    RUMOR: Playstation 4 hacked in only 5 days?

    I have been away for a while, so my question to you is; did you miss me? I am aware that ya’ll were all thirsty for a cup of a fine Reckz0r release, so here I am…with a fine fuckin‘ glass of a RECKZ0R release, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! (did that sound sarcastic?)

    Before I get off started ridiculing Sony, I’d like to pay homage to Sir George Hotz, who looked into the eyes of Sony and made them ejaculate as they bowed down in fear. Very artistic of you, Geohotz.

    Now that, George Hotz has resigned from engaging in all types of sexual activities with an computer, and as all fans of PlayStation are crying for the comeback of GeoHotz..I’d let you all know, you don’t need that lil fuckin‘ faggot. You really don’t.

    Well, alright….LET’S GET STARTED ALREADY!

    As you all know, PS4 runs Orbis OS, that is highly based on FreeBSD (which is a opensource operating system), and as the PS4 is closely identical to a PC, I guess you all knew that PS4 and the Xbox One will probably end up getting pwned soon, and now..its time.

    NOTE: I did not find this vulnerability within PS4, nor did I write the exploit, while I was browsing thru an Brazilian console-hacking forum known as condinh0 (I am sure you all know this if you hang out at TOR). A person named x-s4nd3r released the devkit of PS4, as well as the exploit within 5 days of PS4 release. Although most of you don’t know how to apply that jailbreak on the PS4, I am making this tutorial to sort this shit out for you.

    -EXPLOIT DETAILS-
    OS: Orbis
    Console: PlayStation 4
    Type: Privilege Escalation/Buffer Overflow (allows to run assigned code)
    Created on: 25 November 2013

    ***IMPORTANT***** – You need the DAY ONE Update to jailbreak the PS4, otherwise these files will be considered unrecognizable.

    GUIDE:

    1. Create a folder on your USB storage device. This is where you’ll put the exploit.
    2. Create a „SANDERPS4“ folder. Inside that folder, create another folder named „EXP.“
    3. Extract the PSORBISEXP.PUP file from the package, and save it in the EXP folder.
    4. Make sure your PlayStation 4 is turned off.
    5. Connect the USB storage device to your PlayStation 4, and press the power button for at least 7 seconds. The PlayStation 4 will start in Safe Mode.
    6. Select „Update System Software.“
    7. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the jailbreak.
    8. If your PlayStation 4 doesn’t recognize the jailbreaking file, make sure that the folder and file names are correct.
    9. Voila! JAILBROKEN!

    —————————

    You now have the ability to run unassigned/assigned code and pirated games on your PS4, but do NOT go online, if you do go online, your console will be immediately banned.

    Have fun piratin‘

  • PS4 Backwards Compatibility for PS3 Games

    PS4 Backwards Compatibility for PS3 Games

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    It has been officially confirmed that the PlayStation 4 will not support PlayStation 3 games natively. This means that any retail (i.e. disc-based) or digitally downloaded games from the Playstation Network will not be playable on the new console due to the x86 architecture.

    In a roundtable with journalists after the PlayStation 4 reveal, Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida, President of Sony Worldwide Studios, elaborated further on the question of backwards compatibility.

    In the IGN article linked above states:

    „In a roundtable conversation with journalists, President of Sony’s Worldwide Studios noted that PS3 games of both the retail and downloadable variety will not be compatible with PlayStation 4, at least not natively. In other words, your PS3 discs won’t work in the new console nor will the games you downloaded.

    There’s a catch, though: emulation. The PlayStation 3 doesn’t read PlayStation 2 discs (at least not anymore), but it can play PS2 games via the PlayStation Store in an emulated environment. Yoshida concedes that this is possible for PlayStation 4 supporting legacy PlayStation consoles as well. Indeed, the Gaikai presentation during PlayStation 4’s reveal touched on this “everything, everywhere” mentality. But for now, downloaded PS3 games won’t work “unless, somehow, some games work on emulation. And the easiest thing, technically, would be to make PSone games work on PS4 with emulation. But we’re not talking about our emulation plans as yet.”

    In short, “There are two ways [to play legacy content]: emulation or cloud services [from Gaikai]. But native support [of digital games from PS3], no, sorry. It doesn’t work.”

    Gaikai and Cloud Streaming

    Based off of statements made at Sony’s PS4 reveal event, it is believed that Sony will be using Gaikai’s capabilities to provide access to games from previous PlayStation consoles through Gaikai’s cloud streaming capabilities.[1]

    At this point, it is not known whether this will require players to re-purchase games they already own, although this seems quite likely.

    Visit IGN’s PS4 Gaikai Integration wiki to learn more.

    Communications

    Sony has confirmed that users across the PlayStation Network will be able to communicate back and forth on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. The catch is that only text-based communications will be delivered across the platforms. Any and all voice or video messages will go undelivered between the two consoles.
