might have used similar passwords on scene sites and github…
My git has a public exploit online since the end of January. It’s just that nobody looked at the right branch / repo 🙂
