Libtiff Exploit Found in Firmware 5.50

Libtiff Exploit Found in Firmware 5.50

Update: Seems this is an older tiff that wololo posted. This got out of hand, information we thought was new isn’t really and this won’t lead to an exploit its just a crash. Plain and simple. We apologise for this. It seems the source of this libtiff crash got it wrong and well…we were caught unaware. Comments have been closed as to not add further fuel to the fire. Noob81 puts it best on the Dark-Alex forums about this

Things are certainly getting interesting as of late… Recent exploits which lead to chickHEN and now PSP developer wololo has found another. This time its a Libtiff Exploit for Firmware 5.50. Here’s some video proof.





So what does this mean? Well it *could* lead to another ChickHEN for 5.50 or even a way to downgrade from Firmware 5.50 to 5.03 so users can run ChickHEN on their PSP’s. We’ll just have to wait and see what comes of this. Care to try this yourself? Download below, put the files in your PSP/PHOTO folder and view. See if it crashes your PSP 5.50 Firmware.

    Can anyone on firmware 5.50 confirm this works, I’m not updating to 5.50 just to try it :) I smell firmware update 5.51 on its way.

  • psp 5.50

    i read this firts of you guys is a crash its no good notice!

  • Lucid

    you know all great and all but not proof enough why not restart the psp and show us the system info agian
    could easly pull that trick my self :P

    • Lucid

      well i meen the download is there and all but still :P (really wish there was a edit button)

  • Lucid

    becuase theres a Vaulnerability in the ChickenHen Files that allows you to change the Firm name and a few other fun things :) *hint*

    • http://it-ride.blogspot.com/ Felix

      I wouldn’t say it’s a vulnerability. Plus, wololo is a great developer and he wouldn’t post a lie. He has a background in libTiff exploits.

      • Lucid

        :P with out a edit button i could change any thing this was all posted before i looked in to the vid further and wasnt saying he was lieing was just asking for a bit more proof was all :)

  • AJ

    I already had enugh and more trouble trying to load ChickHEN in my 5.03…im nt gonna try this until it works!! :)

  • Tumadre

    i pro on my psp with OFW 5.50 and yes i crash ^_^

  • PsPLover

    Instead of developing another exploit why the developer develop CFW to end up trying luck of executing HEN after a total reboot process.

    • Jhazky

      Don’t be greedy, this gives hope to those people with OFW 5.50.

  • PSPLordOfTerror

    Quote from PSPFan: “Can anyone on firmware 5.50 confirm this works, I’m not updating to 5.50 just to try it ”

    I’m quite sure it works, I myself have 5.50 firmware. I made a new folder, placed both images in it and scrolled down to the last tiff and…. poof! crashed :D

  • Toocoolgemini

    idiots..
    its for users stuck on 5.50/..

    put on sm useful comments atleast

  • Hummer

    for all of you noobs do not update to 5.50! This is for people who are stuck on 5.50.

  • Hummer

    by the way good job

  • n00b81

    Oh gosh :) This is spreading like crazy.. and its not good :P

    This is _NOT_ and exploit, just a crash (for now) Also, we aren’t sure if wololo was even the one who found this.. someone just uploaded these files with his name on it.

    This will most likely not lead to anything.

  • Th3Scr4mBL3D

    Hi, Is it possible that somebody will update this to run home brew apps and iso?
    This exploit works on my psp, and it crashes. Does this mean that my motherboard can run custom firmware?

    Please don’t flame, I’m new here and don’t know as lot as you guys.
    Thanks in Advance.

    • Jhazky

      It said that it could lead to another ChickHEN or downgrader so there’s a possibility but there’s also a possibility that it will not happen. About your motherboard, if you specify what kind of PSP you have, maybe we could tell if it can be installed with CFW, But since you said that you tried the exploit, I assume that you have a 5.50 OFW and sad to say that even if your motherboard is compatible with CFW, there’s no way to install as of now a CFW on PSPs with 5.50 OFW.

      • Th3Scr4mBL3D

        Thanks a lot Jhazky. I appreciate your help!
        My PSP is a New PSP Slim & Lite. Anyway, Hope there come a way to downgrade 5.50 OFW or a way to run home brew and iso on it :)
        Thank you once again.

  • http://pspslimhack jp

  • PSPLordOfTerror

    You can’t downgrade 5.50 yet… Read the two very small paragraphs at the top of this page for all the info related to this exploit.

    Yes, the downloaded file did crash my PSP. After I copied the files into my Photos folder, I opened it and there… I hope that this thing would lead to something big soon… Ü

    • hurley

      hmmm i’m a very noob psp user.. wat do you mean by “crash” wat happend?

  • psp 5.50

    yes! sir..

