- Beyond Oberon: Exploiting PlayStation 5's EFC and EMC by Shawn Hoffman
- Shawn has experience exploiting a variety of targets, but game consoles have always held a special interest.
- The talk will provide a high level overview of the system architecture of the PlayStation 5 console, with focus on the efc/eap ("titania") and emc ("salina") chips.
- Exploits allowing code execution on salina and titania will be detailed, along with release of a tool which implements the exploits. The process of initial exploration/discovery will also be briefly covered.
- From a security researcher point of view, the exploits are interesting as they cover a hard-to-spot bug in a firmware state machine, and abusing hardware misconfiguration to bypass memory protection measures. The exploits/tooling allow for further research into the system.

Code:
External HDD Crypto Method (Credit to Anonymous for the Findings)
Step 1: Decrypt with Data: 72 13 19 74 52 C6 CC 7E C8 A3 C0 6C 3E 22 F9 1A
and Tweak : 76 17 B6 E7 A9 73 60 FC 4C 67 BF 38 D0 7F D7 2D
Offset 0 sector 0 XTS
Step 2: Grab 0x20 bytes from offset 0x20 and sha256 hmac then with key 7617B6E7A97360FC4C67BF38D07FD72D7213197452C6CC7EC8A3C06C3E22F91A
Step 3: Swap result 0x10 offset with 0x0 offset, because 0x10 offset is data and 0x0 offset is tweak
Step4: Use final key as data and tweak for external hddHere's further...
PS4 PKGToolBox, New PS4 FPKG Games, PS5 Jailbreak & TGS 2024 Updates
Following the AutoBackPort Mod for PS4 9.00, this week's PS4Scene / PS5Scene updates kick off with a PS4PkgToolBox fork for analyzing and editing PKG application files from @SeregonWar on Github via X Post proceeding the Overflow WebKit Memory Leak PoC fork and some more PS5 UMTX Jailbreak Updates with @zecoxao stating via X Post, "some heads up about PS5 PKG installation and hypervisor being defeated: defeating the hypervisor won't automatically make you able to install PS5 PKGs, even if you have access to kernel .text read and write. You can however use the added power to try and defeat the a53io core processor that separately handles the PS5 PKGs, but nobody has tried that yet." 
Notnotzecoxao went on to remind users, "PS4 PKG installation on PS5 has a lot less security than its PS5 PKG installation counterpart" clarifying in another X Post, "not all games are supported. an increasing number of PS5 games is using more and...
