In advance, thanks to Red-EyeX32 for pointing this out in a Skype conversation. I'd also like to clarify that since PS4 was built off FreeBSD, the sandboxes are called "jails", so jailbreaking is the correct term.


At about 9:28AM EST, CTurt has claimed that he has managed to break the webkit process out of a FreeBSD "jail" (or sandbox). For those who don't know, jailbreaking was coined as you were "breaking out of a jail" or sandbox that an application is in, as if an application is sandboxed and you gain remote code execution, the damage is contained within that jail (very similar to sandboxie which is used here to check programs for Remote Access Trojans).

Now this hasn't been confirmed however CTurt is a known, trusted source of information and has already released some tools such as the PS4 Playground Tools and his open source PS4 SDK. He's also stated within the last hour or so that he has managed to dump RAM from process such as "SceShellUI". This is a huge step forward towards the possibility of custom firmware for the Playstation 4. Below are snapshots of the tweets of his announcement of the You must login or register to view this content. as well as the You must login or register to view this content..

Now there's still much to be done, including lots of reversing and other exploring to do, however as I've said it's a big step. This only works on firmwares 1.76 or lower, but that doesn't mean indefinitely that there won't be more exploits in the coming future for higher firmwares.

I have a friend who is implementing CTurt's exploit.

That's nothing, kernel exploitation would be better.

He has stopped his research apparently. No doubt pressure from SONY. But he has made public all he has done.

Are you high?
Pressure from Sony? Fuck man. That's why someone needs to stop wanting fame, and do it for the sake of doing it. If u wanna be recognized for jailbreaking a ps4 then you also want to be pressured to stop or face legal consiquenses. Anonymous is the real hacker. Those who want fame, no. It's about breaking in, and for the zero day, not fame.

You won't have to worry about it for now as it only works on 1.76 or lower, and even when and if cfw gets released, won't be able to play online, not for a while at least =D


That's true, but the chinese might build a e4 flasher Sal
And if you have full access to the filesystem it will take not more then a month to get a spoofer (maybe not a one click one, but a one that will work).

Spoofer isn't the biggest problem with going online, the biggest problem would probably be the ban system, the ban system on the PS3 was pretty strong for a while, on the PS4 it'd probably be even better at doing it's job.

This is a very good first step, but its likely 6 months to a year of reverse engineering work to get anything like a CFW or anything for pirates. However firmware hackers are apparently forcing the community to have their own exploit to not allow piracy (fail0verflow) and just putting in an alternate OS to make it a powerful linux box.

So give the guy a pat on the back, but don't expect free games or a COD mod menu any time soon...
