Since the initial release and PS4 4.50 Kernel R/W Access confirmation by qwertyoruiopz, PlayStation 4 developer @SpecterDev began work on porting it and today he announced on Twitter that the exploit is now ported to 3.50, 3.55, 3.70, 4.00, 4.06, and 4.07 Official Firmware (OFW)!

This repo is my edit of the 4.0x webkit exploit released by qwertyoruiopz. The edit re-organizes, comments, and adds portability across 3.50 - 4.07 (3.50, 3.55, 3.70, 4.00, and of course 4.06/4.07).

The commenting and reorganization was mostly for my own learning experience, however hopefully others can find these comments helpful and build on them or even fix them if I've made mistakes. The exploit is much more stable than FireKaku and sets up the foundation for running basic ROP chains and returns to normal execution. Credit for the exploit goes completely to...

Starting today the limited-time PlayStation Humble THQ Nordic Bundle of PSN games is available, with proceeds supporting the Hand in Hand International charity or one of choice from a list of thousands on the Humble THQ Nordic PlayStation Bundle page.

Here are the complete details from Humble Bundle Copywriter Anna L. Smith, to quote:

The bundle will feature over $334 worth of games from THQ Nordic. Some are for PS3 and some are for PS4 (SIEA PSN regions only). Like all Humble Bundles, it’s a brief offering, and will only be available from 11:00am PT on April 4, 2017 until 11:00am PT on April 18, 2017.

Not only are a bunch of great games up for grabs, but the bundle also supports Hand in Hand International, a charity that nurtures grassroots entrepreneurship to fight poverty in over 14 countries (and counting).

If you’re not familiar with how Humble Bundles work, you choose how much you want to pay, with higher tiers unlocking more games. No matter how much you decide to pay, you can allow the default split of your payment, or you can choose where the money goes – between the developer, Humble Bundle, the featured charity, or even a charity of your choice from their database of over 30,000 options.

The following games are included in the bundle: For $1 or more, you get:
