  • 04.09.2020

Sony companies managed to create a gaming console that is amazing in every way. PlayStation consoles have always been at their best technical specifications, on convenience of accessories and software, by the number of available virtual entertainment. Also, Sony consoles have become one of the best in terms of protection against hacking. It really took the hackers a very long time to hack PlayStation 3. And the latest eighth generation console, PS4, and remained reliably protected from flashing.
But still, those who prefer to use jailbroken set-top boxes are looking forward to the news from hackers. What if the miracle of removing the license protection from Playstation 4 will happen! Some of the achievements of computer pirates, as well as the experience of successful hacking with PS3, help to believe in this.

How the PlayStation 3 was hacked

In 2006, the PS3 game console was introduced to the gaming audience. Almost immediately, attempts began to bypass the protection created by Sony. But unlike a direct competitor, Xbox 360 consoles, it was not possible to do this immediately. For several years, hackers fought over the program code and tried to create an ingenious technical device for hack PlayStation 3. But the first information about their real successes appeared only in 2010. Then they made a special USB stick called PS3 Jailbreak. It tricked the console into allowing users to run games from images stored on their hard drive. And pretty soon PS3 console was finally cracked - the hackers managed to decode the key.

Naturally, neither Sony nor the game makers were overjoyed at the news. The first PlayStation 3 hacks managed to fix it with an update software. But when even the low-level 0 key was decoded, Sony lost even such an opportunity to return the set-top boxes to the licensed path.
Process hacking PS3 was long and time consuming. But now those gamers who are not ready to pay in full for licensed games, may buy PlayStation 3 console with the established mod-chip Cobra Ode. This is a small board soldered into a set-top box and is an optical drive emulator. With its help, you can run games from a flash drive or from an external hard drive. To play on PlayStation 3 in not licensed games from the internal storage of the set-top box, a complete flashing of the device is required. Similar procedures can be done from your console and in store of game consoles "PiterPlay" !

Still, PlayStation 4 has been hacked!

Waiting to appear hacked PS4 has a substantial basis. Indeed, at the specialized conference of hackers Chaos Communication Congress 2016, the public was shown a successful process hack PlayStation 4. Craftsmen managed to bypass protection, install on the console operating system Linux, emulator game console Game Boy Advance from Nintendo. It would seem that just about it will be possible reflash PS4 and play any existing games no developer fees. But this did not happen, as the hackers decided not to reveal the secrets of their success and not to release methods. Hack PlayStation 4.

Also, the hacker Reckz0r described in detail some of the vulnerabilities of the console, which even earned a warning from Sony about the future arrest. But many consider his information to be a deception, in order to draw attention either to himself or to the console - they say that the manufacturers themselves launch fake rumors about hacking of consoles in order to increase sales. The stories about the presence of codes for JailBreak PlayStation 4, which then turn out to be just fiction.

"Brazilian" hacking method

Brazilian hackers have found a way to achieve the most important goal hacking PS4- installation of pirated versions of games on the console and their free launch. In fact, this turned out to be not such a positive achievement, since the user still did not get complete freedom to launch toys downloaded from the Internet. After contacting a specially created company for flashing PlayStation 4, the gamer gets a box with 10 games. If they bother him, you can put others for an additional fee. How Brazilians hacked PlayStation 4, is not explained in detail in order to preserve the uniqueness of the commercial proposal. Yet it is known that such PS4 flashing rather complicated. And it can hardly be called a full-fledged hack.

Check the honesty of hackers writing to in social networks about their successes with the new Sonya, it does not work - they do not disclose their methods, explaining this by their unwillingness to support piracy. So it turns out that neither the installation of custom firmware nor the PS4 chipset remains possible.

Buy a jailbroken PS4 - pros and cons

The main advantage of any flashed or chip set-top box- the ability to play pirated copies of games for free. Depending on the method hacking console, such games can be recorded on discs, run from external drives or an internal hard drive. In addition, the pirated set-top box allows you to use homebrew-applications, emulators of other consoles and games for them. These are undeniable advantages for the end user.

