Bad_Hoist PS4 Toolchain Porting Guide for Unsupported Firmware by Sleirsgoevy

Proceeding his PS4 ROP 8CC Port, Bad_Hoist 6.72 PS4 Webkit Exploit Port and preliminary Checklist to Port the Toolchain, today PlayStation 4 developer sleirsgoevy updated his Github repository with a Bad_Hoist PS4 Toolchain Porting Guide for Unsupported Firmware for those interested in learning how it's done.

In addition, Peeter (aka PaulJenkin) has also forked the Github repository with a more 'noob friendly' Bad_Hoist GIT Fork and Porting Guide as well! :tup:

From the PORTING.md, to quote: Porting guide

This document will guide you through the process of getting this toolchain up and running on an unsupported firmware. The only implicit assumption made here is that the core exploit (exploit.js) does run on the target firmware. It shouldn't be too difficult to swap that for another userland exploit, but it's not discussed here.

This is more-or-less what I did for 6.51 (I didn't have any userspace dumps back then). 6.72 happened to be "compatible enough", so no more porting was required.

1. Find GOT offset

Dump WebKit using python3 bad_hoist/memserver/dump_module.py -1 (this should never fail). Then disassemble the dumped binary, extract all CALL imm32 instructions, and sort by the target address:

Code:

objdump -D bad_hoist/dumps/webkit.elf | grep 'call[^%]*$' | cut -d "$(printf '\t')" -f 3- | sort | uniq | less

You'll see something like this in the dump:

Code:

callq  ffffffffff0b9c41 <__bss_start+0xfffffffffd7aec41>
callq  ffffffffff2bf176 <__bss_start+0xfffffffffd9b4176>...

The following packages depending of your OS:

HEN according to your firmware version with the following patches:
- Patches to load resources from /data/self
- Patch for ssc_enable_data_mount_patch

Since it can be somewhat difficult to get them, I leave you a list of .bin/.elf for each version in which the above patches are already:
- For 6.72: modified version of mira in .elf format: download Thanks to Al Azif for the ssc_enable_data_mount_patch 6.72 offset ** (Side note: remember that to load the .elf you must use the "Bin Loader" of the OpenOrbis team)...
