So as most of you who read the news probably know, the other day Fire30 ported the PSVita exploit from HENKaku (originally developed by xyz), and Spectre decided to build a project around this exploit. Where the original POC made you setup a python server on your PC and such, with PS4 Playground, everything works straight through your PS4's Web Browser. It was a bit of an annoyance to make everything work, especially when the exploit would crash the webkit process as soon as it was finished executing, however with some magic I made it work.

Specter stabilized and cleaned up the exploit a bit, and designed the site, however the credit for the exploit goes to Fire30 and xyz, and the original idea for PS4 Playground as well as the JuSt-ROP project all goes to CTurt. If you have anything to contribute, please feel free to fork the repository and submit a pull request.

Requirements

You will need FakeDNS to spoof manuals.playstation.net, you will also need XAMPP to run an apache host for PS4 Playground to run on. To quote the readme;

Quoted Message [3.55] PS4 Playground Released (Open-Source)
You will need fakedns. You also need to edit the dns.conf to point to the ip address of your PC (can be found in cmd/terminal by typing ipconfig/ifconfig), and modify your consoles' DNS settings to point to your PC's address. Then type the following in your terminal;

python fakedns.py -c dns.conf

You will also need to setup xampp on your computer and run Apache on port 80. For the easiest method, in /htdocs, create the '/document/en/ps4' directory and place the files from this repo in there.

When your fake dns is running and you've setup your localhost server in xampp, you can navigate to PS4 -> Settings -> User Guide. It should then show PS4 Playground.

Notes

The exploit will not run correctly all of the time. Sometimes it will stick at stage 4 or webkit will crash before the script is finished. If it doesn't work at first, keep trying until it does, it shouldn't take long.

Refreshing the page after a successful attempt or going to another page will crash webkit. Just hit OK and it will resume to the next action you wanted to perform.

The project isn't 100% complete, it's an on-going work-in-progress.
