I think Sony should embrace the hacking community, to allow users of it's consoles to gain extra hidden, locked & unthought of features – but on the understanding that it doesn't allow for pirated games to be played. True – the off-set of that was it did allow pirated games to be played – which would hurt any company. Nintendo even though they originally hated the fact their console was hacked – decided to embrace the hacking community and sales of the consoles soared. Nintendo Wii was very hackable and look how popular that console was. I don't see what the issue is with jailbreaking… to get more features from a console / device you own. Until someone confirms that the jailbreak is real, it may be sensible to assume it is a fake.įound this article interesting?

What Reckz0r does do, however, is provide what he claims is a simple tutorial on how anyone can jailbreak their PlayStation 4.Īs you all know, PS4 runs Orbis OS, that is highly based on FreeBSD (which is a opensource operating system), and as the PS4 is closely identical to a PC, I guess you all knew that PS4 and the Xbox One will probably end up getting pwned soon, and now.its time.ĭoes Reckz0r’s jailbreak guide actually work? I’m afraid I can’t confirm that. Instead he credits a Brazilian console-hacking forum. According to Reckz0r’s post, he says he did not himself find the vulnerability in the PlayStation 4 (which runs Orbis OS, a modified version of FreeBSD) or create the exploit.
