PS-5-PIN-cracker

this repository explains the exploitation of HDMI-CEC to programmatically control a ps 5, helping you to bruteforce ps5 pins!

IMPORTANT

the codes provided only works for some samsung tves with an api to control them and a support of HDMI-CEC. However the showen method can be exploited with any HDMI-CEC supported TV!

Technical description:

Summary

This repository demonstrates a method to programmatically control a PlayStation 5 (PS5) using Python, leveraging the HDMI-CEC capabilities of Samsung Smart TVs. It further shows how this method can be utilized to brute force PINs of local PS5 accounts without encountering rate limits.

---

Prerequisites

• A TV with HDMI-CEC support.
• The ability to control the PS5 with the TV remote.
• Python 3 installed along with the following libraries:
  • base64
  • json
  • logging
  • time
  • ssl
  • websocket

Install dependencies using pip install [requirement name].

Usage

1. Prepare the Setup:

   • Ensure the TV can control the PS5 via HDMI-CEC.
   • Start the PS5 by powering on the TV. (in my case I needed to power on the ps 5 using the TV remote and not the controller) Note: you may need to try this multiple times depending on the TV.

2. Token Retrieval:

   • Use the provided Python script (token.py) to retrieve an authentication token from the TV.

3. PIN bypass

   go to the account you want to brute force click on it and then run pin.py

use cases

1- PIN bypass

2- ps5 limited remote control

3- may be further utilized for more malicious usages and not only a pin guess.

4- this way may impact other devices as well, as this provide a general way of automating device control.
