PS4 PS4 6.20 kernel Exploit Coming Soon ? TheFlow says " don‘t update past 6.20 if you want a kxploit"

It appears that TheFlow0 a very well know PS Vita developer/hacker who developed exploits like h-encore & Trinity and homebrew applications such as VitaShell for the PS Vita, has now been exploring the PS4.The developer has made a suggestion to the PS4 Community, as the dev advises anyone who is staying on lower ps4 firmware's in hopes for an exploit should not update past 6.20 Firmware, that got some attention as that could be the next fully exploited firmware that arises on the PlayStation 4. We have seen the release of multiple 6.20 WebKit exploits in the public (seen here from Specterdev (patched in 6.50) and then also Fire30 subsequently with another (different webkit entry) seen here (patched in 6.72)) which these two webkit exploits are the first piece, typically servings as a "foot in the door" or "entry point" for additional explorations / execution of potentials like a kernel exploits once (if) discovered.. TheFlow0's recent tweets (as outlined below) suggest he may of found that next piece in the all important kxploit and that means we may be graduating to 6.20 from 5.05 in the near future. However, this is still a bit early as the dev is just now getting his hands on the actual hardware to put his confident theories to the test (it appears, however he had confirmed (?) some discovery or theories with the latest tweet). This developer/hacker is very talented and well known so there is confidence among many of the claims made are positive steps forward. Stay tuned to the story as this develops, the developer is likely to give some additional progress reports in the future on his official twitter linked below, and we will keep you posted about any news that rolls out pertaining to what appears to be an advancement in the PS4 community that has been seeing a rise in development..

    • Mar 10 - Somebody wanna donate me a 6.20FW PS4?
    • Mar 11 - Also don't update past FW 6.20 if you want a kxploit
    • Mar 13 - I didn't have any vulnerabilities when I wrote that. Now I have. 3 days later :)

especially when you see things like this in the screenshot attached ("Firmware 6.xx: Fully exploited in private").
Also, it doesn't help when known Youtubers like MrMario are basically reporting the same thing (Firmware 6.xx exploited in Private) as shown in the previous screenshot I have attached in the last post.

One more thing, yes, 6.20 is 100% exploited privately, but to imply that its private due to Sony paying is crazy.

Do you not understand the way these hacks work at all? are you the real gDrive who has been around since the early days or some imposter seriously?

EDIT: and one more thing too:
especially those who consider themselves to be "Developers"?

I actually don't consider myself a developer at all and have said that tonnes of times. I consider myself an XMB /XMBML modder and that's it, I have no coding skills whatsoever.

I think devs are great, but I don't think coding skills have anything to do with finding this conspiracy ridiculous. It's just common sense. Sony are not going to pay a hacker releasing hacks on Vitas current FW to not release a PS4 exploit unless they DISCLOSE it to Sony..

Think about it for a second, how do they even know the exploit exists unless its DISCLOSED??

Well, to accuse someone of "being scarred" just because of differing takes that aren't even offensive, is gaslighting, and if anything, I see Devil being in the wrong, and the same goes with you for dismissing that entirely - not @antagonist here, but you do you.

Same ole' @gDrive i see.


@antagonist shared an opinion (which is perfectly fine) He said " My own speculation," Okay when someone share's an opinion they are doing what? Opening themselves for a rebuttal (you dont make a theory if you cant handle the rebuttals)), he got one from Devil (which is perfectly fine & in my view there was nothing wrong with it, i am sure @antagonist has thicker skin then that.).. Should of been end of the story but no you want to report a post and then also comment and make something out of nothing .. Same ole @gDrive is all i see.blaming others for something your doing.. WoW that sounds familiar :)

100%, and I am open to one myself too. Maybe there is a decent point I have missed so far and I will reconsider my position if I get a decent rebuttal.

I think you hit it on the head to be honest.
Its obviously not the case..

My own speculation, I firmly believe this is nothing new. Those in "the circle" have had this and other exploits most likely all the way to current fw, for at least a year now. The facade of jailbreak being developed right now at this point in time for this firmware is just that, a facade. I'd put my gonads on the line and go as far to say Sony has DICTATED what exact date this exploit would be allowable after, make no mistake thinking Sony hasn't already paid these people off, well ahead in advance.

I agree with DeViL, they are not paying someone who has released the past vita exploits lol. They are for sure not paying them then saying release on this day lol.....
But also make sure you warn the user's ahead of time as well ..
I agree this does not make sense.

I left a jar for the donation. (current balls are just placeholders) :)

Edit:
@antagonist , welcome the theory but its really far fetched and no way the case as simply does not make any logical sense and would never go down as the way you described.

Oh I know how hacks work, but why mention that X has been hacked, yet it has to be kept private? That in itself arouses suspicion, and as I have said, it's therefore, understandable as to why certain viewpoints have come to existence, and there has been annoyances here.

Full disclosure: I don't necessarily believe that take, but I do feel that something is clearly not right in terms of transparency and honesty in terms of exploits

Also, I'll just leave this image here

Yeah...I'm trying to imagine the board meeting...

Sony interactive entertainment exec 1 said:
yes, I think if we allow the release of the 6.20 exploit on the 12th of June 2020 that will be best for sales
Sony interactive entertainment exec 2 said:
Make sure to tell TheFlow it's ok to warn people publicaly that the 6.20 exploit is coming soon
Sony interactive entertainment exec 1 said:
will do, isn't it great the way we infiltrated the hacking scene by giving TheFlow those 3.73 Vita exploits, now we get to decide when 6.20 ps4 exploits release
Sony interactive entertainment exec 2 said:
BTW, I paid TheFlow that $10,000 to hold back until June, should we give him more?

