HENkaku-webserver updated (host HENkaku locally on your own server)
We talked recently about HENkaku-webserver, developer Meetpatty‘s initiative to create a locally-hosted version of HENkaku. Locally hosting HENkaku removes the needs for an internet connection when (re) installing the hack, and could also be useful in events like this one.
The feedback on this tool has been overall very positive, but people complained about a setup that wasn’t user friendly, and the “windows only” aspect of HENkaku-webserver so far.
Well, Meetpatty has dramatically simplified the setup phase, has the service now creates all the files it requires at startup.
HENkaku-webserver is still windows only (as it runs on Asp.net), but the developer said he is looking into converting the code to Node.js for the sake of the exercise, and to make it Mac/Linux compatible. Of course, the source is there, nothing’s preventing other developers to also have a look at it and bring the solution to other platforms 🙂
Download HENkaku-webserver
You can download the latest version on HENkaku-webserver on the developer’s github here. The installation process is described in the documentation. Remember that this is Windows-only at the moment.

good news
Great exelent
Is it illegal for you to link the required programs to run the server? I can’t figure out where to download IIS + asp.net 4.0, because I’ve never used these programs before and going onto the website I think hosts them just has a large list of programs I know nothing about. I’m also not sure if the thing I downloaded and installed is IIS + asp.net 4.0 or not.
I have little to no real experience with networking and networking software.
Use WINDOWS to install. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725762(v=ws.11).aspx
Thank you. So now I just enter my localhost and get to this screen. https://i.gyazo.com/597bf108d9a6d640f94ff2a94d86f407.png
Clicking on it takes me to iis.net though. I’m not sure how to continue and I’m unsure if “how to launch iis” is a good search query to enter since it just takes me to iis install tutorials that tell me to launch iis through localhost. I’m not sure if this is a windows program or something that’s managed through the internet browser. Sorry.
lol, nothing changed. Usage.odt still bad screenshots, half descriptions and on windows 10 it is too hard for most to follow the instructions.
Like user IIS AppPool, a lot of people can not even find the user. 😛
Still damn difficult for me to set up on my win10 After an hour of finally figuring out how to enable IIS I still wasn’t able to set it up’
negative.
I failed aswell, managed to kinda set it up , but all it does on vita is browse to the henkaku folder on my pc.
Based off fellow commenters, this still seems like it’s for advanced or experienced users only. Could someone make a “explain it to me like I’m 2 years old” guide, please?
Be great if someone made a video on how to do this. Since I don’t understand webserver setup and such
Windows 10 sucks. I can’t wait for the inevitable HENdroid.
this is where its at, let me host a hen server on my nexus6P!
Would it be possible to port this to a node mcu (a really cheap wifi-enabled arduino compatible board)?
This would make it potrable ;P
I have everything setup, I was getting an authentication error but i got it fix, now i get a white page, i tried to update the payload by deleting it but it does not load a new payload
its still difficult please make a step by step tutorial please thankyou very much
What about .NET Core?
How is this easy? And whats more we don’t even know how this will affect our internet it self. I think reinstalling the hack through vita is much easier for now. I’m gonna wait for a permanent patch when ever they release.
Hi. I have account with many games but i Want to use Henkaku.
It is possible to create a new account but save ability to play my old games?
@Megasxlr01: if 4 files are not in Henkaku folder, make sure fiddler is running now with rule enabled.
Now start molecularShell on your vita and choose install.
After you press OK, fiddler should redirect go.henkaku.xyz/x?…. to your IP
4 news files should be in folder now.
After this, it is possible to use your own IP-address in vita browser with fiddler and rule still on.
It should now use the 4 files in Henkaku folder.
I hope it helps a little.
Will asp.net 4.0 work on Windows 8?
The browser crashes after I click OK in the “Welcome to HENkaku” alert. I think it has something to dowith WIndows 10 not letting me add ASP .NET v4 in IIS. It only lets me use v4.5
The instructions are sort of clear and you do only need rudimentary knowledge of Windows and web hosting but this is still nowhere even remotely close to user friendly. The first article about hosting a local version of the exploit was interesting but difficult. This article is no different tbh, still difficult. When some all encompassing executable is released, or at least an automated .bat file, then announce that. That is news worthy.
Thanks, I have installed this on a raspberry Pi 2 and it’s working fine. it first I couldn’t get the molecule bubble to install – but when I moved the pkg folder to the root folder of the website it worked fine.
Thanks
