A new update for Payload SDK has been published, the toolkit developed by the developer John T?rnblom is used to create ELF payloads for the PlayStation 5 consoles.

PS5 Payload SDK includes several artifacts from the PS5SDK project, providing developers with up-to-date tools to create and test payloads on exploited PS5 consoles.
The SDK provides a development environment optimized for creating applications and features that are customized for PlayStation 5 consoles, enabling developers to take full advantage of the platform’s potential.
The update includes a fix for crashes that occurred when loading payloads via JavaScript ELF loader.
Introduced also a signal manager that intercepts critical POSIX signals and generates a trace of the stack saved in /dev/klog, by improving the debugging.
Added rudimentary support for linkage tables (plt) procedures, along with the address display kernel_dynlib_mapbase_addrto users of the SDK.
On the side of the library C (libc), new stubs have been implemented for the function getservbyname()and the function getservbyport(), in addition to the addition of some predefined service names for the method getnameinfo(). .
In addition, problems related to command scripts on Windows systems were fixed and the wrapper of clangto properly manage cases where no translation unit is provided.
Finally, in the section sce_stubs, the library has been added libSceSysmodule, further expanding the features available to developers.
Requirements
On Debian operating systems, you can run the following command to install dependencies used by the SDK: john@localhost:ps5-payload-sdk$ sudo apt-get install bash socat cmake pkg-config clang-15 lld-15
Building
john@localhost:ps5-payload-sdk$ make
Installation
john@localhost:ps5-payload-sdk$ make DESTDIR=/opt/ps5-payload-sdk install
Use
john-localhost:ps5-payload-sdk$ export PS5-PAYLOAD-SDK?/opt/ps5-payload-sdk john-localhost:ps5-payload-sdk$ make -C samples/hello-world john-localhost:ps5-payload-sdk$ export PS5-HOST?ps5; export PS5-PORT-9021 john-localhost:ps5-payload-sdk$ make -C samples/hello-world test
Addition of new SCE libraries
If you have deciphered sprx files that you want to interact with, you can create stubs for them in the following way:
john-localhost:ps5-payload-sdk $ sudo apt-get install wget python3 python3-python3-pyelftools john-localhost:ps5-payload-sdk $ cp /path/to/sprx/libSceXYZ.sprx sce-stubs/ john-localhost:ps5-payload-sdk $ make -C sce-stubs stubs john-localhost:ps5-payload-sdk $ make DESTDIR/opt/ps5-payload-sdk install
Bug report
If you encounter problems with ps5-payload-sdk, you should open a report on GitHub. If you expect to send pull requests that affect more than a few lines of code, it is preferable to open a report before you start working on the changes.
This will allow you to properly discuss the solution before committing time and energy.
