PS4 PS4 jailbreak soon to be released: Developer Zer0xFF releases dlclose exploit source

DeathScripts · March 24, 2016

We had the technical writeup from CTurt, and the “confirmation” from bigboss. Today developer Zer0xFF put things together and released the source code for a proof of concept of the dlclose kernel exploit for the PS4. In other words, if you have a 1.76 PS4, you’re getting closer to a PS4 jailbreak, or to running Linux on your PS4.

This goes without saying, but this is not a CFW, it will not magically let you run pirated PS4 games. This is just one step closer for those of you with reasonable coding skills, who are trying to hack their PS4. You’ll need to be able to compile this and run it on your PS4. We give lots of details on how to do this in this article. That’s pretty much the same except you’ll use the dlclose exploit instead of the BadIRET one. (People have said that the dlclose exploit is cleaner and easier to handle).

From a scene perspective, it’s also good to see that more and more people are confirming the exploit and working on it.

Bigboss also hinted that he might release something for the sceen soon (ETA might be his birthday which is next week) , which I assume could be the exploit in a compiled way and potentially more user friendly.

If you’re a dev looking for help in building this, we also have a thread on /talk to get help on running the exploits on your PS4. Feel free to join.

You can download the exploit from the dev's github: https://github.com/Thunder07/PS4-dlclose-kexploit-PoC

Seems like these are good times to own a PS4 running firmware 1.76

Pointless...

Update will patch it immediately, and it won't be like anything the PS3 had such as MultiMAN (MMCM) or CCAPI or whatever.

The requirements to do what this developer is working on mentions it requires a PS4 on Firmware 1.76.

Unfortunately the PS4 will never be downgradable in firmware as mentioned before it's not a Developers firmware that can be downgraded... It's a server system now. So anyone who actually has a Offline PS4 on 1.76 will be selling them around for a lot of money! just so people can do this... But once again... the moment you upgrade the kernal/Exploit bug that Zer0xFF found will be patched upon console update... So realistically the only way for this to stick and work for you, is to just never go online.

Also... Since sony made the PS4 server based and not a Developers firmware upgrade, unfortunately for anyone with a PS4 that decides to do this once released... Sony CAN force update your PS4 without your concent... Every console has an IP + a code which is obviously monitored by Sony. It was heavily monitored on PS3 also, that's why us Jailbreakers (Such as myself) get something called CID banned (Console Banned) which essentially should stop us going online.

If... and it's a big IF Zer0xFF finds a way to change your CID on a PS4 then it could be safe to say, you MAY! be able to try mod away on your PS4 and change your CID, but then you run the risk of actually trying to find one... You could be banned for months if not maybe a year before you find another one, and by that time sony will find a way to patch running Linux OS on the PS4.

From where I am sitting anyone who is highly interested in trying to take this on, I would highly recommend that you do not take the risk unless you're a famous youtuber who makes loads of money to test technical thing and destroy them.

If you want a jailbreak to mod games, just go get a PS3 and an E3 Nor Flasher and do it that way. I don't think PS3 will go out of date anytime soon.

As I mentioned before with regards to having CCAPI and Multiman with Rebug Toolbox etc... You wouldn't even be able to spoof all this imformation to stop sony updating you manually... Which means Sony can literally see what's happening the moment you tamper with it.

That was a good thing about PS3... They couldn't do any of that to us... But they obviously found a way to stop their first mistake.
