PS4 hack: Zecoxao promises “top secret method” upcoming for Firmware 6.02
Scene veteran Zecoxao has announced that a “method” for “games” is coming soon for PS4 6.02.
Although the tweets are pretty ambiguous, reading between the lines we can assume he is talking about a method to pirate games on the latest firmware.
Specifically, Zecoxao has precised that this is not a hack, rather a “method”, and that once it is disclosed, Sony will patch it. He’s also clarified that this will only be useful for games, which I interpret as: “you’ll get piracy, not homebrew”.
reminding everyone that this is a method, NOT an exploit. it’ll only be good for things like games, nothing else

Sometimes the most clever techniques to run unsigned code on Sony’s consoles have emerged from “glitches” that were barely considered as hacks, and this could become one of those.
This announcement happens after two other PS4 hacks made the news this week, one a webkit (usermode) vulnerability, and the second one a yet-to-be-announced exploit (most likely usermode as well) by M0rph3us1987. Zecoxao has clarified that the upcoming “method” is not connected to these things.
In parallel to this announce, hacker Mathieulh has once again given confirmation that at least he, and probably a larger group of hackers, have access to kernel exploits (or even more) on the latest firmware, but showed no intent to release anything in the foreseeable future.
Meh…I’ll Just keep using my exploit chain, thanks xD

Setting aside the ethics of piracy for a minute, this release, if it happens, could be somewhat destructive for the embryonic PS4 scene: given an option to stay on a low firmware with full kernel access but with practically no homebrews, or upgrade to 6.02 and pirate recent games, it is likely a huge share of people will choose the latter, reducing even further the pool of people who can develop and enjoy homebrew on the console.
(And, as always, don’t update your console until you really have to)

hip hip hurray
Just can’t wait for this
well it will be better if this is out after morpheus presentation so it is easier for all to go their own way – i prefer homebrew as on PS3 😉
yes yes reddead 2 -spiderman-oh my god
lol
No zeco is only spokesman, it’s from M0rph3us… please correct asap. or check your bad info.
They never said this was his. Only said he is the source and what he is saying will happen. Never did it say it was something he was working on or that it’s his to release.
Link or your just full of ***.
Silly child, educate yourself as you are wrong, this method is not the same as M0rph3us’s method.
I seriously hope he waits until the release of the Resident Evil 2 remake because this is the one game I want to play. It will also be the last big game for the next few months.
I want the jailbreak only for exclusive games, I will leave RE2 remake for the real scene group CPY
Don’t understand why matheiu gotta show such attitude. He’s a good guy but such a tweet only shows arrogance imo. I respect the guy but I wish he wouldn’t do that.
THE TIME COMETH
Piracy and homebrew are two sides of the same coin. You can’t have one or another. Only both of them.
The new OFW 6.20 is out.
No Homebrew means can’t rip tho…
they might just can. those with a bluray drive or older firmware consoles might be able to help.
Dont blame his release as being destructive to the ps4 community because the one’s that’s destroying the community are the idiotic philosophies of those
who claim themselves the “hacker” of the platform but not intending to release anyway. Why tell the public about it, but not going to release it anyway, what are they trying to achieve? popularity? making everyone else feel miserable? Its their fault not so many people are getting interested in homebrew!
Could you guys stop posting about Mathieulh, what does that accomplish aside of giving him attention?
He was teasing during PS3 era and released *** nothing
heck yea. Now, to hope to god my PS4 doesn’t auto-update before this happens…
just uncheck that autoupdate from the setting … don’t risk it if you want this for your ps4
¿What do I have to do to be a guest blogger?
Math is such a lil bish
I love you hacker thnx
a … a game ripper homebrew backup manager lol :p
Well, here’s hoping RE2 doesn’t use FW higher than 6.20 at least. By this point in time, it can’t I suppose. It has to go gold very soon, to be released next month. It may even require 6.02 instead.
Nope, re2 is on 5.55
He’s talking bout resident evil 2 remake smartass
Sony forever, Nintendo fanboyism never!
Nah Bee. Nintendo allows console modification AND skyim modding support. Also smash ult.
Nintendo games are much too kiddie.
Atleast the Nintendo Scene is actually moving forward…….
Brazilian Hacker Zecoxão(Joe Big Thigh)? Why I’m not surprised? lol
Guys take a look at this… And let me know what you think: https://console-jailbreak.com/ps4-jailbreak/
don’t be that guy…
It’s fake. The zip requires a password so they are probably trying to make money with ads on it.
It works. You should try it
Fake ***. Be careful. Too easy to jailbreak. Not real
no no no and no
sh*t no again felisberto
is this similiar to the ps1 swap disc method? I was terrible at that?
Dont blame zecoxao if his release will kill the ps4 homebrew… The mere fact that matt did not release the exploit timely has destroyed the homebrew community. His arrogance killed it.. You cant have homebrew without piracy. Emulators themselves already contribute to piracy bigtime! how ironic.
“Guys take a look at this… And let me know what you think: https://console-jailbreak.com/ps4-jailbreak/”
never trust that site, if youll notice the date of comments changes every day to make it appear as recent posts. be warned
Can we please stop bringing up Mathieu? He does literally nothing for the community besides pretend he knows something with zero proof and never releases.
Will it work on any firmware or just on 5.05?
5.05? in the article the topic is about 6.02
I’ll believe it when I see it
we will have to wait a long time better be some method
Im sorry but sitting back and reading some of these comments is nothing short of the ignorance on these sites. most of the questions as well as statements are pretty much 101. Educate yourself than move forward
Thats ps4 hacking devs in a nutsehll as well.
Im wait 25 december for method yeeeess
Very curious about this one.
