PS4 got Hacked - Linux Distribution is on the web

PS4 got Hacked  - Linux Distribution is on the web

A group called Fail0verflow has demonstrated what appears to be the world's first deep low-level hack of the PlayStation 4. They are bypassing the console's security system, Fail0verflow managed to write a custom version of Linux for the console, and has made the PS4 Linux port publicly available on its website. 

A video demonstration of the hack also shows the PS4 playing what appears to be a modded version of Pokemon Emerald, renamed as "Pokemon PlayStation Version."

Impressive stuff, will be interesting to see if it get's fully unlocked and coded for, and whether Sony locks it off like they did PS3 'Other OS'.

Security of the ps4 was probably made by the same Sony team that manages the PSN servers.

They breach the FreeBSD security in which PS4 Orbis OS is based.

They get access in consoles who use a very old firmware, a lot of things have changed but the knowledge they have now can allow them to find new exploits.

FreeBSD was also used as base for PS3 OS, maybe its hacking was not bad after all for global sales and Sony want to repeat the scheme.

:D
