PS4 PSXHAX.com provides more fake PS4 news (They want your pageclicks for purposely misleading you)

Well this is nothing new but is very sad and well i figure I needed to speak on it a bit, since i get this questions about these type of claims often,, Scene sites are promoting FAKE NEWS left and right., It really should tell the user who is the creditable news sources in this scene and who is not. Why is psx-place.com not reporting the latest PS4 "progress" about 4.50 PS4 LINUX that has spewed out these fake news sites mainpage? Well, the simple answer is WE DO NOT REPORT FAKE NEWS, so that would be the main reason as there is no legitimacy to the claims of a PS4 4.50 Linux Hack. There is not much news for the end user on PS4 hacking,most of things stay private until they are ready or the time is right . Did you know about other groundbreaking exploits in advance or did they just appear?

Its seems like every month or so there is a new "holy grail" claim posted there and it attracts alot of clicks (there is your motive), Has anything come out of these past claims? No, because they are from horrible sources and anyone that has been in the community knows facts do not add up or there is simply no facts but just some user(s) posting random junk. but as long as you can get a title off it and write some BS along with it, then well you have the latest PS4 fake news story. Right now anyone could write some BS write up about PS4 hacking and it will posted it there on the mainpage and formatted by the site admin himself with various site links added and such.

The person with these claims is not the most trustworthy person (racer0018) as wololo.net has pointed out with the first initial claim of that hack was "detailed" on PSXHAX , Racer0018 has NEVER been considered a developer or hacker and was in the PS3 Community for awhile, so now this guys is going to pull a PS4 exploit out of his butt (i dnn't see an exploit but something dropping from that image above).. I highly doubt that to be the case.Infact the facts do not add up and someone with as many trust issues as both PSXHAX and racer0018 have in the community, safe to say this yet another troll attempt they are doing on the scene.​

We have a bad source on the information, with claims and BS wrapped in those claims and we have a dishonest scene site who is promoting this claim in PSXHAX (aka PS3news aka PS4news) So no real facts , no details and comes from this untrusted source.​

Already it seems like they are preparing the delivery of disappointment with news that now 4.50 release. They chose to say it works on the beta 4.50 (with no proof) so they could then claimed Sony patched it later. A real hacker would not even talk about something until 4.50 was already public,
​

Quotes via Racer0018 (just prior to 4.50 official release)

We have been working hard to bring this to you, I have read a lot or what people are saying and we are working on this and will get it out as soon as we can. As of right now we think it's ready but we are waiting for the public 4.50 to come out before we move forward. That is the end game, will it be there when they release it?

If it isn't we have found something else in lower firmware that shows a lot of promise. I'll have @kane1 post the firmware version once it's confirmed for sure. If they botch 4.50 we are hoping that we can offer 2 things, one is being able to install beta on any system and also releasing it for a lower firmware for the ones that have stayed on it.

From last nights talk with the group, they have asked me to make the video and post it online, I have said no i don't want to because of all the heat I'm getting from people of the scene so @kane1 will be doing this, he has 3 systems and they cover each one, he has a ps4 pro, ps4 launch and a ps4 slim. So he has us covered. Thanks all and happy testing.

This whole idea that a hack on lower firmware is good for the PS4 community is funny as well. ITS A VERY SMALL NUMBER OF PEOPLE that will stay on lower firmwares and even if you are in that group you wont get much out of it . WHY? because it will be a ghost town!!!!! you think certain scenes are dead, a firmware that a couple hundred even thousand (which is too much to say honestly) is not going to be any good for the PS4 community in terms of launching what the PSP / PS3 / Vita / PlayStation TV has done with hacks that originate on the current firmware at that time. the hacks for those other systems did not come on a previous firmware they originated on the latest firmwares. Which is a huge difference, 4.0X is no different then 1.76 right now. If majority of devs / people can't easily reach that firmware then development will be very slooooooowwwww. Has there been an explosion on 1.76? So what would make 4.0x different?​

I don't see much of this but some tired excuses of why they could not do it, Likely the claim will be Sony patched it ing 4.50 or they will blame it on the community not believing them or something dumb.

