ps5-payload-sdk

This is an SDK for developing payloads targeted at exploited PS5s running an ELF loader, e.g., ps5-payload-elfldr, the BD-J ps5-payload-loader, or the webkit approached from Specter. Several artifacts in this repository originate from the PS5SDK project.

Prerequisites

On Debian-flavored operating systems, you can invoke the following command to install dependencies used by the SDK.

john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/sdk$ sudo apt-get install bash clang-15 lld-15 # required
john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/sdk$ sudo apt-get install socat cmake meson pkg-config # optional

If you are using Fedora, you can install dependencies as follows (tested with version 41):

john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/sdk$ sudo dnf install bash llvm-devel clang lld # required
john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/sdk$ sudo dnf install socat cmake meson pkg-config # optional

Quick-start

To download and install a binary distribution for GNU/Linux:

john@localhost:tmp$ wget https://github.com/ps5-payload-dev/sdk/releases/latest/download/ps5-payload-sdk.zip
john@localhost:tmp$ sudo unzip -d /opt ps5-payload-sdk.zip

Building

john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/sdk$ make
john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/sdk$ make DESTDIR=/opt/ps5-payload-sdk install
john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/sdk$ export PS5_PAYLOAD_SDK=/opt/ps5-payload-sdk
john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/sdk$ ./libcxx.sh # fetch, build, and install libcxx

Usage

john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/sdk$ export PS5_PAYLOAD_SDK=/opt/ps5-payload-sdk
john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/sdk$ make -C samples/hello_world
john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/sdk$ export PS5_HOST=ps5; export PS5_PORT=9021
john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/sdk$ make -C samples/hello_world test

Adding new SCE Libs

If you have decrypted sprx files that you would like to interact with, you can build stubs for them as follows:

john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/sdk$ sudo apt-get install wget python3 python3-pyelftools
john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/sdk$ ln -s /path/to/sprx/libSceXYZ.sprx sce_stubs/libSceXYZ.sprx
john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/sdk$ make -C sce_stubs stubs
john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/sdk$ make DESTDIR=/opt/ps5-payload-sdk install

Reporting Bugs

If you encounter problems with the SDK, please file a github issue. If you plan on sending pull requests which affect more than a few lines of code, please file an issue before you start to work on you changes. This will allow us to discuss the solution properly before you commit time and effort.
