## What it is
Y2JB is a PS5 exploit that achieves userland code execution through the console's YouTube app. It supports firmware 4.03+ via a payload delivered through the app on jailbroken or non-jailbroken consoles.

## Use cases
- execute userland code on ps5
- jailbreak ps5 via youtube app
- run homebrew payloads on ps5
- ps5 exploit for firmware 4.03 and up
- deliver payloads to ps5 without webkit exploit

## When to choose
- you want userland code execution on a PS5 running firmware 4.03 or later
- you already have a jailbroken PS5 and want an alternative entry point via the YouTube app
- you need a payload delivery method that works on non-jailbroken consoles via backup restore

## When to avoid
- you want full kernel-level jailbreak capabilities rather than userland execution
- you are unwilling to factory reset your PS5 when using the backup restore method
- you rely on a legit PSN-activated account, which is incompatible with Y2JB

## Facets
