PSPgo 6.20 kernel exploit found, but still no HEN release in sight

Some recent developments in the PSP homebrew scene has the community revving up again. Apparently a few coders now have access to a possible kernel exploit for newer PSP firmwares, two of which are coyotebean and Team Typhoon.

 

Coyotebean revealed on the lan.st forums a few days ago that he (or she) already has a confirmed kernel key for the 6.20 PSPgo. It seems he has one for the 5.70 PSP go as well.

 

While kernel exploits like this invariably raise the community's hopes for the release of a new custom firmware, coyotebean has so far said that "there will not be any 'enabler'".

 

Pretty much the only thing we can hope for right now is that one of the other teams with an exploit release their own HEN or CFW. The thing is, that may not even come to pass. Wagic coder Wololo explains:

 

There is an implicit agreement among hackers that these exploits should not be disclosed, because kernel exploits have become extremely rare since firmware 6.00 (it is believed a major cleanup of Sony’s code happened at that time to protect the psp go), so it is quite likely that these kernel exploits are actually one single exploit (so revealing it would ruin the efforts of other teams that try to keep it secret). Also, depending on the hacker, kernel exploits are kept secret for personal and/or ethical reasons .

 

Kudos to ThirstyCow for the tip!

That's interesting, and I can certainly understand their wanting to keep it secret, but I'm not sure I follow the "there will be no enabler" logic. I suppose they don't want their work to end up contributing to piracy (any enabler will eventually lead to piracy) but if you're not going to enable anything, then what's the point of finding the exploit in the first place?

It's not so much finding it I find confusing (they probably do it out of personal interest), it's finding it then revealing it only to never release it.

EXACTLY! I've been saying this for years.

If they find it and not release it then thats classed as a fake.

Why tell everyone about an exploit that will never be released? Does it make them feel like a big man? Must be some sort of compensation for their small penis size.

its been said a thousand times already, by many people before me. Yet I'll once again make the effort to help you see the logic.

First of all, I and many of us understand you are frustrated that you will never see a release of these exploits. But try to understand this:

Hackers try to find an exploit, and once they found it they will ask themselves this question "If released, can sony fix it?".
If they can fix it, then they won't release it, because an active exploit gives them the chance to look deep inside the PSP. There they look for an even bigger exploit that can't be fixed so easily. Once they found that, then they will probably share it with you.

So you would release a hen or enabler? Fine, lets see what would happen:
- hen released today
- Sony disassembly hen and checks what it does.
- 1 week later Sony fixes the bug(exploit) in there fw and releases it with something extra.
- Many users, maybe even you will download that ofw because of some lame extra thats in it, and because they just can't wait to try it out.
- SHIT! we're blocked again :(
- No more exploit for the hackers to work with... because you wanted a week or two with a hen.

Sure, you could say, "no one forces the hackers to upgrade", true, but first of all... they did all the work, not you. And secondly... there might be something interesting in the new fw, that they would have checked out if they still had the exploit.

The bottom line is, this post is way too long, but sadly enough it is needed to make some people understand why they don't get a hen. And hopefully at least a few of the readers stop complaining.

That logic is stupid. Sony will ALWAYS patch any exploit that is released. Release it now or release it later, it WILL be patched regardless. The only way it might not be patched is if you wait until the PSP is no longer supported by Sony. By the time that happens, much fewer people will care than if the exploit was released now. If the exploit was released now, those lucky enough to be in the know would take advantage of it and upgrade to the theoretical new custom firmware that would result. Yes, a new OFW would be released and a few morons/noobs/people who buy a PSP late in the game would be screwed, but at least a few of us would reap the benefits. Waiting accomplishes nothing.

# Timing, though.NoobSauce 2010-07-26 21:10
If they release the exploit just before a firmware update , Sony can hold off on the update until they can fix the exploit, then do what 1980 said they would. Waiting until just after the update is released guarantees more quality time with the HEN and forces Sony to add something more than an exploit fix with the new firmware (considering whatever they're gonna piggyback it off of would likely run on whatever OFW is released in response to the newer firmware).

I can also understand their explanation/justification in for possibly not doing anything with it.

But then why make it known at all the first place?

the reason they dont release it, is so sony cant block it.
this means they can turn any usermode exploit into a kernel mode giving a proper inner look at the firmware.

Then its kinda stupid to say there is a Kernel Exploit then. It just means Sony may look around more and fix it most likely. Before 5.70 or 6.00 A lot of hackers had maybe 7 or so game save exploits and maybe even kernel exploits saved up without telling anyone and in these newer versions they cleaned that crap up. Telling everyone you found one before a new OFW comes out might make Sony look over and find the problem themselves and fix it. All they have to do is backtrack it to the lan.st forum since it is listed at the top and I'm sure they would get some clues...

Now if they had 2 Kernel exploits and only talked about one that may have pushed sony to release an ofw "maybe" and then hope they didn't get both and release it so everyone. That way everyone would have at least HEN on the latest FW.

for what? if there's a kernel exploit on 6.20 there's no need for downgrading to 5.03 or whatever...
the kernel exploit in 6.20 can lead to a new HEN, so no need to go back.
a downgrader would also mean to release the kernel exploit, so that it get patched in the next firmware.

He released the kernel keys for the last psardumper, that requires a kernel exploit. There's your 'visual' proof.

Aside from that; Coyotebean seems like the kind of hacker that helps out the scene by releasing keys and giving help on forums, not writing hens.

And everyone can blame Davee for getting everyones hopes up. The kid has had the kernel keys and a hen for months but has never bothered to release ether. He just trolls all day.

the problem with finding explots in 6.00 isnt just becasue of sonys cleanup of code its

that becasue curently a working version of psplink has not been released/ created for the public so any exploits found cannot be easily tested

and the benerfit of finding the pspgo's kernel keys wont help the average user
becasue they will only be usefull in reversing the prx's to find exploits, which im told is how most of the good ones are found

Who's to say that they have to release it, they don't owe you, or anyone else any sort of release.

It is up to them to do what they want with whatever they find.
If in the future they decide to build off of it, and it isn't different, then whoopie, we get something new and everyone who bitched and moaned will finally be able to shut the hell up, and if they DON'T release anything ever, oh well, it isn't the end of the world, it's nothing to get sand in your vagina over.

I remember when people thought 2.00 was unhackable. Except instead of keeping secrets, they shared the exploit so more could work at it, and, well, here we are...

Sony is going to create updates regardless, fortunately for us, they're "optional". If the info on an exploit is released and Sony does send out an update to kill it, don't update. That's how it used to be.

coyotebean is indeed a skilled and known dev, if he says he has kmode, i for one beleive him.
he is the one who released psardumper with the Go keys.
by the way
what did geohott say when sony blocked otherOS from PS3?
dont update i will release a fix.
he showcased it, where still waiting for the fix.
theres no denying he does have 3.21 with otherOS, butt he pisses me off more than guys that keep kmodes to themselves.

Seriously, if the Go doesn't get CFW it'll be its coup de grace. I feel sorry for the Go owners, looks like these kind of are pretty much screwing them on purpose.
Meanwhile, PSP 1k/2k/3k owners just rely on patching ISOS.
"You brought this on yourselves"... not so much. The Go was targeted at people who didn't have a PSP and that model won't even run Birth By Sleep... so... why punish them even more??
My conclusion is... these guys are sadistic and don't have something better to do with their lives than bragging.

2. Sony pays them to keep their warez to themselves in exchange for a considerable amount, instead of just relying on measly Paypal donations after releasing said exploit.

At least that's what I'm gonna do if I'm Sony :lol: (and I'm sure somebody from Sony is trolling right now) :-*

Would not surprise me at all. And I don't blame them if they are taking money for this.

Yeeeears ago when some friends and I graduated uni, they made a nice earning by hacking the original Xbox. They were really smart and all that. Anyways one day they got a letter (not email!) from some lawyers working on behalf of Microsoft.
The choice was to attend some meeting or face a fine. At the meeting they were basically bought out and were employed by MS for a while.

All they did was crack software that MS sent to them and they were paid a fortune.

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if any of the popular PSP hackers are now working for Sony developing rock solid anti-piracy techniques.
As someone who despises people who steal games I hope they do a good job too. That way we'd see more developers jumping to the PSP2, more games for us :D.

I have yet to see Sony contacting hackers and pay them to shut their mouth. I'm pretty sure that's illegal because it's close to blackmail (except it's the other way around...).

Anyways most hackers just want to keep that one "final" kernel exploit for the day the PSP goes out of sale and Sony stops supporting it. Since Kernel exploits are rare, that's the main reason. That and concerns for piracy.
No hacker wants to be responsible for the discontinuation of the console they like.