:D :D :-p

I don't think you do

"TheFlow says " don't update past 6.20 if you want a kxploit"
What the heck is in that cup?

Viewpoints are great but if they do not make ;logical sense then they will be debunked..
No need to get butt hurt because a theory you believe is debunked.

So you think it should be kept completely private if it exists rather than let people know not to update as they might have an entry point on a specific FW?
but I do feel that something is clearly not right in terms of transparency and honesty in terms of exploits
At the same time you want honesty and transparency, are you joking?

You wrote that in a single post, FFS...

That in itself arouses suspicion

how do you mean, please elaborate?
 
Oh I know how hacks work,
So lets say you find an exploit on the latest FW today as a hacker/developer, what would you say is the best most logical thing to do, to benefit everyone as a whole, hackers, game developers, hacked console users? Honestly? What would YOU do?

I'm not the one getting butthurt. All I said was "don't gaslight". How hard is that?

Release it day 1, and not be a dick about it.

:D :D :-p

Gaslighting?? I had to look it up. Lol. :D

If he doubted his own sanity due to my post and you think i was manipulating him is that really my fault? Its a fucking forum post, OMG , get over yourself.

Lol, you obviously don't get hacks. Enough said.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Well what do you think Sony were thinking/doing paying people to withhold BUT NOT disclose hacks? What is their reasoning in your opinion?

Okay, is that why other consoles were doing much better in terms of punctuality of console hacks when compared to Sony devices as of late, like the Nintendo Switch and the Wii U/Wii, or even the Microsoft Xbox 360? If anything, you're the one that needs to get over yourself, as you're the one that reacted childishly in the first place, and I'm just giving you folks a taste of your own medicine.

Where? you're the one making accusations and causing shit over a post I made days ago?

You obviously did not see his other thread about psxhax.. :)

you started this mate..
gaslighting and smearing people who come up with differing takes as "conspiracy theorists" isn't a good look, mate. Just saying

Has anyone noticed he keeps changing subject as he has no real point. :D

Go back over the posts. Its funny.

lol yeah i just read whole thread and WTF!?!
 
Do you know TheFlow was only just looking for a 6.20 PS4 a month ago on twitter, probably only got one in his hands 3 weeks ago, but now he is being accused of being paid of by Sony and you are ok with that and you think that it's:

understandable as to why certain viewpoints have come to existence, and there has been annoyances here.
AND
I don't blame @antagonist for saying what s/he had to say on the matter,

AND

you also claim you are "not the one getting butthurt"

BUT
but why mention that X has been hacked, yet it has to be kept private?

But at the same time you are whinging about Other people talking about computer code you don't have. and we are all laughing at the situation. So who is really "butthurt" at the end of the day? :D

I am sorry for your loss but you are the definition of butthurt at this point, literally!

gdrive your the only one acting childish, You OVERREACTED to his response. Then have an inablity to understand what has been broken down makes no logical sense. You can keep bypassing that fact but that fact still resides,

Yea we know your full of it, Seen this was added to the post after my reply.

I have no issue giving your a taste of your own sh1t. so cut the sh1t, you disrupted this thread enough

Wow..that is a phrase and a half...in terms of punctuality of console hacks..


This is really funny on its own as it really shows your basic level of thinking. You bring up xbox360 and Switch hacks like they have any relevance to other consoles like ps4 and xbox one. Like they all would get hacked at the same time if not for the big conspiracy to hold back the 6.20 hacks. :)

I have to believe you are just trolling as nobody can actually believe that kind of thing is true.

Basically, you haven't got a compelling argument and you're just acting dumb just to troll, and yes, while we're talking about consoles getting hacked, it is worthy to mention other consoles, at least to just see how bad things have become, but then again, "scene developers" are just a bunch of "gatekeeping morons" while calling "normies" "warez mongrels". Pot calling the kettle black eh?

I'm not bypassing anything. YOU'RE the one that has clearly done that to protect bullshittery in the first place, so spare me the bullshit and don't act innocent in all of this. To be honest, people are fed up with the lies and deceit coming from Sony console hacking scenes as of late for far too long now, so don't be surprised if people don't agree with your shit

I'm just laughing at you two folks trying to accuse me of being "butthurt" when you guys still continue to try and act innocent in all of this, so if anything, you two are the truly butthurt ones, and not me. That's for sure.

Where? you're the one making accusations and causing shit over a post I made days ago?

Says the one who doesn't even have a real point to begin with himself after being called out for being condescending towards a person who just spouted a take. Okay LOL

To protect bullshittery lol,, He recognize common sense and debunked a theroy. Something you have always lacked (common sense)..

I think everyone is laughing at you lol.. I think that's for sure,.
Innocent,, WTF a fringe theory that can easily be proven to be a wrong narative.
You can try and talk shit but that has never worked for you, you can try and do shady things to the scene and people but that has never worked for you.. You can contrinuet to be the little brat you are, as that is all you have been is a little brat and a pest that had only motives to cause crap.. As its obvious here in this thread.

Says the one who doesn't even have a real point to begin with himself after being called out for being condescending towards a person who just spouted a take. Okay LOL

What points have you made, expect to show your the same dumbass that has always been gdrive.. Now i have had enough of your trolling as that is all your doing here , while your accusing others,.. Also you did not call it out.. you had to ask for help and that did not work out for you WHY? because i know who and what the hell your about and obvious as hell your just here to troll,..
