Yesterday, hacker You must login or register to view this content. had released his 4.55 Exploit for the community which pretty gave every developer a good structure to hack that specific firmware, but at the end, we still needed a WebKit Exploit as an entry point to start researching and hacking that firmware.

In the span of 24 hours, a developer by the name of You must login or register to view this content. had released his own WebKit Exploit which is an entry point to start hacking a console. Quite weird, this WebKit Exploit works up to 5.05 and I believe the beta firmware unstable. Even though it might be an amazing release, the developer released it to the point where now Sony will be able to patch this up — meaning he burned an exploit and wasted his time coding it together. This though couldn't do very much to the end user since you won't be able to do anything crazy besides a few system calls or basically be stuck in the Sandbox not being able to break through it.

Even though it sounds like a facepalm moment, a ton of high tier developers starting tweeting at each other during the incident and they basically said it themselves, they have the exploits. Qwerty, on the other hand, hinted out that the WebKit Exploit was coming for 4.55 and other stuff, but some people didn't have the patience to wait for it. I won't bring up what the developers were talking about since a few didn't want them to bring it up, but I can say it was a calm feeling knowing they have it under control!



A quick reminder, since this exploit will probably be patched soon by the next update, I suggest everyone stay as low as possible on their firmware. If you're on 4.05, perfect. Don't move. Since none of this is implemented (including the 4.55 exploit Mr. Todesco had dropped.) It's better to wait until things are completed. Also, if you're curious about how to use this exploit. Go to his GitHub, and put all the code in the data folder on a web server and go to the page through your web browser.

Until next time.
