Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes (android app) PS4 exploit?

[CPUzX]

Hello. I have a question regarding the GZ android app and the PS4. I don't know how to summarise the question, but here goes: somewhere, I could've sworn I saw a piece of information in an article on here about exploiting the PS4 console with the MGS: GZ companion app. I was just wondering if this is true? Would one have to decompile the app and modify certain code that will allow specific privileges? I apologize for the noob response, but surely modifying the companion app could gain some form of authority to the system? Maybe even like the save data decrypted contents for the game?

I'd recently seen an article on how Game Genie found a vulnerability in the PS Vita's [remote play] WiFi transmission; which allowed access to partially decrypted game data, (mainly savedata), so as this question follows - is any of this a possibility?

If Game Genie can modify Battlefield, Tomb Raider and GTA V money on PS4 savedata via the WiFi signal from remoteplay, then what are the possibilities of the GZ companion app allowing further access into the PS4 (since we can modify the .apk android app).

I have no idea how to follow up on any of this myself, but if more of the right people discover the possibilities, there will be more chances of advances in the PS4/Vita scene.


I also have no idea how the remoteplay WiFi save data/ game data hack is performed, but an explanation would be awesome. I've only just started looking into ARM/x86, C++, java, to attempt a better understanding than I did years ago as a kid, so I really hope to be able to provide to the scene someday in the future; being able to follow up on things like this myself, and informing the community of the progress. Thanks for your time.

Don't waste your time with this little trick, because it will lead to nothing.(it is not at all a exploit )
If you really hope to be able to provide something to the scene, you have to learn ARM & x86-64 assembly.

First of all those Game Genie folk are IMHO a bunch of liars, Ever see them talk about it again? No? But hey a bunch of sites reported the "news" and made people aware they have a product available.

Not only that but you do realize the only thing the phone is doing is receiving video and sending button input right? It has nothing to do with saves or much of anything.

Could there be a bug/exploit in the feature that could allow for stuff? Sure but I very highly doubt it has one.
