Rumors of a 2.50 PS4 Custom Firmware sparkle the scene
Rumors of an incoming PS4 CFW based on a 2.50 exploit started to ignite the scene today. Initiating from website pshax.com (which, as far as I can tell, has no track record of ever releasing anything useful to the hacking scene), the rumor started spreading to more trusted scene websites earlier today.
Which means now I have to take it seriously and talk about it.
Let me be clear: my ***-o-meter is blinking red all over the place on this announce and I personally don’t trust it at all, but hey, I’ve been wrong before, so who knows.
However, here are my concerns:
The rumor initiates from a site that has never been the source of a significant scene release.
The rumor comes from a 17 year old “developer” whose only contribution to the programming world so far has been a PS Vita PSM App which, judging by screenshots of the source code, does not speak in favor of the programmer’s skills. That developer has a github with absolutely no code in it. The developer’s website has a “store” section, which, besides the source code for her own game, is selling low value (not in price, but in actual usefulness) or questionable content, including what appears to be an ebook not written by her, and which is most likely copyright infringement.
The developer’s “plan” to share the CFW is to ask a bunch of random people to subscribe to their site. Now, in my experience, skilled hackers associate with other skilled hacker to discuss their findings and share it secretly, before doing wider public releases. They do not ask people to enter their email address to be part of some sort of mailing list for “future announcements”.
If, despite all these red flags, you think this rumor has any chance of being true, you can give your email address to their site below. To me, this is at best vaporware, and at worst a technique from this “developer” to bring attention to her website, or worse, to build a mailing list that she might use to promote unrelated products in the future.
Update: The site has now been completely changed, and under the claim that their site has been “hacked”, the developers state they will not release their CFW, but are instead working on a PS4 “Downgrade Kit”. They now “offer” preorders for that downgrade kit at the price of $60. Needless to say, you should not even give it a thought.
Source: Removed as this is now more and more looking like a scam
If it looks like a ***, smells like a ***, and tastes like a ***, then it’s probably a ***
FIRST!!!
its look like i am first 😀
by the way i dont belivet its just rummer
may be next time 🙁
I’m also 100% sure the Remote play he’s selling is not his and is available for free on XDA Developers http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/ps4-remote-play-android-thread-t3068225
That moment when PC Master Race don’t give a *** about PS4, but smell a con from years of experience of dodging questionable malware, and ***…
First I’ve heard of this but probably not many on such a low firmware.
So it’s a chick behind all of this?
A chick with a ***
Hahahaha, Checked out the website, it got hacked hard: http://www.tsiserver.us/product/virtual-terminal-source/ Thank you @star melter
Big words from a site that steals all the interesting articles from hackinformer.com
Show some respect. My site has existed way before hackinformer, and I don’t steal any article from anyone. I dare you to prove the opposite.
David and I know each other pretty well, why don’t you go ask him who provided help and advice when he was on the verge of closing his site a few years ago?
Bah let him think whatever he wants… at least, he says he finds the articles interesting 🙂
Would you like some cream for that burn? #rekt LMAO
I’m not too sure about this 17-year-old “developer” either, but who knows? Maybe she will come up with something useful.
April fools
FIRST
Look I have it too. http://i.imgur.com/gajX4xI.jpg Mine is fake btw
On their website, it’s announced that they were “hacked” and won’t be releasing the CFW anymore.
welp, not updating my PS4 anytime soon, unless 3.00 is needed for uncharted or has any cool features i want(no social ***)
Guess what? the 2.50 hack has been cancelled due to server hacks and the community not being able to handle the cfw. Hm it almost sounds like someone trying get attention with a fake hack but then seeing website sites like wololo bring the truth hammer on them. Then running off saying they mysteriously got hacked and that the community can’t handle it because “reasons” oh wow so sad. Or not I think it was obvious that this person did not have a real hack and just wanted to get attention and potentially use that attention to advertise other fake garbage. I could be wrong but we will see.
Click bait from a transgender weirdo… move along nothing to see here
First
Only 2.50:(:(:(?
My guess it’s an April’s fool joke.
First!
Another fake. Our best hope is wait something of famous devs like bigboss, cturt and etc… It’s a waste of time believe on this “hackers” that appear of nowhere saying : “OH, I have a Jailbreak”
Complete *** as usual. You should remove it from this site
Harry met sally then sally thinks she can hack after what gives its all bologna too many piser posers on the scene i can find who this person really is i plan to then exploit their trm_l.dat
