It’s reasonably easy to understand since the PS2 did not have all of the modern security mechanisms that exist on modern consoles. The Yabasic vulnerabilities involved are “old school” buffer/integer overflows that Cturt describes in a detailed writeup. CTurt has written a tool that lets one convert a payload into a matching Yabasic piece of code that you load through Yabasic. The Yabasic exploit relies on some vulnerabilities in the Yabasic interpreter. If you own a PS2 that you bought new in Europe, it is likely you have one of those Demo discs, and that you can run Yabasic. The released exploit leverages Yabasic, a BASIC interpreter that ship with the PS2 on Demo discs, some of which were directly released with new consoles in the PAL region.
It’s also compatible with Slim consoles, which is not the case* of the popular FreeMcboot exploit. Not so many people might still be interested in hacking the almost-20-year old console, but this kind of release is always interesting, at least from the technical aspect. added new BREXEc-SYTEM folder icon that match new FMCB design by JNABK.Hacker CTurt, known for the very first publicly disclosed PS4 kernel exploit back in 2016, dropped a new exploit on the scene yesterday.
