Sometimes new is well forgotten old. On the last generation, PlayStation consoles closed susceptibility to Jailbreik, which has already been corrected on PS4. Digital security expert Andy Nguyen (Andy nguyen) discovered a familiar mistake, which was reported in 2020.
Brash in defense gave access to the prefix core and operating system based on Linux. The specialist noted that this is one of the first steps to a complete hacking device.
It seems that their patch was somehow rolled away when switching from FreeBSD9 to FreeBSD11.

The expert posted a vulnerability report on January 4. He separately emphasized that despite the fact that this is the same problem that he spoke about two years ago, it cannot be considered duplicate. As an argument, he called the fact that in fact PS5 at that time did not exist yet.
Colleague Nguena I joked the workshop about his skills:
Imagine that you are so good in hacking that you find mistakes in consoles that do not exist.
Digital security expert Matt Suich (Matt Suiche)
The other day Sony closed https://casinokaramba.co.uk/bonus/ the report of vulnerability and wrote out Nguyen $ 10 thousand check. He received the same amount for correcting a similar error on PS4. The specialist added that he does not want to blame the company in oversight, since often old mistakes surrender again after correction.

FreeBSD was created not on Linux, I keep in the course
After reading about Linux, I choked and thought โI missed something?"
But yes, BSD and Linux are both Open Source Unix systems, but their philosophy is different (in certain forums – hostile).
Linux allows you to take its source code for free, improve it for your needs, and then sell it, on one condition, to publish these improvements so that the Linux outfits can also apply them by making life in general all users better.
BSD does not set this condition.
Therefore, Nintendo and PlayStation use FreeBSD for their consoles, and do not re -ify the wheel creating their operating system when there are open source systems that optimized and improved this wheel for decades for decades.
Hundreds of other corporations also make, in other areas. For example, Microsoft, which for decades sold us Windows Server, and in its internal and Azure servers uses Linux (do not keep up with their Windows Server-Ah for stability and performance that enthusiasts with a โextortionโ license could achieve). And in March, Big M, began tremors towards FreeBSD.
And if we take into account that part of the improvements to BSD is inspired by Linux-A’s improvements (or taken directly, in the case of FreeBSD, which boasts of a built-in Linux emulation, like a killer of feathers, compared to OpenBSD), it becomes clear why on certain forums, ardent fanatics of BSD, as a bsen traitors. SORSA, thanks to which mega -corporations earn billions, on the work of enthusiasts, and themselves, even the typos in the documentation do not help to correct (to boast of the โbest system in the market! There are no analogues!")
Most likely the one, TheFlow0. Thanks to him, hacking PS4 on version 9 is now possible.00. Only there it does not quite work that I received the money, and merged into public access. There is a site where security experts can share vulnerabilities found by them and receive monetary rewards for this. So there they can ask the company to make information about the vulnerability of the public, and if it has already been closed in the new revision/update, then companies usually agree.
Is this a specialist who previously discovered a vulnerability to PS4 received money, and then laid out hacking into public access?:-)
