Please don’t take this or the replies as justification to personally attack anyone, this is mostly just a consequence of the times we’re in. It just makes me a bit sad and the situation is unfortunate.
LLMs fracturing the console research space feels like a good litmus test of where we're at lmao. The future is slop and the fun is dead.
But r/blackops2 said devkits/testkits have special magic that makes them impossible to ban so this can't be true

hope it helps for linux!

Incredible talk on hacking the Xbox One security processor youtube.com/watch?v=FTFn4UZs…
Played @tihmstar's custom beatsaber song, 10/10 would play again
Some people already know this, but thought I'd mention here too... unfortunately basically all of my low fw PS5s got stolen recently, so I'm not sure what my future in console research will look like. Replacing this stuff might be too be difficult & expensive to be worth it :(

My @dayzerosec co-host zi and I are giving our 1st training @ hardwear.io with a focus on attacking security hypervisors! Trainings are something we've wanted to do for a while.
Take a look and share to those who would be interested :)

We have a training by @SpecterDev & Zi on Attacking Hypervisors From KVM to Mobile Security Platforms hardwear.io/usa-2025/trainin…
I've published a write-up on reversing and analyzing Samsung's H-Arx hypervisor architecture for Exynos devices, which has had a lot of changes in recent years and pretty interesting design. Hope you all enjoy :)

Our newest research project is finally public! We can load malicious microcode on Zen1-Zen4 CPUs!
RE: byepervisor
do people care enough about not wanting to use rest mode and resume to switch the primary exploit for byepervisor to the jump table one? its higher maintenance and possibly slightly less stable but would be slightly more convenient to run I guess

I've published the repo for Byepervisor (we love named vulns out here). Contains exploit implementation for two PS5 hypervisor bugs for 2.xx and lower. Slides from the talk + vod should hopefully be published soon.

The PS5's hypervisor has kept the system secure for years—now, vulnerabilities are being revealed. What does this mean for gamers? 🕵️♂️🚨

There are a few ways on PS5 to defeat HV. One of methods that I've found was related to APIC: struct apic_ops is located in RW segment of kernel data. With KRW you can overwrite a function pointer inside it like xapic_mode and get into ROP, for example (just need to bypass CFI).
