Information - (as of February 27th)

Welcome everyone,

Today is major news for the PS4 Community who has been with us for over 3 years now. Recently, we had received a 4.05 Kernel Exploit from You must login or register to view this content., and also a 4.55 (Exploit) from You must login or register to view this content.. At the current moment, it seems You must login or register to view this content. has now released a Kernel Exploit for the 4.55 firmware! With excitement going on our Discord Server, it seems this Kernel Exploit was easier to create rather than the old nameobj vulnerability he used back in the 4.05 kexploit he had released sometime during Christmas in 2017.



As this was unexpected, we have some great information to share with you all. As You must login or register to view this content. and his team worked on this, You must login or register to view this content. has now hosted a website where you can visit for the 4.55 Implement:

Kexploit: You must login or register to view this content.




Since we have everything for the firmware, there's nothing much but to wait for everyone to start creating things for. Since we're on a higher firmware, we can expect some amazing releases from different developers which we can't wait! You can go here to view the You must login or register to view this content.. In addition, You must login or register to view this content. did tell me he will be releasing a Write-Up towards his exploit very soon, so be on the lookout for that guys!

Vultra had asked You must login or register to view this content., "Is it as stable as your old 4.05 kernel exploit?" Specter had responded with, "No, 4.55 isn't as stable as my older kernel exploit, but it's stable enough. The kernel exploit isn't the problem, it's the WebKit Exploit."

"Should we expect any kernel panics?"

"Well when you're running kernel exploits there's almost always gonna be some kernel panics, but panics aren't anything really. They're a small annoyance"

Since we're probably going to be moving up to 4.55 soon, this means we will be able to launch more games that are being able to load over 4.55. As another reminder, You must login or register to view this content. had tweeted out telling to everyone to NOT update from 4.05 to 4.55. If you're not skilled to port your payloads, it's better to stick around and wait for a developer to make it. Can't wait to share more information with you all towards this topic, I will for sure keep in touch!

Why is it so hard to spoof the Firmware to latest Version like PS3?

I would wait, i'm currently on 5.05 and i was taking a look at the recent pull requests on Spec's 4.55

take a look here, apparently it's in the work for 5.01

Well yeah. but, think back to the ps3 days or xbox 360 days. Xbox had stealth to emulate a retail console and ps3 could disable the syscalls. But, there was also an sprx for ps3 for a short while that acted as a stealth server and spoofed your mac etc to get on AW but the dev quit supporting it when it first got hotfixed and made it private after. If there's a way to authenticate real from fake. There's a way to fake the real consoles.

I don't know. Jailbreaking a ps4 seems difficult but I give it a few years and it might be done.

What do you mean? It has already been done, lol. In addition, the new firmware is already taking the hit.

There has been no information about spoofers yet but there is a private 5.50 jailbreak