The downsides are the restrictions on access to multiplayer adventures. And this is one of the main advantages of modern console games! In addition, jailbroken consoles can have problems with software updates or even get banned from gaming networks. It’s worth thinking about whether to hack or not ...
In addition, even what seemed like a plus can come out sideways. Without spending money on licensed games, gamers zoom in collapse of the gaming industry. Who will invest in the development of new shooters, races, adventure games and other fun if there is no profit from this?

Will hacking PS4 be the last step before PS5 arrives?

It seems that having gained experience with PS3, Sony has made its new prefix really very protected from pirates. Rumor has it that hack PlayStation 4 it will not be possible until the manufacturers themselves allow it to be done. It seems that this happens when the "life" of the current version of the console comes to an end, a new generation is about to be released, and a "hack" occurs to dramatically increase sales of the console and draw attention to the brand. Well, maybe this option will suit everyone. Fans of pirate games will get a lot of entertainment. And those who behave responsibly and pay for toys will think about how to buy PlayStation 5 and inject funds both into the production of advanced consoles and the development of cool games.

At the end we will reveal the secret how to run jailbroken games on PS4, since this option, although not very common, we still cannot ignore it.

What is PlayStation Network

PSN is Sony's online service where you can buy and download games and applications for the PlayStation. Digital copies of games are stored on your hard drive. No additional steps are required to launch them, you can play on PS4 without a disc in the drive.

Games from disks are installed on the HDD, but to run them, it is required that the BR-disk itself is in the set-top box, since it contains information about the license.

PSN often organizes various promotions for which you can buy a game with a discount of up to 70-80%.

Paid subscription PlayStation Plus allows you to play in multiplayer mode, and also opens up free access to some games. Most free titles end up being indie games, but among them there is almost always 1 more or less worthy project.

Installing games on PS4

Before proceeding to payment, you need create and authorize your PSN account. The first step is to link your credit card or PayPal wallet.

Step 1. We go to the section "Settings" - "Account Management" - "Account Information".

Step 2 In point "Wallet" find "Payment information". Here we indicate a convenient way to pay for content on PSN.

Step 3. We enter all the necessary data, after which we check the correctness of the specified information and click "Save". To complete the linking of the wallet, click "OK".

Now we buy our first game:

  1. We are looking for a game in the catalog and add it to the cart;
  2. We make sure that there are enough funds to pay;
  3. We press "Proceed to checkout" and "Confirm purchase".

If you don't have enough money on your PSN account, click "Add funds".

If the message appears in the corner of the screen "Added in [Web Downloads]", then you did everything right. Wait for the download to finish and install the game on the PlayStation 4 - and start playing.

PS4 firmware

All consoles are hacked sooner or later, which is what happened with the PS4.

True, PS4 and Xbox One are not going to bend under the pressure of hackers and are still holding the line. The old version of PS4 software 4.55 turned out to be weaker than the developers intended, and it still managed to be hacked. 5.01 is also on the way, but so far these are only rumors.

If, by a happy coincidence, you haven't updated your set-top box for a very, very long time, you can launch a special exploit which will allow you to install the game on your PS4 hard drive for free and open it on your console.

Before installing a game on PS4 from a USB flash drive, don't forget to run the exploit.

However, this hack has several disadvantages. The main thing that you cannot do with a jailbroken console is to play multiplayer. As soon as you connect to the internet, she will be immediately banned from PSN. If this happens, you will not be able to use the PSN service.

Pirate Discs for PS4 it is impossible to do, since the licensed versions have a complex protection system. The drive firmware has not yet been invented either.

Install pirate games on PS4 if you can't afford to buy licensed copies. All projects that go to your console will be designed for one player, since you will not have access to PSN while the firmware is on.

Sooner or later you will want play with real opponents online, so we advise you to install the exploit, play pirated games on your PS4 until you complete all the projects you are interested in for free, and then upgrade to latest version and enjoy new titles that you couldn't launch on old version systems.

http://zecoxao.github.io/

I will add on my own that I previously activated the exploit through a browser (I went to one of the sites), but I tried hacking through DNS and I liked it better because:
1) All payloads in one place.
2) You can use the Internet without any problems, because after registering DNS, all ends with the sony servers are cut off and the console itself will not be updated.
3) More stable (just before each shutdown of the console, DO NOT uncheck the "Connect to the Internet" checkbox, otherwise after the next turn on, when the exploit is activated, the console will shut down (after updating the hyung to 1.7, it became like this, I use the Internet actively, everything is possible individually)) ...
4) Easy caching and the ability to use this hacking method without internet.

