Codelion release’s Vita memtools, for the Webkit Hack

Just a few weeks ago, we finally got a PSvita hack in the form of a Webkit. (If you have not heard about the webkit you can read about that here) So far no real progress has been seen in the public but all that changes cause of Codelion (better know as @BBalling1 on Twitter) memetools.  I will allow you to dump the modules in side of the webkit, to give you a get understanding, how the web kit works..

 

Here a few word from @BBalling1  on Twitter..

Major update to memtools_vita (version 0.2) autodump resolves and dumps modules with some error handling! pic.twitter.com/icIl559Jfd — Brian B (@BBalling1) October 26, 2014

Vita FW < 3.00 may work to dump all usermode modules with memtools 0.2.1, can someone confirm? (pre aslr) — Brian B (@BBalling1) October 26, 2014

Here is a few word from Wololo about the webkit and how it works..

In order to do so, you’ll need to run Codelion’s special python server, and access your computer’s local IP with the Vita, on port 8888. The readme explains it all, however let me emphasize once again that this is not a release for “end users”, but for developers.

The tools around this exploit are still quite crude, and I am sure many developers are working on their own sets of tools. CodeLion mentions however that this could help people to start doing some significant reverse engineering and ROP. From the readme:
