PS4 5.05 Kernel Exploit released by @SpecterDev

including Homebrew Payloads !!!

After the first announcement for a Kernel Exploit incoming for System Firmware 5.05, Developer @SpecterDev "has been true to one's word" by releasing the announced Kernel Exploit (PS4 Hack) for System Firmware 5.05 (& 5.07). This is some Great News not because of a newer System Firmware is now exploitable, but it could be a giant stride towards a good evolution for getting more and more Homebrew Applications available - as already previewed before. Those mentioned "Tools" weren't fully released yet by the time of this writing but a full release should be available in a near future. This Release however also includes several Payloads and other useful Patches, as you can check them down below.​

PS4 5.05 Kernel Exploit

Summary

In this project you will find a full implementation of the second "bpf" kernel exploit for the PlayStation 4 on 5.05. It will allow you to run arbitrary code as kernel, to allow jailbreaking and kernel-level modifications to the system. This exploit also contains autolaunching code for Mira and Vortex's HEN payload. Subsequent loads will launch the usual payload launcher.

This bug was discovered by qwertyoruiopz, and can be found hosted on his website here. The GitHub Pages site automatically generated from this repository should also work.
  

 Patches Included

The following patches are made by default in the kernel ROP chain:

1. Disable kernel write protection
2. Allow RWX (read-write-execute) memory mapping
3. Syscall instruction allowed anywhere
4. Dynamic Resolving (sys_dynlib_dlsym) allowed from any process
5. Custom system call #11 (kexec()) to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode
6. Allow unprivileged users to call setuid(0) successfully. Works as a status check, doubles as a privilege escalation.

 Payloads included

1. Vortex's HEN (Homebrew Enabler)
2. Mira

 Notes
 

The page will crash on successful kernel exploitation, this is normal