Minuses:
1) For some reason, the Linux loader does not work, although I replaced my slim with fat, because I really want to install Linux (and I just like the design better), but on slim linux does not work well as far as I know.

Pirate games on PS4

The network has long been talking about a possible pirated PlayStation 4 firmware.

Console of the Past generation xbox 360 was hacked a few months after it was released, PS3 owners had to wait over a year, and current generation consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One don't want to disappoint their makers at all.

Only now, 5 years after the release of the new console, appeared first decent hack, which allows you to play pirated games on PS4 for free.

The hack about which in question- an exploit that allows it to infiltrate the official firmware and add several new functions to it, in particular, launch free games downloaded from the Internet.

No drive firmware yet and it is unlikely to appear in the near future, so play pirate discs PS4 is not yet available. Now you can install the game from a USB flash drive on a PS4, which is much more convenient "fiddling" with recording discs.

Fortunately for Sony, but not for users, this method is not for everyone. To launch the exploit, you must have set-top box with software version no higher than 4.55.

If the version is lower, you need it upgrade to 4.55, and if above - hope that hackers will come up with a way to hack it. Most likely, this will happen very soon, since on some foreign resources appeared information on work on hacking 5.01, but at the moment all detailed information is in private access.

Flash PS4 for games you can in one of our workshops. First, call the managers and clarify all the details.

Since the end of 2017, messages have been circulating on the network that the famous PlayStation console 4 from Sony is literally a stone's throw away from a jailbreak, that is, a complete hack. What is the real situation?

What is jailbreak?

Before proceeding to the analysis of this whole mysterious situation with the PlayStation 4 hack, you should figure out what it is. Jailbreak is getting absolute rights on the device. Among the owners of tablets and smartphones on Android, this process is associated with unblocking ROOT access, but in fact it is the same as jailbreak.

The goals are also similar. Devices are flashed and hacked in order to be able to change their settings at the lowest level, as well as to bypass various systems that prevent certain things from being done in a protected mode of operation. For example, in the case of game consoles, such systems do not give pirated versions of the game.

Of course, hacking PS4 opens up a lot more interesting possibilities, but games are the main reason why the console has been tried since it hit stores in 2013. The opportunity to play all the exclusives is very attractive for gamers, because their purchase is not cheap.

Actually, the sale of exclusive games is main way earnings of the platform holder, whether it be Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo. Expensive games are the main counter-argument in disputes between console makers and "bakers". After all themselves PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are relatively inexpensive when compared to similar specs.

Is this the first hack?

No. At the end of December 2017, a group of hackers led by Specter made the so-called kernel exploit freely available. Netizens actively discussed this event, because for the first time in 5 years someone was really able to penetrate the PlayStation 4 system. At the same time, there was no talk of any jailbreak at that time, the exploit performed only one function: it "listened" to one of the important ports of the console.

Interestingly, the hack only happened on firmware 4.05; on all other versions of the PlayStation 4, the exploit is useless. However, big and small, and already in mid-January, hackers were able to install and run a third-party application, which turned out to be a pirated version of the sensational P.T. teaser, which was originally positioned as a demo version of Silent Hills, but was later removed from the PS Store.

The crackers captured the entire launch process on video. Moreover, they gave very specific information on how to repeat what was done. It turned out that they were using a certain DumpFile405. It is not hard to guess that this file was obtained by listening to the console with the same kernel exploit. And then everything got really serious.

Is PlayStation 4 finally hacked?

Why is PS4 Hacking Bad?

First of all, it should be noted that this material is of an exclusively educational nature. Developers must be paid for. The industry cannot live without the infusion of finance, and therefore the purchase of games is a necessary condition for its existence and development.

What will the rampant piracy result in? No, games will not stop making, but they will build in the need for a constant Internet connection. Already, many games require a connection every second, and modern security methods like Denuvo can greatly.