Fake PS4 news is nothing new and seems that PSXHAX is the catalyst in the scene in promoting these scams, Here is some past articles we have done on the shady world of PS4 Hacking news:

• WARNING - - - PS4 2.50 CFW Claims

This story here was a fake dev, seeking donations They (psxhax) frontpage this without checking into at all and from a random no name member, who later they banned and removed the link, but it spread like wildfire because of them promoting this scam (and also gave the guy dev status as well then, so you can't trust who these guys label as developers). Also, here was a story and view from wololo.net also giving a bit of warning on this same subject ​

• PS4 Hacks & Exploits in Relation to Click-Bait

The Place that gives you news you can trust PSX-Place.com

Update: They have said it does not work on 4.50, now that is shocking (well not really, as they were putting that thought out there before 4.50 went live). ​

 

I am not a fan of drama in the scene, first and foremost, but sometimes things need to said. I know and see the shadiness, i have big platforms to speak my mind and that is wht I am going to do when i see shadiness done and honestly things like this, its only a matter of time before a community gets scammed by one of these stunts and it almost happeded with 2.50 CFW claims they had and if i recall those guys were seeking donations to start.

So its not drama as much as my duty i feel to render my opinion.

Don't feel offended. It's just observation, not accusation.
And I never liked ps2nfo.com

 

Look at the VIP membership PLEASE NO ONE BE SO STUPID TO BUY THIS:

VIP Membership? really? damn, that sucks.

 

Don't feel offended. It's just observation, not accusation.
And I never liked ps2nfo.com

Takes more then that to offend me (so i dont feel offended ), but i just wanted to explain my thoughts here as i do not like drama , but i also do not like people being taking advantage of others, who do not know and trust news sites to be honst. So just saying sometimes one has to get hands dirty to clean up things or put some true awareness out.

Just take the 2.50 CFW (CEX/DEX) method they posted and put right up on the mainpage, made the guy a developer and everything back then and all he was doing is trying to extract some donations..

 

The picture had me laughing pretty hard, anyone with a brain stem knows where to get PSX hacking news from. psx-place/psx-scene/dashhacks has been my sources for years. Now everybody is here so this is the best place

 

Well not surprising PSXHAX needed to silence me on his forum : All i did was post the new site logo (saying psxhax produces more poop), actually others said much worse things. . Oh well what a lost lol,. but i find it quite humorous that he is saying that @Grimm is GaryOPA .. LOL that is a bit of stretch to say the least lol .

You are no longer welcomed here until you come clean about Grimm... howbow dah?

GaryOPA litters his site with ads and well do you see a single ads here and please tell me the last time you seen one here.. Yea i think enough is said there but if you want to read his ridiculous claims (he really likes the pageclicks) click the link on Grimms name in the quote and check it out. You can see how off the wall and messed the guy really is. Seems he was one of GaryOPA pals back in the day and he is hurt he is not in the fold anymore. His words say alot in his pathetic attempt to try and dis-credit me, but good thing is i get a good laugh out of it and i think my work over the years speaks for it self and HIS work speaks for it self and i think people know who to trust.

Here is the latest "news"
--------------------------------------
From Racer

Since our last update and with the release of the new PS4 4.50 Firmware that came out and has been downloaded, i can tell you right now that the code that we have doesn't work with this firmware.

We are looking into the firmware more to see if it is something that we can change on our end and get it to work. What i do know is that, i downloaded it onto to my ps4 pro that wasn't on 4.50 beta and it doesn't work. It wont boot linux or anything else. I have posted the findings on the private site and we are going to look into why and then @kane1 can post up later what we found with it.

There are a couple of choices for everyone here:

We can release what we have and the people that are on 4.50 beta can use the software. Maybe there will be some more devs out there that will be able to download the stuff and improve on it and then maybe add to it. There are also a lot of other firmware out there that does have exploits and therefore they might be able to use some of what we did and then maybe port it to other firmware and then people can get the best of that.

Or we can keep it to us and we are working on 4.05 and i think that we have gotten somewhere with that, now to be honest i have no idea how long it will take. It could be a few weeks or it could be a few months or maybe just maybe never. I do know that from the site there is something there and with the help of another "group" we have been working on it. So we are working with another group with this one.

Everyone has to understand that we didnt reinvent the wheel, there is a lot of work that is already out on the ps4, fail0verflow has done some great work with linux, so we were able to use that as a stepping stone, we just changed a couple of things and used their base for the the linux part of ours. Why work to make new when you can make their hard work work for us. The loader is ours tho, Im sure that someone will copy it and then make their own. That is what is great about testing, I mean lets face it, there are somethings that are the same about ps3 cfw. So we welcome it with our stuff.

