If you're standing outside in some long and cold Black Friday line today this is just for you- following the earlier news, today @harryoke confirmed on Twitter that PlayStation 4 developers have pwnd the PS4 Pro which currently ships sporting PS4 3.70 OFW with a 0day exploit! :tree::santa:

He also mentioned if you're getting a PS4 Pro for the holidays NOT to update it past the stock 3.70 version Firmware it comes with, which makes sense as @flatz recently confirmed the 4.01 PS4 Jailbreak vulnerability by Chaitin Tech was patched... and Rebug developer @evilsperm tweeted he's looking to unload some of his PS3 and PS Vita stuff and get a PS4 Pro. (-8

Should scene developers release anything that makes use of the exploit now that it's been patched, you'll definitely want to stay under 4.06, and snarfing a PlayStation 4 Pro on 3.70 is an easy shot at the chance of PS4 homebrew and backup game loaders including PS4 Rebug CFW / multiMAN if / when they surface. :thumbup:

One more (unrelated) video from Chipwelt, to quote roughly translated: PS4 3.70 download the update 1.76. It is a video that reveals a FAKE. ;)

On the PS4 you can only download the latest update, currently the 4.06. It was simply changed the ps4-updatelist.xml to pretend that a 1.76 is downloaded. The size of the download is identical to the update 4.06

Thanks to @mota, @Nesterwork and @xxmcvapourxx for the heads-up in the PSXHAX Shoutbox! <3

Keep in mind if you weren't around long enough to know who @harryoke or @evilsperm are, the exploit was blocked in 4.06 per @flatz (assuming you even know who he is :p) so it doesn't take a harryoke or evilsperm tweet to connect the dots...

PS4 Pro = 3.70, Exploit works through 4.05... using basic logic therefore PS4 Pro's stock Firmware = exploitable and worth grabbing ;)

It seems like flatz was assuming they patched it because Chaitin said they sent it to Sony. He said "it's obvious, no?".. I don't think he has the ksploit to know whether or not it's works on 4.06.
 
Or he figured it out on his own vs having Chaitin's exploit... there are a lot of other conspiracy theories, but really no way of proving any of them :ninja:

How do we know Sony didn't boost up security hardware wise?

Yes but how big is the chance that he got exactly the same exploit as chaitin AND knows it's the exact same exploit as chaitin's? It might be 2 different exploits?

ok some known names from PS3 scene here but we all need more details not just a nice video :)

there is no reason to buy PS4 unless it is clear which FWs and models will be able to be "pwned"

well technically speaking there wouldnt be such a list of what to buy EVEN if a cfw was out for a specific model fw etc. because it would still need testing see if this works with that vice versa trial n error ma man...then obviously a list will start with whats working with what and so forth.

am i on the dolla?

It's all speculation at this point... if the exploit isn't software (Firmware) based that could always be a possibility sure.

As you mentioned there's also a chance @flatz found another exploit or way in besides Chaitin Tech's discovery... yet again something hopefully time will reveal. :D
 
whats better purchase if I dont have PS4 atm... can have PS4 Slim 500GB for like 200 euro and PS4 pro for like 320 euro.. any hint if those who getting ps4 pwned will be doing pro only, or not?
