OpenWRT PPPwn

OpenWRT install of PPPwn C++ version by xfangfang https://github.com/xfangfang/PPPwn_cpp

Install

1. Place the goldhen.bin from a goldhen 2.4b17 and up release on the root of a usb drive formatted in exfat or fat32 https://github.com/GoldHEN/GoldHEN/releases
2. Plug the USB drive into your PS4
3. SSH into your OpenWRT router
4. Run for:

Raspberry Pi build:

wget -q -O - https://github.com/FalsePhilosopher/PPPwnWRT/raw/main/scripts/RPi.sh | sh

MIPS build

wget -q -O - https://github.com/FalsePhilosopher/PPPwnWRT/raw/main/scripts/MIPS.sh | sh

Cortex A7 build

wget -q -O - https://github.com/FalsePhilosopher/PPPwnWRT/raw/main/scripts/CortexA7.sh | sh

64 bit build

wget -q -O - https://github.com/FalsePhilosopher/PPPwnWRT/raw/main/scripts/x64.sh | sh

For the record: It is not actually a good idea to make a habit of wget $(random_script_from_the_internets) | sh" Always read the source of what you run before you run it.

Your interfaces are now displayed for you to replace INTERFACE in step 5 with your ethernet interface of choice.

5. Edit /etc/pppwnwrt/pppwnwrt.sh script

For 9.00

pppwn -i INTERFACE --fw 900 -s1 "/etc/pppwnwrt/stage1_900.bin" -s2 "/etc/pppwnwrt/stage2.bin" -a

For 11.00

pppwn -i INTERFACE --fw 1100 -s1 "/etc/pppwnwrt/stage1_1100.bin" -s2 "/etc/pppwnwrt/stage2.bin" -a

(If you're low on space, you can remove unneeded stage1.bin file)

6. Enable auto-start in OpenWRT

• /etc/init.d/pppwnwrt enable
• /etc/init.d/pppwnwrt start
• top -d 1 | grep pppwn to ensure pppwn is running

7. On your PS4:

• Go to Settings and then Network
• Select Set Up Internet connection and choose Use a LAN Cable
• Choose Custom setup and choose PPPoE for IP Address Settings
• Enter anything for PPPoE User ID and PPPoE Password
• Choose Automatic for DNS Settings and MTU Settings
• Choose Do Not Use for Proxy Server
• Choose Test Internet Connection
• Wait until PPPwned message appears
• Head back to Set Up Internet connection and change to your normal internet settings or turn off internet connection

From now on, your PS4 will be jailbroken everytime it is powered on, as long as it's connected to the router. Unfortunately, the script does not have it's output, so the only ways to determine if it's injecting a payload is by looking for Cannot set up internet connection message, 'loading symbols' on the bottom of What's new app, or choppy audio. Keep in mind, that script will run endlessly, so it will try to root your console even when it's already rooted. To prevent that, script waits 60 seconds after successful jailbreak, so you have time to turn off internet connection or change from PPPoE to your usual internet settings. You don't need to do the internet connection set up again, just press Test Internet Connection after changing back to PPPoE, or if already set up, wait until PPPwned message appears. The custom version of stage2 first looks for the payload in the root directory of the USB drive, and if found, it is copied to the internal HDD at this path: /data/GoldHEN/payloads/goldhen.bin. The internal payload is then loaded and is no longer needed on the external USB drive. You can remove the usb drive from your ps4 after it has been run the first time and you won't need it again.

Kill Script

Comes with a kill script in /root that used Modded Warfare's kill script as a template, but was modified to work with this setup. The original script used this resource as a template.

WPS Button Exploit Trigger

1. Install kmod-button-hotplug opkg install kmod-button-hotplug
2. Create a file called wps in /etc/hotplug.d/button/ with the contents below.

source /lib/functions.sh

do_button () {
    local button
    local action
    local handler
    local min
    local max

    config_get button "${1}" button
    config_get action "${1}" action
    config_get handler "${1}" handler
    config_get min "${1}" min
    config_get max "${1}" max

    [ "${ACTION}" = "${action}" -a "${BUTTON}" = "${button}" -a -n "${handler}" ] && {
        [ -z "${min}" -o -z "${max}" ] && eval ${handler}
        [ -n "${min}" -a -n "${max}" ] && {
            [ "${min}" -le "${SEEN}" -a "${max}" -ge "${SEEN}" ] && eval ${handler}
        }
    }
}

config_load system
config_foreach do_button button
EOF

uci add system button
uci set system.@button[-1].button="wps"
uci set system.@button[-1].action="released"
uci set system.@button[-1].handler="pppwn --interface INTERFACE --fw 900 --stage1 "/etc/pppwnwrt/stage1.bin" --stage2 "/etc/pppwnwrt/stage2.bin" --auto-retry"
uci set system.@button[-1].min="0"
uci set system.@button[-1].max="2"
uci add system button
uci set system.@button[-1].button="wps"
uci set system.@button[-1].action="released"
uci set system.@button[-1].handler="/etc/rc.button/wps"
uci set system.@button[-1].min="3"
uci set system.@button[-1].max="10"
uci commit system

Be sure to put the proper interface/FW in the handler line.

This will trigger pppwn to run when pressed for less then 2 seconds and when pressed for 3-10 seconds will trigger the stock wps functionality. Triggering your LED to turn on and off during the payload is specific to your router which is why it was left out of this config. If you set up auto-start, disable it by running /etc/init.d/pppwnwrt disable and /etc/init.d/pppwnwrt stop Further resources with LED examples can be found here https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/hardware/hardware.button

Manual Install

1. git clone sistro's pppwn repo and build pppwn S1 and S2 PL's for your FW https://github.com/SiSTR0/PPPwn
2. Put the S1 and S2 PL's in a dir name pppwnwrt and scp or sftp the dir to /etc
3. git clone and build pppwn_cpp or pull from their nightly build server Repo: https://github.com/xfangfang/PPPwn_cpp Nightly build server: https://nightly.link/xfangfang/PPPwn_cpp/workflows/ci.yaml/main?status=completed
4. scp or sftp the executable to /bin
5. Install libpcap1
6. Run pppwn

DD-WRT Install

DD-WRT uses a different package manager and pcap package, so the OpenWRT install script above will not work for DD-WRT.

1. Follow the manual install method to step 4
2. Install libpcap ipkg install libpcap
3. Run pppwn
