Both Sony and Microsoft's PS4/Xbox One adopt a PC-like hardware architecture, which makes it possible for the host to run the Linux system. OsirisX said in the video that he was able to run the game in a medium or low quality, but required that the PS4 system firmware version be 1.76. After successful jailbreak, he installed the ARCH Linux system, he used a simple and simple ARCH Linux system and compiled various drivers.

It is reported that the PS4 operating system is based on FreeBSD and the browser is based on webkit. Previously, researchers have found that the FreeBSD Kernel Vulnerability and webkit vulnerability can be used to crack the host.

Of course, bastion is just an independent small game, and installing a Linux system on PS4 gives other hackers unlimited imagination.
