PlayStation 4 has been hacked

in #technology7 years ago

A few days ago, a program allowing to trespass security system of Sony Playstation 4 running 4.05 software has been published. It is based on exploit called namedobj published by user called Specter this autumn.

The program allows to run any code on console and modify the system on kernel level. Because of this feature, it is possible to make a jailbreak using it and pass anti-pirating security systems. Exploit also allows to launch homebrew programs on PS4 not violating the copyright law.

The creator of the program does not share the source code, but provides a loader for launching it.

Note that owners of PS4 running latest 5.03 firmware can not take advantage of aforementioned exploit. Exploit only works with 4.05 software, making it useless for most PS4 users.