I have added my vote to the private site and said that i think that we should release what we have now and then let people play around with it and maybe use some of it to help whatever they are working on right now. With the release of it, sony will get to see a lot of how we attack the ps4 and i think that they will find a way to block it on newer firmware for sure. But when a door is closed, a window is opened. I guess post up and let us know what you all are thinking and then I'll post the link in the private site and then we will be able to know more about what testers are thinking.

Thanks all and happy testing.

WHAT A SHOCKER !!!!!!!!!!!!!
They claim its not working on 4.50 ..

 

this coming from a site that claimed I had given birth to an alien. first of all, this is @bitsbubba 's and my baby we're talking about. I admit he looks a little weird, but he's not an alien!

 

Just like the PS3 news

I give a CFW warning about a Brick of a CFW they were reporting
http://psx-scene.com/forums/content...n=Feed:+psgroovecom+(PSX+Scene+-+Latest+News)


to this day they have the links still on the website with no warning. They were fully aware that this firmware was dangerous.

that might be the cfw I was thinking of. someone just spliced together pieces of different cfw and released it. I got two negative rep bars for pointing that out to them. in fact, I looked at the firmware, and I saw pieces of habib's firmware inside. they didn't even bother removing the habib folder as a scannable folder for pkg files. @habib and I attacked the site for that which lead to the two negative rep bars. I haven't posted since. those were like my only posts on ps3news.

They had a number of brickware they promoted there during that time. I doubtt it was that one if it had habibs folder. This was a CEX/DEX type of firmware like rebug's or PS3Ita's, but not done with the expertise those guys have.

 

I think they had taken parts of his firmware along with parts from other firmwares and just slapped them together.. they did something to one or more of the loaders which caused a brick.. I took a printscreen of the habib folder and pasted it in the thread. I think my handle was pinky-winky since pinky had been taken on their site.

 

Look at what the scumbag says (PSXHAX)

The fact that racer is making psxhax look bad though....​

​

Nobody cares... :ROFLMAO:

Think Ashley Madison for a moment: the more buzz and drama that surrounds a site, the more people are driven to check it out.

So we're going to keep on posting whatever the hell we feel like, get other sites constantly talking about what's going on here and before you know it their audience becomes ours

SmashLord0 said: ↑

Can someone explain why racer is getting all this hate and crap?​

Some are jelly of their PS4 Linux claims, others are clueless which oldskool devs are behind the scene in the group and the rest are attention-seekers with nothing better to do.

Terry78 said: ↑

Well to be fair, this site has very low credibility to begin with so not much harm is done. PSXHAX the person can vouch for racer0018 and that they are legit from the PS3 scene and now maybe the PS4... or PSXHAX (person and site) become absolved of all credibility forever.​

Again, nobody cares about credibility here... this is a fun project site and that's it.

 

is this site run by Barron Trump? This racer0018 guy doesn't even TALK like a dev!! honestly when some of you guys give me instructions or I see you posting codes/scripts and what not with each other ...my ass has to go straight to PSDEVWIKI ! because I have no clue and it takes me a bit to figure it out! or ask a billion questions

this guy doesn't seem to use ANY jargon that even gives an indication that he even knows how to ftp an eboot ....much less develop anything other that a peanut butter and jelly sandwich...and some how i'd think he'd find a way to jack that all up by putting an onion in it.

This guy is just the definition of a soup sandwich....hes a complete mess.

 

Look at what the scumbag says (PSXHAX)

lol. racer was on ps3hax. I believe he operated a downgrade service. just one problem - he often didn't return consoles.

 

They only copy chats from twitter and never provide links for files
no pictures or videos .... and they write unkown language of PS4 Hacking

 

Unfortunately it is not the only one, even the French portal logic-sunrise.com putting on a copy paste of news without any reliable source

 

This is my favourite PSX-Place thread

 

Very good article title say everything.

I knew it was bullshit, that was the reason I have not posted anything about this crap.

 

(...) the more buzz and drama that surrounds a site, the more people are driven to check it out.

Unfortunately, he have little right - this is how mass behaviour works. Average John Doe cannot judge what is trustworthy and what is obvious lie. He have almost zero IT knowledge and have problems with reading with understanding. He needs articles/news explaining everything few times at level of his language. What happening when he see a "site war"? He got new www to check news and cannot judge himself which telling truth, he just got another place to check the news and if he find that those other community fit to him better, he jump.

Logic Sunrise I honestly hate how they source.

It was PS3News he was on, he is listed as a bad downgrader on PS3HaX.
