Damage Control : Emergency Kernel Exploit Release
So, the scene has hit another strange situation. For some odd reason, developer qwikrazor87 went ahead and released one of his private kernel exploits on Twitter. Yes, it sounds absurd and crazy, and it is.
This kernel exploit was being used behind the scenes for quite a while. While we are all annoyed with this move of his, it was his work and we can’t do anything about it if he decides to release it, even if it’s in such a strange manner. Since this is a kexploit, we will likely have a user mode exploit coming on this firmware after all. Be prepared for a massive storm of madness in the scene soon if this goes on. Here are the words from qwikrazor87 himself:
Much drama, much kexploit, Sony and PSP devs, check this out.http://t.co/HZLXmmzh7T

This isn't a regular release, it's called a leak, I'm just being dumb ***, *** some people.— qwikrazor87 (@qwikrazor87) September 11, 2014
For those who are experienced with working with kexploits, the code for it can be found here
Since the kernel exploit is known to work on all firmwares including 3.18, eCFW binaries will likely become available for all previous exploits soon. We will keep you guys up to speed as things develop. Additionally, this means that the 3.30 update will likely be delayed in order to patch this kernel exploit.
Also, there might be more coming as he suggests he will be ‘releasing’ more things like this:
@hackinformer
No worries, there's more to "release" where this came from.— qwikrazor87 (@qwikrazor87) September 11, 2014
Anyhow, if qwikrazor does go through with these things, the scene is going to be in a lot of trouble, qwikrazor has been in the credits of almost every VHBL release we have ever had and he can definitely do a lot of damage.
Thus ends my first article in months, and it’s about a leak, that too of a kernel mode exploit. Last time that happened, there was madness everywhere. By the way, kudos to everyone who gets the (horrible) pun in the heading image 😉
Headline = topkek
#First, by the way 😛
so what now?
I´m more in the 3DS Scene so I dont know what I can do with this code…
Is there someone who could make this code usable for users, so we all are able to use TN-V?
E o jogo é?
Whats the problem, its qwikrazor87 own kernal exploit, he is allowed to release it whenever he wants ?
Tho i guess releasing it at 3.30 would be “better” for some of you, imo i dont care about themes.
Goodjob qwik
“qwik”‘s kernel exploit was created by him, brian balling and myself, so it’s not really his.
He has also threaten to leak other exploits that are either only partially his or entirely someone else’s.
oh, didnt know. Then its kinda wrong
That kind of thinking shows you’re on top of your game
Hi Connie,Thanks for taking us on your Italian adventure! Wow…Venice looks lovely and I like the idea of door and windows in jewelry art, too. Peeking in at some mystery…Dorothy
you dumb beech,you leaked the games
Well… I’m very disappointed.. Mostly frustrated because i’m stucked on 3.18 without a user mode exploit, so i cannot benefit of the leak! This would’ve been far interesting if he had released on a better way and with a exploitable game name and porting. Since i’m not that much into hacking this is just a waste, for me and for many other vita users as well…. Hope sony wouldn’t patch tomorrow with a 3.19 fw or before a proper game release capable of running into keploit, since it would be the psvita-fail of the year, quikrazor87 must’ve been drunk as *** last night…
kexploit does not come from a game, you only need VHBL so run the exploit. just keep your vita not updated and wait for VHBL release, then u can use the kexploit
Not that easy, i have now a keploit and i don’t have a vhbl to run into it… If sony launches a 3.19 fw and i loose PSN access i have no way around to download a exploitable game. Stucked… I owe UNO, mhfu, AD, none of this can’t run on 3.18 fw… I just hope wololo fixes this launching a game release soon, don’t care about the themes.. There will be time for other releases and maybe it’s better “saving” the best game exploit for later, but i feel no good in wasting a keploit… Even if qwikrazor says having more to release, to me this is precious as gold
what happened, did qwikrazor hit his head or sumthing? or was he hacked by someone who knows alot of his work..
