Hello everyone,
As you can tell,
You must login or register to view this content. had shared the PlayStation 4's firmware 7.00 and kernel that has been decrypted on the PS4 Developer Wiki. A number of users are wondering what's possible with this short information. I spoke with multiple developers to bring valid data that we can pick piece by piece. With that being said, no, this does not mean an exploit is out or coming for 7.00...
at the moment. In other words, with the firmware being shared, it's a small starting point to observe the code of the firmware. Think of it like a normal security standpoint. For a pen-tester, he's given a scope of what hacking they can do beforehand to not get in trouble. The first thing on the list is to do reconnaissance. They observe and find a any open doors or vulnerabilities that can benefit them. Afterwards, they use that to their advantage and try to go in without being blindfolded. This is just a starting point for a normal reverse engineer. Their job is to view the code, find a changed/weak point, find a solution, then attack.
This will show us if they changed code that patches previous exploits, added vulnerable code, or didn't touch anything in general.

In addition, developer

This has been a joke made back in 2015 to point out that the findings of these vulnerabilities were quite simple and not that "surprising" for them.
We're not too sure whether this is PS4 or iOS related, so please don't get your hopes up at the moment. Optimism is always key to life, and bugging developers will not get anything done faster. He has told me that the project has been done, but forgot to record it to post on Twitter for us. We hope to see soon what he has been working on for a while.
Furthermore, a known friend with PS4 Project Team, OpenOrbis,

Before we wrap-up the article, I would like to show you underground work that no one appreciates that much that, in my opinion, is incredible. Developer

Conclusion
As a result, this isn't an exploit being released soon. Stay away from false downloads and YouTube videos. If you'd like to keep up with the developers, feel free to follow them on Twitter. We hope to see more information coming soon in the upcoming weeks!
