PS4: Mathieulh shows he has a 5.55 kernel dump, taunts Sony
Hacker Mathieulh shared a string extracted from a PS4 kernel dump, from the latest 5.55 firmware. The string contains the date the firmware was compiled. This date, he says, is enough proof that he has a decrypted dump of the PS4’s 5.55 kernel.

Mathieulh had shared a similar string from firmware 5.53 a few days ago. This is proof that whatever exploit he and a few others have in their possession, hasn’t been patched by Sony’s recent updates. Firmware 5.55 was released less than a week ago, so this is pretty impressive.
His tweet even takes a jab at Sony by directly including their official twitter account in his message. He also uses the opportunity to taunt other hackers, stating he is he first to decrypt the 5.55 firmware.
When asked, he also replied there would not be an exploit release for 5.5x in a long time. The upcoming 5.05 kernel exploit is what we’ll have for now 🙂

What I don’t get is this.
If he cared about the company, why “taunt” them? Why not contact them to get it fixed.
If he cared about the community why hold it behind closed doors?
By taunting that he has something, but not releasing it to the community OR helping Sony patch it up he is accomplishing nothing and honestly should not make news for it… Just my 2 cents
that’s ego, man. everyone has it. but no so many have the ability and brain to reveal cool stuff
All the more reason not to care about some random dbag who only wants to brag about his accomplishments without benefiting anyone with them. This didn’t deserve an article or any attention. What was Wo thinking?
He’s not a dbag. The taunting sure it’s ego. Everyone has it. Hacking is a very hard thing to do, I’m sure hes spent LOOONNNNGGG hours doing this. It’s like bragging about a new promotion on Facebook. He doesn’t release because in order for him to do further research he needs an exploit that isnt going to get patched in a couple days. It’s a lot easier to find another kernel exploit already having a kernel exploit.
Exactly. Pure ego, and he has the right to do so, as he probably worked long and hard to figure it out. So he has the brains – and the ego, and the ego needs admiration and approval, so why not brag about it? If no one spoke about anything to anyone (a bit of exaggeration) nothing would change / improve. Now we know he has a solution. So others can be sure that it can be found. Good. It will be enough to release it when 6.0 comes along, and he has a solution to that as well 😉
Oh stop it i’m tired of ppl giving devs the ok just being a dev. If the guy had any respect to the community or the scene he would have done his reveal the right way by coming to “us” with his announcement all this is gonna do is encourage Sony to strengthen their firmwares even more. And then what? we gotta be patient for another 4 years for a full CFW release? He has the brains to find an exploit, but has poor choices on who to target them with….
Exactly. There’s no point in talking about this guy because it only encourages this kind of narcissistic behavior, which benefits no one
Shh!! Dont let him contact them to get it fixed. Their problem, not ours. Can’t wait for 5.55 jailbreak! YAY!
He will never release it
In the early XVIIIth century, the infamous french bandit Cartouche and his team were used to steal valuable goods from Philippe d’Orleans’ royal guards, especially the swords pommels.
One day, the captain decided to equip his soldiers with pommels sculpted in unvaluable metals, which were stole again. The thief sent a missive to the captain taunting that “it is unhonourable to rob a robber”.
Well, taunting has always been part of the romantic side of expert thieves.
First
they had 5.55. they won’t be releasing it soon and you know why? if they did that, game creators would stop producing games for ps4 now if they released the latest hacked firmware. sony will just release ps5 if that happens. wait for a few months until december for it to be released. that way, all other new games had been sold long enought before a new firmware and a new game to be released. just enjoy the upcoming 5.05 for a few months.
This literally has never been the case in the history of consoles…
Sony won’t just say “screw it" and release a console (PS5) that is probably not even finished and scheduled for 2020 just because the 2% of people who bought the most popular console of the generation can hack it.
It never happened with the PS3 or PSP.
exactly, They did a poll a few years about about how man people hacked their console and it was a very low number like you were saying who actually hack their consoles just in general.
You have no idea what you’re talking about do you. That’s not how it works.
LMAO why
primeiro
This guy will keep saying that he has “dumped” or has an kexploit for every new FW,of course without releasing anything….he truly craves for attention isn’t it.
I think he tries to look cool and he hope Sony will give him a big check and a well paid job.
Typical Math – PS3 3.56 all over again…
you said it brother. I remember all that happening
and he never released anything. It was the 3 Musketeers that leaked the lv0 keys. This is why we need to stop reporting this guy and giving him any attention.
Lol, this nerd is trying to show he is ‘better’ than anyone else without releasing anything. Typical French arrogant mentality – ” I am superior than you ”. I know it because I left this country. If only you knew how much type of Mathieulh there is in French, you wouldn’t believe. Thank God I left this country.
First 😀
Okay…where’s the 5.05 exploit? Hang onto the 5.55, that’s the least of our concerns right now particularly since you (Mathieulh) have made it clear you’re not releasing it anytime soon
first
4.05 jb released
4.55 jb released
5.05 jb TBA
5.55 jb might be released
What a coincidence.
it is simple why should he release? if he releases his psn access would be gone.
He wants to enjoy free games with psn. Simple.! no release for us.!
“Firmware 5.55 was released less than a week ago, so this is pretty impressive.”
Isnt it possible that its the same exploit that is present in firmware 5.53? In that case, he would have access to it from day 1 of the firmware and didnt have to do anything new to get it in firmware 5.55.
That’s possible.
Just ignore him, don’t give that manslot attention please.
Mathieulh is a Playstation Scene Veteran. And a big contributor to everything we have today so… RESPECT!
System are made to run codes, doesn’t matter whicth code. There is no way to block a code!
Stroking of e-P-ness intensifies…
Stop giving attention to someone who is never going to release anything.
I mean, you could’ve just as easily went about your day without making a post about it. It’s not like he’s forcing you to read what he said with a gun to your head, you chose to so it’s your problem not his lol.
He’s just announcing firmware dates. It means nothing.
I’ve updated my 4.55 to 5.50 only to play God of War.
They can release a 5.55 jailbreak and I dont care. Now I will only play on my PC real 4k + ultrasettings, no more on a old gen console.
Seeing as the PS4 is on its last phase and exploits haven’t really impacted the system, it will be wide open in a couple of years and probably more useful then. lol Alongside a new system. Honestly though, is there any real benefit at the moment? Does the hype outweigh the cons?
Let me guess… you sunk my battleship?
He is the worst ps4 dev guys, 90% ego, 10% show-off.
No share. No release. No proof. So it never happened
Hackers on the scene ps4 = Noob.
he done what is possible, so far …. cfw 5.55 wont be far…. if he still love what he doing….. we pay respect of his work…. my ps4 5.55 is await the savior !
Parabéns pelo seu ótimo trabalho.
since i’m a developer i wouldn’t share anything before it’s fully stable for use
so if i’m a hacker and i hack ps4 i’ll like people to get this hack too but what if i release a not stable exploit to exploit your ps4 and hack it and for even reason your ps4 stop working what you’ll say? you will attack me like youre doing to him now also if it has a lot audience and its a big community that wants to have a hacked ps4 and all those ps4 that is in the firmware that is exploitable stop working because ps4 exploit wasnt stable what he will get? a lot of fury people attacking him so
since i’m a developer i think that people might have a stable sytem/exploit/app/firmware to give people good experience so just stop attacking him because he doesnt release it maybe it still in a phase that isn’t automatic like ps4 exploit are and you may require to do somethings by you and it include some codes it reduces to a signicant people that can apply the exploit .
it means that this guy maybe has the exploit but he still making improvements to his code or maybe he still coding to give all the tools to can successfully exploit you ps4 and not kill it in the try
keep in mind that all developers sell or share their software in a usable state
i’m not defending him
i’m just talking by the developers side
if you say that a hacker isn’t a developer you are very very wrong because all hackers are developers they just found vulnerabilities and exploit it 😛
so just wait
How long do we need to wait for 5.55 to be hacked?
One or two fu**in year. Wait wait and wait.
Hey wololo! Does that mean that the 5.55 has been Jailbroken in private?
