That means EVERY PS2 from 1.90 ROMVER 50k model up to the TV can be exploited by scrolling to an MC-Icon and "back out" of the menu. | |||
=== Opentuna === | |||
an open source version of fortuna. supports almost all PS2 models, from the SCPH-18000 to the very last. This exploit hasn't been ported to the 10k and 15k models, it proved to be quite challenging to do so, probably related to the fact that these models does not have compressed OSDSYS programs. Different files are needed depending on the console version. | |||
=== | === Requirements === | ||
*A PS2 Memory Card | |||
*A way to transfer files to the Memory Card (one time setup) | |||
*Making sure the hacked icon is displayed first (OSDSYS icon order is based on date) | |||
Fortuna | === The exploit === | ||
Fortuna/Opentuna exploit a vulnerability on the RLE decompression routine used for memory card icon textures, allowing to copy raw executables to protected area on ram, and achieving execution when going back to main menu. Alex Párrado, creator of Opentuna, left a [https://www.psx-place.com/#tab_1710732308 technicall write-up on how it works] | |||
TnA writes | TnA writes it is a bit similar to this bug: | ||
"There seems to be either an issue in FMCB/FHDB's Payload, or the OSDSYS has a fault which can cause code-injection via text-strings which use opcodes or some instructions. | |||
I can get it to freeze, with some funky OSDSYS-Item-Names... I haven't tested however, if this also happens with some weird mc-save-name-strings (not the folder-name on MC, but the actual shown name in the OSDSYS), without FMCB... | |||
Why? The idea was a 'kick-start'-icon which has the weird name and starts an ELF from MC. The only issue is, that - if it works - it would be immediately triggered, once the name is parsed." | |||
See [https://www.ps2-home.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=8542]. | |||
=== | === Oddities === | ||
Fortuna/Opentuna exploit fails if the console is rendering some japanese characters, either from a save file or by setting the console to Japanese language. | |||
During late test stages of Opentuna, it was found that if the hack is triggered from the Browser 2.0, the console stops recognizing the memory card untill you shit it down completely | |||
When the OSDSYS parses the hacked icon, any save folder using built-in icons (eg: "your system configuration") will stop getting rendered, showing no icon 3d model, like the exploit icon | |||
=== | === FreeDVDBoot === | ||
An exploit released in 2020 by CTurt, which exploits the DVD Video Player and allows the execution of code (wLaunchElf in the pre-built ISOs). Currently supports all slim consoles, including the ones that don't support FMCB. | |||
=== ESR Vulnerability === | |||
Vulnerability to bypass PS2 disc reader anticopy protection system. | |||
Allows to run burnt PS2 CD/DVD on a PS2 without modchip. It is needed to have FreeMCBoot/FreeHDBoot, Fortuna or SwapMagic in order to launch ESR. | |||
It does not yield code-execution, but once you have the ability to load code, you can access content on burned (Video-)DVDs, which have DVD-Video-content. This vulnerability is used in different apps like ESR or SMS and in varying 'formats' like ESR-Discs or simple Video-DVDs with extra-content. | |||
