In reversing the code, you figure out how it works-and what to patch to disable code signature checks, for example-as well as further vulnerabilities in order to run custom code." Once you do that, you can dump all the system code from the device and reverse engineer it. "The first is finding the initial vulnerability that lets you dig into the system. "There are three distinct steps ," Yifanlu continues, doing away with my understanding that it's merely the result of witchcraft. Finally, we had all the pieces to create HENkaku, and then wrote the kernel patches that allowed homebrew games to work."
So for the next two years, we slowly and meticulously reverse engineered the kernel and figured out how it works how games are loaded, how encryption and decryption works, how to draw to the screen. The original exploit we found, for many technical reasons, would not work for a hack for the masses. "For the next two years, we tried to hack the kernel, the central part of the console's operating system, and met success in the summer of 2014. By the end of 2012, I managed to get code running in user space: the same permissions as games, so not enough to launch custom apps yet. "I bought the First Edition Bundle when the Vita came out, and almost immediately started looking for vulnerabilities," Team Molecule's most vocal member, Yifanlu, tells me. I bought the Vita's First Edition Bundle, and almost immediately started looking for vulnerabilities. – Team Molecule's Yifanlu It took Team Molecule's Davee, Proxima, xyz, and Yifanlu an age to get HENkaku to where it is today. While the user-end of HENkaku is child's play, breaking the walls down was anything but. Thankfully, running homebrew is slightly easier nowadays: You open a webpage and click a button. You'd be forgiven for thinking the user-end of modifying a robust system like the Vita would require a degree in game development to operate. It's akin to "rooting" an Android phone or "jailbreaking" an iOS device. Team Molecule's HENkaku is an app that lets users run homebrew games on the Vita.
