Auto initiate pppwn on ps4 startup

[Tamyhen]

Would it be possible to somehow run the payload automatically to avoid having to manually initiate the pppwn script through a web browser? This project: https://github.com/FalsePhilosopher/PPPwnWRT has the following commands to enable auto-start in OpenWRT
/etc/init.d/pppwnwrt enable
/etc/init.d/pppwnwrt start
top -d 1 | grep pppwn to ensure pppwn is running

Step-by-Step Guide to Automate the Jailbreak

Step 1: Understand the PPPwn Exploit Workflow
The PPPwn exploit relies on manipulating the PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) connection process on the PS4. When the PS4 attempts to connect to the internet via PPPoE, the exploit is triggered, and the jailbreak payload is delivered. Currently, you initiate this process manually via a browser, but we’ll automate it by running the exploit directly on the router and triggering it when the PS4 connects.

Step 2: Identify Your PS4 on the Network
To automate the process, you need a way to detect when your PS4 connects to the network. This can be done using the PS4’s MAC address, which is unique to the device.

Find the PS4’s MAC Address:
On your PS4, go to Settings > System > System Information to find the MAC address (LAN Cable).
Alternatively, check your router’s DHCP lease table to find the MAC address associated with your PS4’s IP address. On OpenWRT, you can do this via the LuCI web interface (Status > Overview > Active DHCP Leases) or via SSH:

cat /tmp/dhcp.leases
Look for the entry corresponding to your PS4’s hostname or IP address.
Assign a Static IP to the PS4 (Optional but recommended):
To make automation easier, assign a static IP to your PS4 based on its MAC address. This ensures the PS4 always gets the same IP address, simplifying detection and scripting.
In the LuCI web interface, go to Network > Hostnames or Network > DHCP and DNS > Static Leases.
Add a static lease for your PS4’s MAC address and assign it a fixed IP (e.g., 192.168.1.100).
Alternatively, via SSH, edit the /etc/config/dhcp file:

vi /etc/config/dhcp
Add the following entry:

config host
option name 'PS4'
option mac 'XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX' # Replace with your PS4’s MAC address
option ip '192.168.1.100' # Replace with your desired static IP
Save the file and restart the DHCP service:

/etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart

Step 3: Set Up PPPwn on the Router
Assuming you’ve already followed the PPPwnWRT guide to install PPPwn on your OpenWRT router, ensure the following:

The PPPwn exploit binary (pppwn) is installed on your router.
The required firmware-specific stage files (e.g., stage1.bin and stage2.bin for your PS4 firmware) are in the correct directory on the router (e.g., /root/pppwn/).
The PPPoE server is configured and running on the router, as per the PPPwnWRT guide.
Test the PPPwn exploit manually on the router to ensure it works:

cd /root/pppwn
pppwn --interface eth0 --fw 1100 --stage1 stage1.bin --stage2 stage2.bin
Replace eth0 with the correct network interface on your router (e.g., the LAN interface) and 1100 with your PS4 firmware version (e.g., 900 for 9.00, 1100 for 11.00, etc.).

If the exploit works manually, proceed to automation.

Step 4: Create an Automation Script
You’ll create a shell script on the router that:

Monitors the network for the PS4’s connection (using its MAC address or IP).
Triggers the PPPwn exploit when the PS4 is detected.
Create the Script:
SSH into your OpenWRT router and create a script, e.g., /root/pppwn_automation.sh:

vi /root/pppwn_automation.sh
Add the following content:

#!/bin/sh

Configuration

PS4_MAC="XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" # Replace with your PS4’s MAC address
PS4_IP="192.168.1.100" # Replace with your PS4’s static IP (if set)
PPPWN_DIR="/root/pppwn" # Directory where PPPwn is installed
INTERFACE="eth0" # Replace with your router’s LAN interface
FIRMWARE="1100" # Replace with your PS4 firmware version (e.g., 900, 1100)
STAGE1="$PPPWN_DIR/stage1.bin"
STAGE2="$PPPWN_DIR/stage2.bin"
LOG_FILE="/tmp/pppwn_automation.log"

Function to log messages

log() {
echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') - $1" >> "$LOG_FILE"
}

Function to check if PS4 is connected

is_ps4_connected() {
# Check if the PS4’s MAC address is in the ARP table
arp -n | grep -i "$PS4_MAC" > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
return 0 # PS4 is connected
else
return 1 # PS4 is not connected
fi
}

Function to run PPPwn

run_pppwn() {
log "PS4 detected. Running PPPwn exploit..."
cd "$PPPWN_DIR"
pppwn --interface "$INTERFACE" --fw "$FIRMWARE" --stage1 "$STAGE1" --stage2 "$STAGE2" >> "$LOG_FILE" 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
log "PPPwn exploit executed successfully."
else
log "PPPwn exploit failed. Check logs for details."
fi
}

Main loop

log "Starting PPPwn automation script..."
while true; do
if is_ps4_connected; then
log "PS4 detected with MAC $PS4_MAC."
run_pppwn
# Wait for a while before checking again (e.g., 5 minutes)
sleep 300
else
log "PS4 not detected. Waiting..."
# Wait for a shorter period before checking again (e.g., 10 seconds)
sleep 10
fi
done
Make the Script Executable:

chmod +x /root/pppwn_automation.sh
Test the Script:
Run the script manually to ensure it works:

/root/pppwn_automation.sh
Monitor the log file (/tmp/pppwn_automation.log) to verify that the script detects the PS4 and runs the exploit correctly.
Step 5: Run the Script on Boot
To ensure the automation script runs automatically when the router boots, add it to the OpenWRT startup process.

Edit the Startup Script:
Edit the /etc/rc.local file to run your script on boot:

vi /etc/rc.local
Add the following line before the exit 0 line:

/root/pppwn_automation.sh &
The & ensures the script runs in the background.
Save and Reboot:
Save the file and reboot your router to test:

reboot
Step 6: Test the Automation
Power off your PS4.
Power it back on and connect it to the network.
Monitor the log file on the router to verify that the script detects the PS4 and runs the PPPwn exploit:

cat /tmp/pppwn_automation.log
If everything is set up correctly, the PS4 should be jailbroken automatically without requiring browser interaction.

Hi, sorry for not replying sooner — it’s been a very busy few months for me. This already has options to automatically run PPPwn, unless you're referring to something else. I made a video showing how to install it and how it works pppwn_ow

[Tamyhen]

I want the exploit to run without having to go to the web browser so pppwn runs automatically when the console boots up
