PS4 Webkit exploit updated to support all 4.0x firmwares + SpecterDev’s writeup on namedobj vulnerability
Developer @AN0NY420 has added support for firmware 4.05 and 4.01 to the existing port of Qwertyoruiop‘s Webkit exploit by SpecterDev. (Do you follow so far?).
It’s likely that this webkit exploit, which was made public by Qwertyoruiop last year, will be used as an entry point for the PS4 Jailbreak that is expected to come soon for PS4 4.05 and below. As such, having a stable usermode exploit, compatible with multiple firmwares, is probably a great idea.
Qwertyoruiop had revealed the exploit, which SpecterDev ported to a variety of firmwares later on. AN0NY420 Added support for 4.05 and 4.01 this week.
As a result, there are multiple repositories + websites hosting this exploit, and they don’t necessarily all have the latest. For now it seems AN0NY420’s repository can be considered the most up to date, at least until SpecterDev updates his repository.
- Qwertyioruiop’s implementation (4.06 only)
- SpecterDev’s port (compatible with 3.50, 3.55, 3.70, 4.00, 4.06, 4.07)
- AN0NY420’s repository (compatible with 3.50, 3.55, 3.70, 4.00, 4.01, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07)
Additional Info on the 4.05 Kernel exploit (Adieu)
In parallel, SpecterDev has provided more insight into the PS4 namedobj exploit revealed last week by Fail0verflow. SpecterDev was one of the hackers who had worked on the exploit independently, but he explains he wasn’t at liberty to release it due to having received indirect help from Fail0verflow.
His writeup doesn’t provide a full implementation (the fail0verflow writeup doesn’t either), although he might release one in the days to come (he states he needs to clean up his existing implementation). He does however give additional details that complement what Fail0verflow published last week, for the people who want to look into triggering the exploit themselves.
SpecterDev’s writeup can be found on his github here.
I’m actually a bit surprised that at this point we are not seeing a “race to the finish line” from all hackers who have had access to this kernel exploit for a while, and now have received a green light to release a working jailbreak. I was honestly expecting a release to happen over the weekend. Maybe I’m dramatically underestimating the amount of work required here for some of these devs to cleanup their code and turn it into more than a Proof of Concept, and/or remove exploits that have not been patched by Sony yet.
Whatever happens though, there’s definitely enough material out there for people to actually implement a working kernel exploit and Jailbreak for firmware 4.05.
Awesome!
not yet until functional JB/CFW is released to the public – also at PS3 FW 3.41 JB it took few weeks until everything was fully working 🙂
Unless it’s a simple click to run exit and boot a game most people won’t be able to run it anyways.
Also, we need some FW 4.07 or lower decrypted games to use as well.
Primeiro
Agora meu ps4 vai está em 4.05 eba
The wait is finally over! Can’t wait for the PS4 golden era. Glad I listened to wololo and kept my PS4 at 4.05 😀
I have question I have ps4 that’s on 1.76 what should I do since the jailbreak will be on 4xx firmware ?
Just wait for the jailbreak to release on 4.05 and update to that FW later, for now just stay patient 🙂
no one is interested in such an old firmware.
old firmware == old games.
While we’re playing GOW, the kiddies will still be replaying GTA . Ha
I’m interested, and 4.05 isn’t old at all, sucks for you for updating and not being patient ***. And you realize after exploiting the lower FW it can be updated to 4.55 later right? hahaha!
Updating to 4.55…ha.. you’re dreaming.
Hope you like DriveClub and GTA from a few years ago.
Anyways my Dad will buy me one off ebay if I want it. I just click my fingers.
Good luck trying to get one from ebay fool, you’ll be searching for a long time.
already bought one. Ha. I be playing CFW later tonight
lies are so obvious , you never bought one, you couldn’t find it, keep crying tho 🙂
I hope your ps4 breaks today
Don’t cry too much.
Yup, plenty of games will work on 4.05, like FFXV, Gravity Rush 2 etc., not to mention the kernel exploit on 4.55 means we can play 4.55 games later as well.
