## What it is
PPPwn is a proof-of-concept kernel remote code execution exploit for PlayStation 4 consoles up to firmware 11.00, exploiting CVE-2006-4304 via PPPoE. It runs from a Linux computer connected by Ethernet to the PS4 and prints 'PPPwned' on the console to demonstrate code execution.

## Use cases
- jailbreak a PS4 on firmware 11.00 or lower
- run a kernel exploit on PlayStation 4 over PPPoE
- load homebrew enablers like Mira on a PS4
- demonstrate CVE-2006-4304 remote code execution
- test PS4 kernel security across supported firmwares

## When to choose
- you have a PS4 on a supported firmware (7.00-11.00) and want kernel code execution
- you want a foundation for running homebrew payloads via stage2.bin
- you need a reproducible PoC for the reported PPPoE vulnerability

## When to avoid
- your PS4 firmware is newer than 11.00
- you want a polished one-click jailbreak with homebrew included - only 'PPPwned' prints by default
- you have no computer with an Ethernet port and a Linux environment
