Further PS-PSH mast1c0re telnet primitive shell server details can be found below for those in the PS4Scene and PS5Scene from the PS-PSH README.md: PS-PSH

A primitive shell server for the PS4/PS5 using the mast1c0re exploit in the PS2-Emulator.

Connecting to the Sever

The server does NOT implement the TELNET-Protocol correctly. Therefore it is recommended that you use a raw TCP connection to the server on port 9030.

Known working methods:

• (Windows) Use "Putty" and do NOT use any specified protocols and select RAW before connecting to the server.
• (Ubuntu) Use the the telnet command normally telnet <IP_ADDRESS> 9030
• (MacOs) Use the the telnet command normally telnet <IP_ADDRESS> 9030

Available Commands

ls - Lists all folders and files in the current working directory
cd <Directory> - Change the current working directory
cp <Source Filepath> <Destination Filepath> - Copy a file
mv <Source Filepath> <Destination Filepath> - Move a file
rm <Filepath + Filename> - Delete a file
pwd - Print the current working directory
notification <Notification text> - Display a notification with your text
upload <Filepath + Filename> - Upload a file to the PS4/PS5 to the specified filepath
download <Filepath + Filename> - Download a file to the local machine
play <Filepath + Filename> <OPTIONAL: Config Filepath + Filename> - Play a PS2-ISO with or without a config file
exit - Terminate the server

To download a file from the server use the "PS-PSH File-Receiver"

Note: All commands requiring a filepath will also work with only a filename provided. -> The server will search for the file in the current working directory.

Known Issues/Limitations

• You cannot write to all folders in the sandbox. -> Known and working: /av_contents/content_tmp/
• After downloading/uploading a file and directly trying to download/upload another file can fail. -> Workaround: wait a couple of seconds
• The server can crash after resending/restarting the server after exiting the server with the exit command -> Workaround: reopen OKAGE

Next Steps

• (Download) Support the transmission of the filename and file extention
• (Download) Support the transmission of multiple files (Directories)
• Add more commands such as mkdir etc.
• The ability to copy/move directories

Thanks to McCaulay for providing the mast1c0re *** and samples.

And from PS-PSH File Receiver README.md: PS-PSH File-Receiver

Download: ps-psh-file-receiver-0.1.0.zip / PS-PSH File-Receiver v0.1.0 / GIT

• PS-PSH.File.Receiver.dmg
• PS-PSH.File.Receiver.exe

Used to download files from the PS-PSH server.

Downloading a File

Use a GUI:

• (GUI Windows) Download from releases. (Built with auto-py-to-exe) -> Note: The EXE maybe flagged as a false positive by your A/V
• (GUI Mac) Download from releases. (Built with py2app and create-dmg)

Use the command prompt:

• (Python Script) Download /src/ps-psh-receiver-command.py

Either of these methods will crerate a file called PS-PSH-OUTPUT in your chosen directory.

Currently you will have to add the filename and file extention yourself.

Next Steps

• Support the transmission of the filename and file extension
• Support the transmission of multiple files (Directories)
• Improve the Windows version of the GUI to eliminate false A/V positives

Changelog:

v0.1.0:

• Initial release

v0.1.1:

• The downloader now supports the transmission of filenames and file extensions. -> You have to use PS-PSH File-Receiver v0.1.1!!!
• New command mkdir added.
• The rm command now supports deleting directories.

v0.1.2:

• You can now use cp and mv to copy or move directories.
  It is now possible to delete directories that are not empty. -> Use:
  

  rm -r <Path to directory>

• Fixed a bug which potentially caused the server to crash when reloading the elf without restarting OKAGE.

This sounds interesting. I'll have to try this out. But does this ban the PSN account?

Thank You!!!!

 

[root23]

Thanks. I'll give a try, looks good.

@tech0912
No it should be fine. I compiled it with the newest version of the ***, so it should not pop any trophies.

With that said I could not think of any way Sony would know that you are "exploiting" a PS2 game.
