YADE (Yet Another DVD Exploit)​

About How to check DVD Player version

• A PlayStation 2 DVD exploit that leverages a vulnerability in the DVD player to execute custom code.
  
  
  Currently for DVD Player v3.00E/A/U/J only.​
  
  Overview
  
  YADE is a proof-of-concept exploit for the PlayStation 2 that uses a malformed DVD-Video disc structure to gain code execution. The exploit targets the PS2's DVD player firmware and allows loading custom ELF binaries.
  
  Technical Details
  
  The exploit works by:
  
  1. Creating a malformed DVD-Video structure with specially crafted PGC (Program Chain) data
  2. Triggering a buffer overflow in the PS2 DVD player firmware
  3. Redirecting execution to custom code loaded from the disc
  4. Loading and executing a custom ELF binary

Great news! It has been tested and works successfully! This means that any ps2 with a 3.0 dvd player will no longer need to rely on any other vulnerabilities to directly execute the elf file.
