Hackers have been circling the PS5 for almost a year now<\/span>and it appears they may have finally managed to jailbreak the 2020 hardware with a new kernel-level exploit first discovered on the PS4<\/span>. While it doesn’t allow access to execute certain types of code, the exploit has made it possible for at least one person to reportedly run Kojima’s Silent Hill demo prequel, PT<\/em>on their PS5, and will likely have massive implications as more people explore the jailbreak.<\/p>\n

the PS5 IPV6 Kernel exploit<\/span>discovered by \u201cPlayStation hacking god\u201d Andy \u201cTheFloW\u201d Nguyen last month, now has a way to be implemented, as tweeted over the weekend<\/a><\/span> by hacker SpecterDev. It relies on a previously known vulnerability in Webkit, the PS5’s web browser technology, that works on PS5s running firmware 4.03, and possibly earlier versions as well.<\/p>\n

The exploit works by having the PS5 access a web server housed on a local PC that contains SpecterDev’s implementation of the hack. It apparently works around 30 percent of the time, giving users access to the console’s debug mode, and thus letting them run software outside of what was originally intended by Sony.<\/p>\n

Here’s a demonstration of the new exploit that was tweeted yesterday:<\/p>\n
