Sony PS5

A hacker have obtained all the PS5 keys

by

Fail0verflow, a well-known hacker group, announced on Twitter today that they have obtained all the PS5 keys. These can be obtained from the software-including the key for each console. And released the PS5 firmware file that was suspected to be cracked.

The last time Fail0verflow tweeted was in February last year, after nearly two years, they made a comeback. On the last day of 2015, Fail0verflow announced the successful cracking of the PS4 game console. They found that the broken NOP instructions on the GPU integrated with AMD Radeon made it possible to run the Gentoo Linux operating system, and demonstrated the entire cracking process at the 32c3 open source conference.

They also announced that they had cracked the Switch in February 2018. They found a vulnerability in the boot ROM of the Nvidia Tegra X1 system. When the Switch game device is started, the program can trigger the vulnerability in the ROM. They used this vulnerability to successfully install and run. Debian Linux distribution.

This tweet showed that they have some hackers who can access the PS5’s highly secure file address in order to extract the decryption key of their test device. Hacking is likely to involve some major hardware issues, but the tweet did not provide any details, so we have to wait for an article on their blog.

Whether they will share how to crack PS5 and whether it is easy to operate for people without hardware skills is another matter. Most importantly, Fail0verflow may completely control the PS5, through a kernel vulnerability or it may be a more serious problem than this. And other hackers may use their decrypted firmware files, which makes it more likely to crack PS5. Hackers will start looking for loopholes or write custom firmware and Homebrew activation programs.
