Translation: We got all (symmetric) ps5 root keys. They can all be obtained from software - including per-console root key, if you look hard enough!

The guy is still active and still a master.

Now the real challenge is still finding a PS5 in stock!

Doesn't rootkey mean that the console is completly open now?

Hacking Team fail0verflow hints at PS5 security breach Rumor - Tech

The hacking team fail0verflow which gained popularity for initially hacking the PS3 system for the first time has tweeted after a long silence: From the screenshot it seems related to PS5 update files. There isn't much else to report for now, but I think it's worth posting a thread about it...

Does this mean games are going to get hacked the way they were with ps3? Because that was horrible

Uh oh.

yep. I've been in hacked lobbies and it blows.
This is what can be looked forward to.
Thanks hackers. /s

I hope that Sony can fix this mess. The Last thing we need is hackers on PSN.

Now imagine miners using PS5s to mine for fedora assets and drive resale pricing even higher

Would be cool to back up my disk games to the hard drive and for a ps2/3 emulator.

The PS4 never got hacked this way? Interesting.

Wait, is this different from the one of a few days ago? Because I remember that someone here told that most what they could do with that one was to poke around to find an entry. Is this related to that, or is this other person/group? Because this one sounds more concrete/serious.

There are also asymmetric keys. That is they key used for signing, in other words, the keys needed to execute your own code on the system. To be able to hack games like many fears here, you need to be able to modify the code, and the PS5 will still reject modified code.

What the symmetric keys give you is an insight into the code, perhaps letting you find an exploit.

In the other thread, or something in the thread which lead me to it, it said something similar happened on the PS4 but Sony were given time by this person to fix it before they made it generally available. Sony also paid a bounty for it or something. So yeah, maybe not as bad as it first appears?
