Nguyen has said he has no plans to release how he was able to enable “Debug Mode” and crack the PS5 firmware. This development means that Sony’s firmware was cracked and could be potentially jailbroken to allow unlicensed files and programs to run. Nguyen said he had successfully enabled “Debug Mode” on a retail PS5 console. In addition to failOverflow’s breakthrough, over the weekend, famed white-hatted hacker Andy Nguyen (The FloW) made more moves in breaking into Sony’s system.
PS5 Cracked, Debugged by Hacker The FloW Over Weekend Sony patched the vulnerability on the PS4 shortly thereafter. They were also able to install the Linux OS kernel onto the PS4 in 2016. Particularly interested in gaming consoles, failOverflow successfully hacked the Wii U in 2012. While the discovery of the keys doesn’t guarantee a jailbreak or complete system override, it’s certainly the first step in that direction. This could be illegally-obtained games, movies, or any other content that isn’t licensed by Sony. The root keys are essentially a long string of numbers that allows the hacker to run any software they desire on the console. Similar to what they’ve announced regarding the PS5, hackers said they were able to break Sony’s PS3 encryption system through “simple algebra” and gain access to their root key. Back in 2010, at the Chaos Communications Conference in Berlin, the group announced they had breached the security system of the PS3 console. Though the hacking group is self-described as anti-piracy, it seems failOverflow is a regular thorn in the side of Sony and its PlayStation systems. They can all be obtained from software – including per-console root key, if you look hard enough.” Not the First PlayStation Hack from failOverflow The next tweet read: “Translation – we got all (symmetric) PS5 root keys. In their tweet regarding the PS5, failOverflow wrote “Another one bites the dust” with an uploaded image of what appeared to be the root keys. If successfully “jailbroken,” a PS5 could run illegally-obtained games, new operating systems, or firmware - which would cause a huge headache for Sony. Once hackers obtain these root keys, they can use them to decrypt files and reverse-engineer the system while looking for vulnerabilities. In theory, this means it’s possible to “jailbreak” a PS5 in the future. Prominent hacking group failOverflow announced via Twitter that it has obtained root keys for the PlayStation 5 (PS5).
