Kxploit question

Post by fidelcastro »

only raise the question about the kernel exploit in saved games and if possible, could be ported to PSVita?

@fate6: please abstain answering stuff you have no idea about and confusing people, thanks.

There's no kernel exploits on savegames. Those are user mode exploits. Kernel exploits are found by another means, but you definitely need a user mode exploit to be able to do what's called a "privilege escalation". If you had a kernel exploit for 6.60 firmware it would most likely work on PSV's PSP emulator since it emulates 6.60 FW.

EDIT: moves topic to PSP/Security

I think not entirely sure this statement Professor, I think maybe if possible a core mode in a save, though perhaps not be entirely valid, although I have not got the skills to get to exploit it if it were so.

I opened the thread in general because I wanted to bring it more into a kind of debate

Let's clear this once and for all...
SAVEDATA EXPLOITS ARE ONLY USERMODE
That's because games are run in user mode, and only in user mode.
It is possible to port a kernel exploit to PSV, but you need a working usermode exploit too in order to run it, as m0skit0 said, it's called privilege escalation: you gain the privilege to execute code in usermode with an usermode exploit, and then you run some code that gives you the privilege to run code in kernel mode.
Got it?

if that I have always known, but also believe it is possible to attempt the direct kernel mode, either saved game or vsh, not saying it will work, but if it could be possible.

although it may be wrong.

fidel, I already told you what you have to do: learn programming. You'll understand all this better.

good, point dead.
and if, learning programcion in C, assembler and other options will understand better, I will not make excuses cheap about it .

just trying to understand some things, like this save game failure, which can be written without Deemer savegame or by jumping to kernel addresses in user mode,

nothing, continue with our pitiful existence