Vita scene has always been like this, I’m kinda sad that the Vita will not get it’s full potential because of drawbacks like this..
well, he is free to do whatever he wants, it is exploit
Well…. No matter what I understand the guy. Maybe he doesn’t care about hacking the PSP within the vita.. I still own a psp with 6.60 and averything I can dream of PSP side..Well for me… It does not matter.. the last kexploit I got was the UNO exploit.. which was was one of the most compatible realease yet. I love the scene and everything in it.. dedication, leaks… VHBL.. kexploit but let’s be honest… we are hacking an emulator within the device… let’s deal with the real stuff and stop acting like noobs that gets wet when another emulator gets released… Just to let you know.. the DEV license for PSM is free… and we can dev real homebrews for the VITA.. the PSM SDK is really better than it was in the beginning faster … and everything.. porting emulators and stuff is not that hard for people that are into this…. well this said.. this is a sad news.. but… let’s face the truth… maybe we should just wait for the REAL deal…. and stop hacking a device within a device…
Partially agree, but to me, that i don’t owe a PSP consolle, having control of the emulator inside my ps vita is great thing tho. And this kind of no cooperation always deals to no results… People who works hard together for making this scene growing cannot just be “betrayed” this way, looks unfair to me and damages the collectivity purpose
didnt exactly betray anyone since its qwiks exploit.
What about the team he is lashing out against? He sure as heck betrayed their trust.
Good point. I hadn’t thought about it quite that way. 🙂
I'm getting some lavender in the mail soon that I won in a blog giveaway and need ideas for what to do with it. Thanks so much for sharing this! Perfect timing. I can just imagine you in your beekeeper get-up. So cute 😛
MatthewVarley:Chrome is not open source. Chromium is open source, and I'm pretty sure Flash will not be bundled with Chromium. Chrome already uses chunks of proprietary code.
If I were a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, now I’d say “Kowabunga, dude!”
PSM doesn’t allow emulators on the store.
What do you do with the file?
You compile it using the PSP SDK and then you try each game in a library of about 200… to find which game this kexploit is calibrated to.. lol.. but honestly dude… there is nothing you can do with the source only.. you need to know the game assiciated with it.
ok thanks
Wha? That is not how this works :/
Someone is really confused. Kernel exploits are for any game with VHBL. So finding a game calibrated for this kernel? Makes no sense bro. That’s why the same released kernel worked on countless games throughout 3.01. Until it was patched OFC. This is another kernel meaning it could be ported to all lower firmware versions of VHBL, and even current if Sony forgets to patch it (doubt that will happen).
put it inside your game and play isos. it only works if your console is taiwaneese and your battery is fully charged. If you have kilzone this will not work. Also you need to mute your console to trigger the hacks. Good luck, im playing isos right now. Remember to backup your emails before trying anything, this might format your memstick or get into an infinite bootloop leaving your vita unusable for three weeks.
idk what you do but thats just you lol
And now we can wait 1 years for a new kernel exploit for last Vita Firmeware (3.30) or never… very nice guys… “private release” , only Dev should have access to private release and don’t share it…
Well thats what happen when there isnt any Trust
qwik is a dev? he released his own exploit, cant people read before speaking
Qwik is part of a team, its the TEAMS choice if something should be released or not.
You are still under the impression this was 100% his work…
He’s now announcing on twitter, the game name, go see yourself guys. Also says uploading the files.
It’s a 10,99 euro game…
I hope qwik has something else up his sleeve, or else he shouldn’t have f***ked up with the “leak” of the highly valuable kexploit
Good work and looking forward to the tn-v or even better emulators on the vita, just do what you think right and stick to it, the fool write code to machine, while the brilliant just set rule for the life.
qwikrazor87 is at #YOLO mode
I fully agree, this is a very nice and interesting update And everybody should learn about it !At least the scornful blogger, who always and unnecessarily puts his long nose in here, has obviously seen it too as one can see from his newest pingback Cheers
geninne, you never cease to amaze me! could i get you to do some special work for me using verses from the Bible? i’d love it! just like your umbrella piece or the entire calendar for this year …. 😀
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the page layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
reminds me of the type-0 translation patch drama…
i´m still grateful for sky´s release decision ^^
So what’s with the cfw. would be easier bypass wall that sandbox by going straight for a 1.30/1.80-3.30

that's it. Northern Ireland is Northern Ireland, it's definitely a seperate nation. if im not mistaken, its hardly to find the name Southern Ireland because it is called only by "Republic of Ireland" thanks for the post. i find it very interesting
Hello. Very cool site!! Guy .. Excellent .. Superb .. I’ll bookmark your site and take the feeds additionally…I am happy to locate so much helpful info right here within the post. Thank you for sharing..
