A video was shared by hackers at the GeekPwn convention in Shanghai, showing what appears to be a 4.01 PS4 Jailbreak. This is the first time a full fledged exploit is publicly showcased on a firmware higher than firmware 1.76. As of now, the only information publicly available to run a PS4 Jailbreak is for firmware 1.76. PS4 Firmware 4.01 is the latest PS4 Firmware at the time of this writing, so a Jailbreak on this firmware could be a massive breakthrough.

PS4 Jailbreak 4.01 – details In the video, the two Chinese hackers from Chaitin Tech are showcasing a PS4 on the latest firmware 4.01 running a PS4 Jailbreak. After the exploit runs, the hackers are seen starting Linux on the PS4, then launching Mario on a NES emulator. The video doesn’t show much, except that it appears the exploit’s entry point is in the web browser (as is always the case, it is safe to assume there is a webkit exploit involved). There’s not enough evidence on the video to confirm if the exploit is real or not.

Time to get a ps4 then

very inresting stuff, i hope this spreads more into none first world countries and replaces PCs there

If this thing gets jail broken it's going to go on and outsell the ps2. Think of all the countries where the only option for gamers is a pc and pirating their games for financial reasons. Sales would be insane.

Interesting, Vita hacked just a couple of months ago and now the PS4 already opened up, expect a software update in the next couple of days for the PS4 to roll out to shut down this exploit, if anyone has any interest in modding their console best to skip updating your system for the next few weeks until we find out more about this.

Now all we need from Sony is confirmation that this jailbreak is real.

You already got it, fw 4.05 is up

So you can now play linux games on your PS4 :p

Playing games from the best console of all time on the best current gen console. Respect.

Hehe.... thats exactly what I was exoecting as confirmation. 

but wasn't this the firmware that was released 2/3 days ago? or is this a new one?
