At the end of last month, we reported that the hacker team Specter had announced a kernel vulnerability in the PS4 4.05 system, which allowed hacking and modification of the PS4 system's kernel, but at the time they did not release the code that would allow homebrew systems or pirated games to run. A month later, hackers finally took advantage of these vulnerabilities. Recently, hackers released the 4.05 cracked firmware, which allows users to run Linux systems on PS4 version 4.05 , and even use software to install PS2 games.

The alleged kernel-level vulnerability could give hackers complete control over a system, including running code that has not been verified for signatures. Not long after the 4.05 vulnerability was announced, some people in the foreign hacker community began to use "package creator" to install homebrew software on the PS4, but only those who don't want to upgrade the system can become the sons of heaven, and those of us who have something to upgrade the system People have to obediently pay for the game.
Based on the same method, hackers can install PS2 games on PS4. Of course, this requires the use of some special tools to deceive the PS4 system and use the PS Classics simulator to run the game. However, according to the current cracking progress, the distance There is still a long way to go for players to directly run PS2 discs on PS4. Anyway, some people have already taken the first step. Let's see what tricks hackers can play.
