Hacker successfully cracked PlayStation 4 support running Linux

A Brazilian team claimed that the first time the PS4 jailbreak was successful, involved a cumbersome set of procedures that required the use of a Raspberry Pi to replicate the entire hacker's hard drive, and it was not until the month that it bypassed Sony's content protection.

Since Sony PlayStation 4 has been on sale for two years, the hacker door has always wanted to enjoy the fun of cracking the host. In June this year, a Brazilian team claimed that the first successful jailbreak of PS4 involved a cumbersome set of procedures that required the use of a Raspberry Pi to replicate the entire hacker's hard drive, and it was only months before Sony 's content protection was bypassed.

Today, Hacker Fai0verflow demonstrated that it installed a complete Linux system in PS4 and ran a GBA simulator to run the game "Pokemon", which means he played Nintendo's game with PS 4 .

Although the specifics of the vulnerability have not yet been disclosed, it seems that the Fai0verflow team has exploited the WebKit vulnerability of recent GitHub user "Cturt" records. PS4 operating system Orbis OS Unix-based software FreeBSD, browser based on WebKit, has been previously discovered that FreeBSD kernel vulnerabilities and WebKit vulnerabilities can be used to crack the host. After manipulating the PS4 system, Fai0verflow discovered the weaknesses of the GPU inside the host.

However, if users see here is going to DIY your PS4, I am afraid to be disappointed. Fai0verflow successfully cracked the system version is 1.76 of the Japanese version of the machine, Sony has been in the later version of the bug fixed, has been updated to version 3.11.

By the way, this WebKit bug has also affected Apple Safari, which poses some risks in IOS 6.0, OS X 10.7, and 10.8.

While PS4 owners are not yet able to install pirated games in the short term, Fai0verflow's actions are important. Sony has taken great pains to confirm that this unsigned code is not running on the host.

Sony asked the PS4 host to run the latest system software, so to really realize the crack I am afraid to wait until he really open the device to enthusiasts, like the PlayStation 3, but that was ten years ago. ( Su Jianxun)