  • LitTleJ

    HELLO!!!! YOU HAVENT FINISHED WITH THE 5.03 HEN —- WE STILL DON’T HAVE AN ISO/CSO SUPPORT.DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS.MAKE AN ISO SUPPORT!!!!!!

    • Th3Scr4mBL3D

      I don’t think he waste his time! I don’t have 5.03 but 5.50 And I love he works on it – Now us with 5.50 can get a piece of the cake too!

    • Jhazky

      You’re a complete ignorant. Davee don’t have any plans adding ISO/CSO support. It’s not a waste of time either because there’s a lot of PSPs out there with 5.50 OFW. If someone aside from Davee work out with this, there’s a chance that the next HEN will have an ISO/CSO support. Think about that.

  • striker

    Nice Background

  • http://myspace.com/dasher2300 dylan hunt

    so what exactly does this crash do??? im new to the psp and i have ver5.50 im very firmiler with roms and emulators so does this crash reset shit or what? does it install hen?

    • Jhazky

      As of now, nothing yet. It says it could lead to another HEN.

  • phoenix1414

    dylan all this does for now is crash the psp. it may or may not lead to other things, but thats all it is now.

    • PK

      I am also new to PSP. Does crashing means you lose ur PSP?

      • Jhazky

        No. You don’t lose your PSP.

  • stepdomeraph

    @ dylan hunt,
    this is a way for a hack firmware to penetrate the psp!

  • lalobling

    anyone saw that pic of megan fox damn she look good

  • GOODBYE

    • SpAM_CAN

      Its a bloody games console. Learn to use caps PROPERLY, how to spell, now get a life.

  • stepdomeraph

    @goodbye,
    chickHEN homebrew works only on 5.03 ofw not 5.50 ofw lolz!

  • PK

    How can i know which motherboard i have. I have a black PSP3003.

  • Jhazky

    It’s probably TA-90v2.

  • psp 5.50

    yes sir!

  • Andrey

    I have a PSP 3004 black with 5.50 and it works. If you put both of them.. If I only put one of the files it doesn’t evne show it up, i mean “unsupported data” or something like that.. If you put both it works, it crashes the psp. I want HEN faster! I hope this exploit goes to something big.

  • rasim

    i have psp 3003 w/ofw 5.50
    is it downgradble ? and could have cfw, m33 ?

  • PK(PSP3003 OFW 5.50)

    Wait for some time lol. Expecting for CFW is unjust at this time with FW 5.50. All u need to wish is 5.50 HEN.

  • PK

    What is mean by TIFF-based exploit? and what exactly TIFF mean?

  • HENkjan

    hello everybod y i;m good and you ,
    i have a few questions.
    What is CFW?
    What is HEN?
    What is MMS?
    What is HDD?
    What is PSP?
    What is PS2?
    What is Ps1?
    What is Ps3?

    and how do you can change the I/O ports on the Playstation Portable?

    sorry , for these questions i’m trying to make Custom firmware like Chickhen and i call it

    firmware 5.50 ARN

    • Jhazky

      LOL! You don’t know CFW but you’re making a “Custom Firmware”?!

      • akai7062

        @_@ should these questions even be answered lol. …. hell why are you even here lol.

    • ahriman22

      CFW: Custom Firware
      HEN: Type of CFW
      MMS: Magic Memory Stick
      HDD: Hard Drive Disk
      PSP: Playstation Portable…
      PS2: Playstation 2
      PS1: Playstation
      PS3: Playstation 3
      Can’t change the I/O ports on a PSP, at least I don’t think so.
      And you need coding experience, without it you can’t do anything.

      Seriously though, if you don’t know those terms, how the hell do you plan on making a CFW version?

  • VoXeR

    I’ve heard that this “Exploit” is REALLY old and just brought back, been tested over and over, never worked, just crashed

    • Th3Scr4mBL3D

      I’ve read that too, but let us don’t hope so.
      I’ll love to load Custom firmware to my psp slim with 5.50 :)

      I hope the PSP Hackers find a solution soon ;)

  • psp 5.50

    yes this have a few months ,and for this site its good news jajaajajajaj

  • n00b81

    This is not an exploit :(

  • DSV

    We all know its not an expolit! But these noobs will belivie anything! Its all QJ nets fault the dumbarses!!!!!!!

    • Jhazky

      They’re not believing but they’re hoping and learn to spell dumbass NOOB.

      • ahriman22

        Dumbarse = Dumbass

        Learn different terms before saying anything, idiot.

  • Namelesswonder

    You guys jumped to the idea that ChickHEN 5.50 maybe be available. It may take some time to make one. By then Sony will have 5.51. There may not be a ChickHEN 5.50. Anyway is this also compatible with other 5.00 firmwares? Like 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 5.05.

    • Namelesswonder

      If not other earlier firmwares.
