PS4 7.55 kexploit: Sleirsgoevy, SpecterDev making progress on implementation
A few days ago, hacker TheFlow disclosed a PS4 Kernel exploit, for PS4 firmware 7.55. The disclosure however did not contain any proof of concept files, so the hacking scene has to piece things together a bit slower than usual, starting from the files of a vulnerability that was initially disclosed for FreeBSD.
There’s no doubt that multiple hackers have been looking at this release. Among them, SpecterDev has started streaming his work on the implementation of the exploit, with fellow hacker tihmstar. The first session, which was a few days ago, lasted 5 hours. The hackers have reached a point where they managed to trigger the vulnerability, but not “control it” yet. SpecterDev has confirmed they will keep trying to work on this implementation in the days to come, but hasn’t given a date for the next livestream yet.
Sleirsgoevy on his end has shared his ongoing work on github. According to the hacker on twitter, this is a working exploit on FreeBSD 9, but he didn’t share how much effort will be required to turn this into a functional exploit on the PS4.
Stay tuned for more on this PS4 7.55 exploit, as hackers keep making progress for a PS4 Jailbreak.
Nice work guys!!!
Thinking about going ahead and just updating my PS4 to 7.51 now.
Been wanting to play TLOU2 for the longest.
super
cant wait
I was watching that stream, they did a great job tho still a lot to do
If only the *** left him alone would not have left the scene and this would have been disclosed already with all needed details included but sadly some people are just too stupid sometimes and now other hackers are gonna have to rely on limited info and are pretty much close to working on it from scratch.
I cant wait
Wait for 8.03 hack
cant wait
but the implementation it is on kernel 5.05 not yet 7.55
I need the exploit
It would be cool, but i think i did a panda in my pants…