Shame all the kids weren’t patient and are crying here now XD
You’re confusing the way the PS4 works and how the PS3 works. The root security key was found in the PS3 allowing us to fork up to current firmware versions – but ONLY on phat PS3 and 2k Slim models, no 3K or superslim work. The PS4 is completely different and the security is properly implemented. It will not be the same case as the PS3. We will be stuck on 4.0X just like the Vita until another exploit is released.
lol. I see tears …. tears everywhere.
You know, DriveClub isn’t a bad game… oh wait.. it’s terrible
Hi, You are just being ***. I have a PS4 thats on 2.03 firmware, not because i was waiting for a hack but because i was so totally underwhelmed by the PS4 that i boxed it back up and shoved it in the loft. Now, if a working jailbreak comes about and things get moving, then yes im glad to have a low firmware system to be able to use the hack. It may make me go out and buy some of the older games that i havent played yet, you know, the ones you think are ***. I think theres a little bit of child like jealousy coming from you because you updated your ps4 and now wont be able to pirate games for free. I hope your daddy tell you to f@$k off and save up for another ps4.
Does not bother me about being stick on an older fw either, online play is full of kids and epeen fanboys so i wont miss that. Plus theres 3 years + worth of games out there that i havent played yet so that will keep me busy for a while 🙂
the only tears are from you little boy, because you’ll never hack your ps4 🙂
have a talk with ur guardian u’d find that ps4 fw 4.05 realease was just a year ago.
Why would i cry because i cant yet hack a console that i havent used for at least 2 years… I have plenty of other consoles to play games on. Which exculding my XBone are all hacked by the way….
any idea what firmware new ps4 pro comes with?
higher than 4.05, check ebay for a ps4 if you want to join the hacking fun
greeeeeeat news
I can’t believe this I’m going to cry… I was so annoyed and jealous after the last news.
thank you wololo for informing us and a special thanks for all the devs who are trying to make Adieu compatible with all 4.0x
pffffttt i bet my *** most ps4 gamers are not going to be interested in this scene….
exploit for 5.0 please
I have question I have ps4 that’s on 1.76 what should I do since the jailbreak will be on 4xx firmware ?
When the time comes there will surely be a guide for people in your situation. Probably posted on this very site. For now just be patient and don’t think of updating until the people working on these exploits start encouraging people to do so.
stop dreaming, it took them along time to get a decent exploit on 4.05. If you wanted a hack then you shouldn’t of updated.
CONFIRMED: PS4 Slim Call of Duty Infinite Warfare bundle (standard black edition) comes with FW v4.01.
I know this because I just bought one from Target on clearance today for $209.
At any rate, as pleased as I am knowing the information from this article, I wish we were on the verge of a release for FW v4.50– the firmware version Sony introduced external storage support.
Who knows though. Maybe devs can add their own external storage support for FWs lower than 4.50. The Vita scene has shown me that truly anything is possible.
Is there a Chance for a REAL CFW? Or the only way over Charles Proxy Server?
ps4 4.07 tried the exploit and it’s telling me the exploit successfully loaded
Lol not interested in hacking my PS4 and losing all my genuine purchases and risk a ban or anything. Games are practically free these days anyways. It’s not like the ps2/3 and xbox 360 days anymore.
I’m kind of lost now. Compability till to 4.07 but only works till to 4.05. Means that will be possible to have a JB on 4.07?
me too…
Hope so.
I’m on 4.05 but my ps4 prompts me to update to 4.5 because it pre downloaded it. Is there any way to remove the downloaded update. Perhaps formatting?
There is . Check reddit
replace the hard disk. format it and install it back.
what about 4.07 ???
The kernel exploit is not going to work on 4.07):
Specterdev has also said, that end of day 30th, we’ll have a working setup.
I don’t think so, he said that’s the day he will receive the ps4 4.05 he ordered.
What about 5.00 ? :'(
