Huge Playstation Hack Just Dropped Right Now...

Summary of technological concepts / features (PS5 jailbreak + emulation setup)

Claimed PS5 exploit/jailbreak

• The video claims a “PS5 relapse/exploit” that works across firmware 7.00 through 13.60 (exact wording varies).
• The speaker emphasizes the exploit requires an un-updated (not recently updated) console.

Emulation and homebrew enablement

• The key outcome shown is the ability to run homebrew, including emulators via RetroArch.
• The video specifically mentions PS2 emulation as part of the workflow.

Core technique: DNS rerouting + WebKit payload delivery

• In Network settings, the user manually sets a primary DNS (example cited: 45.56.67.85).
• The console is then directed to a web page that serves the exploit.
• Payload delivery leverages the PS5’s browser/WebKit, which the speaker says is enabled indirectly via:
  • the DNS change, and
  • navigation through a “Guides and Tips / User Guide” flow.
• Debug/trace indicators mentioned:
  • “kernel privileges ready”
  • ELF activity
  • ELF loader (ELFdldr) listening on port 9021

Version/compatibility workflow (payloads temporarily removed)

• The speaker claims earlier payloads were removed from the current GitHub page, leaving primarily ELFdldr for detection/next-stage behavior.
• Workaround demonstrated:
  • Pull payloads from a previous commit
  • Example referenced: update readme.md / 09f105

Payload hosting + network delivery

• The setup includes downloading specific ELF payloads, including examples such as:
  • shadow mount
  • shadow mount +
  • ETA hen
  • a separate “PS5 upload” helper
• The speaker runs a local Python script that:
  • detects the PS5 on the local network, then
  • sends payload files
• Network delivery:
  • uploads are sent to the PS5 at port 9021
  • an IP example is provided (with some digits unclear)
• Non-persistent behavior:
  • after reboot, payloads likely must be resent (i.e., not permanent)

Debug/FTP-like capabilities

After enabling “debug” settings, the video claims options such as:

• Installing .pkg files
• Enabling payload toggles
• Starting an FTP server for file transfer between PC and PS5
• Dumping games / preserving content (framed as local backup/data access; a legal disclaimer is implied)

Game/software behavior under the hack

• Physical disc games are shown still running normally (example: Silent Hill 2).
• Online/network avoidance:
  • the speaker mentions risk of bans and avoids connecting to PSN intentionally.
• Because the firmware is described as “outdated” (no recent updates), the speaker implies fewer online patch interactions—so most use is local:
  • discs
  • installed packages
  • homebrew

Installing apps/packages from a PC (“PS5 upload” workflow)

• A desktop application/tool (PS5 upload) is mentioned for multiple OS environments (Windows/macOS/Linux/Android).
• The workflow:
  1. connect to the PS5 on the LAN
  2. send an “upload helper”
  3. stream/install packages
  4. the tool detects file structure and recommends installation/stream method
• Demonstration package (described as a legal/functional example):
  • PT (Silent Hills PT demo) is described as blocked/unusable for running,
  • but the installer workflow is demonstrated.

RetroArch setup + running PS2 content

• RetroArch is installed/copied to the PS5.
• The video claims emulation can expand beyond PS console emulation (mentions examples like SNES, Genesis, GameCube, etc.).
• For PS2 emulation, the described workflow:
  • create appropriate folders (e.g., games/PS2)
  • load ISO content
  • run RetroArch cores, emphasizing “legit PS2 emulation” after jailbreak

Cheats / mods mentioned

• Cheat functionality referenced via “ETA hen cheats”.
• Example:
  • Oblivion Remastered cheat options like invincibility and infinite arrows (as described)
• Speculation discussed:
  • possible 60 FPS patching for titles such as Bloodborne
  • potential improvements for other games (e.g., Red Dead Redemption 2) as tools mature

Community context / analysis

• The speaker describes the jailbreak as still very early and points to the PS5 jailbreak subreddit for ongoing:
  • new ELF files
  • FPKG compatibility progress
  • general updates
• The video frames the situation as “floodgates open,” implying rapid community experimentation.
