klogsrv

This is a simple socket server that redirects the kernel log on jailbroken Playstation 4 and 5 consoles to sockets connected on port 3232.

On Playstation 5, klogsrv reads the debug log through libkernel debug log functions. On Playstation 4, it reads /dev/klog.

The server binds to 0.0.0.0, so it keeps listening across network interface appearance and disappearance.

Building for the PS4

Assuming you have the ps4-payload-sdk installed on a POSIX machine, klogsrv can be compiled using the following two commands:

john@localhost:klogsrv$ export PS4_PAYLOAD_SDK=/opt/ps4-payload-sdk
john@localhost:klogsrv$ make -f Makefile.ps4

Building for the PS5

Assuming you have the ps5-payload-sdk installed on a POSIX machine, klogsrv can be compiled using the following two commands:

john@localhost:klogsrv$ export PS5_PAYLOAD_SDK=/opt/ps5-payload-sdk
john@localhost:klogsrv$ make -f Makefile.ps5

Usage

To view the kernel log from your Playstation, connect to klogsrv using netcat:

john@localhost:klogsrv$ nc $HOSTNAME_OR_IP 3232
