Hey guys I've just read the news for this new 2.0 update and I'm loving everything I'm reading, Sony is going in a good direction. Now the hacker in me noticed they're implementing being able to upload music from a USB device, now reading this set off a flag in my head (as much as I would hate to see modded lobbies and annoying little kids thinking they're gods because they have a jail broken system, it's just the future.) We will see the PS4 jailbroken just as we will see an exploit occur on the xbone, there's excellent minds in the world. Now I'm thinking since they're allowing the option of uploading things with a USB, I'm thinking this is a (hopefully) easy entrance for a firmware exploit and hopefully it doesn't get out of hand and we can turn the PS4 into an excellent machine with some beautiful homebrew. Maybe I'm just crazy, but I'm going to look into it, how do you guys feel about the possibility of an exploit arising in the near future? And you other hackers, do you see this as being a possible entrance? (Maybe I actually have no idea what I'm doing) Please keep the discussions civil.
Your best bet would be on WebKit (the web browser engine). Not for the entire thing, but as a way of getting your foot in the door. Its actually funny that a 2.5 year old webkit bug was shipped with the PS4... Sounds a lot like nintendo =). On that note, If I remember correctly, you can grep the webkit bug report portal for *patched* "Unauthorized-to-view" bugs. Then compare the bug number to the the commit comments on the git repository. comex mentioned this clever approach at 30c3 I believe. Webkit is huge and always has vulns being reported+patched.

This may be possible like the chickhen exploit on PSP which uses photos to install a cfw