If they release the exploit piracy would increase and sony would have to make crappier games.Do we really want that to happen?

Well, I went through all the comments and, wanna know what's actually going on? The scene is filled with faggots.

Really, just take a look at the X360 scene, the hackers MOCK M$ and keep creating better cracks, everyday, and I don't see M$ discontinuing their console.

The scene is just filled with that, scene kids. I want to be the badass and won't release my exploit, because someone might take credit for it.

Don't be stupid, you actually think Sony is suing these guys? If that was the case, then the main X360 hackers would be in jail for a couple of years, this is just a fucking drama show.

Why go through all the pain of finding a Kernel exploit and keep for yourself? Or rather, tell the world you've found it? Just fucking grow-up and stop crying over stolen material, gosh, this is so childish.

It's too bad they wont release the exploit... but coyotebean wasnt bragging with it, he used the exploit to get the kernel keys for his psardumper which he did release... he never posted anything in the way that he found a kernel exploit and wont release it...
Team Typhoon is another story they r just behaving like little kids, dont brag if ur not planning to release it!

Anyone under the age of 16 on this thread can just STFU. You have done NOTHING to contribute to the scene and are basically, spotty little Oxygen thieves who want 'free free free' for 'me me me'.

Hackers hack because they have a working brain and know how to use it for more than whining like little babies and spelling like morons. The attention- seeking little kids are YOU!

I blame the parents for not giving you a few more slaps around the face when you were mouthing off when you were younger.

Anyway, hackers hack, discuss things on forums for 'Grown Ups' (not you) where they share ideas and clues in a language that kiddies don't understand. However, some kiddies sit on the stairs when the grown ups are having their meetings and listen at the keyhole and then leak some of the smaller words (that they can understand) to show how 'big' (pathetically small) they are.

Hackers owe you nothing and will carry on hacking for their own amusement, and others like them. They are in fact not even aware of the ant-like little whiners shouting up at them to give them something, so go suck your thumb or learn how to spell or something useful.

I love all of the comments that claim this is 100% false, and that these people are childish because they won't give you instant gratification on a possible new CFW.

The psp scene (read: users, not hackers) are the most spoiled bunch ever, you all cry when you don't have exploits, but at the same time you put zero effort into supporting the system (just look at software figures, you're all just pirates who are angry because you have to pay for games).

AS someone who has actually purchased psp games (I prefer them to be on my memory card, and I rip them myself), you make the legitimate users look really bad.

Have fun pissing and moaning about this, cause you all look like 10 year olds.

HerpDerp,

I have bought every on of my 25 PSP games.
I just recently bought Peace Walker UMD (got the limited edition)

I also prefer to have them on my memory stick and I have been ripping and patching the games myself.

So not all of use who use CFW are pirates.

What does it matter? Nobody can use the exploit, whether you're on a moral high horse or not. All they're doing is being dicks, plain and simple. So what does it matter if anyone supports the system or not? They shouldn't decide how we use our systems, then they're just the same as Sony. What's the point of finding an exploit if all you're going to do is get a big dick about piracy? That doesn't help anybody.

# HmmmWotanvolk 2010-06-21 23:53
It would be nice to receive a new Custom firmware sometime, but I guess what we have will suffice. Its a year old, but its still works and Sony hasn't given me anything new that I would use through 6.20 that I can't do with homebrew or my MP3 player software.

What I have a problem with, if you have a moral issue with releasing this, then what was the point of doing it previously? At most, if you want to keep this a secret then why make it public. Keep it to yourself through private emails and messages. No need to ever mention it where any internet junky can access this info. or at best QJ.net. Mentioning this will only cause a shit storm as it did.

I wish I could hack my own PSP, but I don't know shit about software code. I do want to start college this next semester do get a crack at it. Maybe with time I can do it too. If you are making public advertisements of your achievement...you are only slapping the face of PSP users that have enjoyed the possibilities. I think on the most case, the psp homebrew days is rather dead. When the Fat PSP was still the only model out and a plethora of homebrew and indie game maker's coded these apps/games for the PSP users, it was great. Now the homebrew "scene" is been dead for about a year or so.

If the hackers dont want to disclosed the exploit , that mean they give Sony what they want, because sony want from the hackers keep it secret and we still buy the games.

And I want send a massege for hacker : ''u hackers r stupid if u dont disclosed the exploit because in this case u will give sony what he want, and u hackers will become friends for the sony company and this shame on u ''. thats my messege for the pirates. 8)
