The hack only works on consoles running the PS4’s 4.05 firmware. The 4.05 firmware dates back to 2016 and was patched with firmware 4.06.
However, since the exploit was released in November, there's been a lot of activity and support from hackers.
What is possible right now :
Linux support
Full root access to the system via FTP
PS4HEN - a homebrew enabler
Package files can be installed on the PS4
Tools to decrypt games, which can then be re-packaged and installed on compromised consoles.
Install PS2 iso's in PS4. PlayStation 2 emulation is a system-level feature that PS2 Classics downloads tap into, and features a number of interesting features - including a 4x resolution boost and improved performance compared to the same code running on original hardware.
