PS4: Hacker TheFlow discloses Kernel exploit for firmware 7.55
Hacker TheFlow has disclosed today a PS4 exploit for firmware 7.55, via Sony’s bounty program on HackerOne. A few PS4 scene members are saying the exploit might be compatible with firmware 8.00 as well, but that needs to be confirmed. Actual usable proof-of-concept files have not been released yet for the exploit.
Al-Azif mentions that the exploit in itself was already revealed back in July by Google’s security team. However that version is not specific to the PS4.
Most people missed when this was posted I guess https://t.co/Uslg5ydDor a bit ago heh

Once ready, the exploit will most likely be associated with the Webkit exploit revealed back in December, and that probably means a PS4 Jailbreak is coming in the days to come for 7.55 owners.
There is no publicly usable file for this exploit at the moment: The HackerOne page is a limited disclosure and does not seem to provide the proof of concept files, while Google’s github has a file that probably needs to be significantly adapted to run on a PS4. That github link might be the better starting point for hackers with the skills to turn this into an actual PS4 Kernel exploit, usable by end users.
In parallel, for those who manage to work on the exploit and push it forward, Al-Azif has published a few payloads that are supposed to work with 7.55 (thanks to keys provided by an anonymous friend of Zecoxao‘s. You’re still following?)
Stay tuned on this. I’m sure things will move quickly on this exploit, as they usually do.
Good news. Thank you “wololo”.
good news would be stable offline jailbreak without using web after every restart or soldering solution – if it has to be online hack then also with PSN too…
good news would be for you to buy the games and update to the latest version. beggars can’t be choosers
beggar is in your mirror – I could buy PS5 straight away and all the games from PSN but I will leave it to beggars like you until PS5 hack .i.
all that talk and yet you still beg for a better jailbreak, kid.. if u wanna lie do better
it is not a beg but an option – there are a lot F2P games for you kid but I always prefer apps like ShowTime on PS3 over games…
There’s a hack for that… it’s called buying the game.
sure you can run unsigned code by buying the game *facepalm*
So you want unisgned code and access to PSN for what genius? Maybe cuz you want to pirate games on the latest version and also go online? Look on beggars can’t be choosers and you’ll see your name bro
***
Omg, cry some more. Is it costing you anything?
just sayin not cryin like beggar called FLRIZDARKK – I have all what I want on my PS4 5.05 so there is no reason to move higher but PSN
would you just shut up?
i nearly fainted
Awesome
que bueno,al fin algo para los q tienen 7.55
It’s started ! A new year for me ! Really ! A good start of the year that comes with a fresh start for my 7.55 CE – 35888 – 2 console… You feel me, right ?
Tank wololo
Finally I’ll put my 7.50 to good use.
Thanks!
It turns out that my plasma TV breaking half way through last year wasn’t so bad after all, because I haven’t turned my PS4 Pro on since so it’s bound to be below 7.55!
Thought TheFlow was done with releasing public exploit for ps4
He disclosed it on Sony’s bounty platform. It will probably trickle down to end-users on older firmware, but he’s not exactly releasing it for us. I applaud him for profiting off his skills, and disclosing exploits for Sony could land him a comfy security job some day.
if mine is on 7.50, how would i update it to 7.55?
By using a usb stick with update file of 7.55
Don’t update, 7.55 is not confirmed yet, I’ll likely work up to 7.51
At least with a normal success rate, early reports suggest 20% on 7.55. With the 10% of the webkit exploit, it’ll be 2%.
Thank to the flow ps4 is getting exciting towward the end of the console life
Definitely good news, i just purchased a second hand fat ps4 at a pawn shop and it has 7.51 fw, now to wait. 🙂
I try to find a site to Download the 7.51 but, nothing. Somebody can help ?

Exrtremly thanks . very nice. Thank you.
I only want the PS4 hack to use dlc for my original Street Fighter V game because it tries to force me to be signed on to use in game currency in the first place and that makes me angry because I would have to update to the latest firmware. I think it’s a dirty rotten trick. I’m also interested in emulators. I have a legal right to backup my games.
good work guys
*Me still on 5.05* : Can’t wait for the updated backport tools
