Ultra easy PS4 hack – web browser exploit for 11.50 to 13.00 firmware

WebKit exploits are the holy grail of homebrew modding. You just visit a web page using the built in browser and it does all the work for you giving you a fully modded console in just a few seconds. The PS4 hadn’t had one since firmware version 11.00 but a new one has just been released through a Twitter post by Syimy.

So this exploit will work on consoles from 11.50 to 13.00. At the time of making this video if you’re on firmware 13.02 or higher you’re still going to have to wait.

Running the exploit is incredibly easy so let’s get started.

Checking Your System

First off you should check your console to make sure the exploit is going to work.

Head over to the Settings menu and System and then System Information. Check your system Software version is between 11.50 and 13.00 inclusive.

If that’s OK we’re good to go.

Set Up

To get set up for the mod we’ve only got a couple of things to do.

First we need to go into the System Information menu again and this time select Automatic Downloads. Make sure that System Software Updates and Application Updates are both turned off. You don’t want Sony to nip in and update your console while you’re not looking.

Next you need to make sure that your console is connected to the Internet.

Back to the Settings page and then go to the Network section. If you haven’t already you need to set up an Internet Connection. Just go through the Easy option and select your WiFi network and then enter in your password. Everything else can be left as default and finally check that everything is working. Don’t worry if the PSN link doesn’t work, you just need a working Internet connection.

This setup only needs to be done once after this all we need to do is visit the modding site to hack the console.
