Finally it's happening... over a year ago fail0verflow revealed PS4 Linux on 4.05 Firmware and continued to school the PlayStation 4 scene on everything from Adieu to Kernel Dumping which ignited the 4.05 era of exploiting, jailbreaking and once again PS4 Linux followed by PS4 Linux Loader 4.55! :fire:

Many may recall seeing a demonstration from the Tencent Security Conference, and according to Rebug developer @Joonie early PS4 Linux Loader work was missing the now released 4.05 Kernel Exploit.

While many developers including @jocover have been working (405_linux_loader.bin - 21 KB) on a PS4 Linux Loader (GIT), PlayStation 4 developer @valentinbreiz (Twitter) who brought us the 4.05 PS4 Payload Sender last week was able to get PS4 Linux running on 4.05 with PS4-Linux-Loader.bin payload testing by @Darbness (Twitter) who shared a 4.05 PS4 Linux demo video below! :beer::beer:

Download: PS4-Linux-Loader-master.zip / ps4linux.rar (7.0 MB) / ps4linux.rar (Mirror) / PS4-Linux-Loader.bin (1.0 MB) / PS4Linux_Fedora.zip by fail0veflow (2.27 GB - Build Pass is 1 via @MrCarlesX) / GIT / Live Demo / PS4 Linux on Slim 4.05 Firmware by ecHs / PS4 Linux Loader 4.55

From the README.md, to quote: PS4 Linux Loader - A simple payload that lets you run Linux on your 4.05 PS4

WORKS! With IDC's exploit.

Hosted here for your use: http://darbness.com/ps4.

How to build

I use https://github.com/idc/ps4-payload-*** to compile it. You also need to compile https://github.com/fail0verflow/ps4-kexec and place 'kexec.bin' into this folder. Compile kexec with 'make CFLAG='-DPS4_4_05 -DKASLR -DNO_SYMTAB'.

How to use

You need a FAT32 formatted USB drive plugged in on any PS4's USB port with the following files on the root directory : bzImage and initramfs.cpio.gz. You can download them here.

Then you will need to send the payload (PS4-Linux-Loader.bin) to your PS4. For that go to your PS4 web browser, go to darbness.com/ps4 and send the payload to your PS4 using netcat or other.. (You can also use my tool: PS4 Payload Sender).

To do:
  • Fix ASLR (that causes a random successful boot)
  • Clean code

hey did you compile kexec.bin if so may I have so I can try on my end? If not I am forced to learn how to compile and I am already spinning lots of plates lately...
 
well uh without that it won't work so uh yeah :unsure:

S.O.S someone help me compile kexec.bin...I might attempt late night it looks simple enough but only linux I have is windows 10 subsystem and I am not sure if it can be used to compile I assume so...

ok done compiling let's see what happens now... I learn fast hehe

here is where I am at. darbness.com does not load for me fully. I can inject payload via netcat gui but nothing happens. Maybe page need to be fully loaded? I try to do local no joy either, I tried to use his payload sender but it can't connect locally or network (but netcat does so I don't think it's me) if I use netcat do i need a certain port? Thanks for your help.

got vid incoming

i am now in ubuntu linux on 4.05 you must have 2 usb drives for this to work.

 
I added the videos in the main article so everyone can find them thanks!

The rest (such as all the link mirrors, etc) we have some in the OP, or people can use their brains and click on the video descriptions to avoid c+p links floods here to keep things tidy. ;)
