Yeah they mention April 1st in the post scriptum so it might've only recently circulated widely

Thronebreaker, Witcher 3/RTX , & Cyberpunk 2077 source codes, CD Projekt internal documents are now out in the wilds (Update: PS5 SDK Leaks)

I kinda wish source codes were sunset after 40-50 years or whenever they're past use. I've combed through Pokemon source code (or faked source code?) in the past just to motivate me and put the dots together. Even Doom's source code was interesting to look at if I understood 0% of it.
PS5 SDK

PS5 SDK is now leaked.
PS5.7z has an SDK from Jan 31 2020, Dec 30 2020, and devkit updates as early as Jul 1 2019 and as late as Sep 23 2020

Oof…Sony is definitely not going to be rushing on that whole getting Cyberpunk back on PSN thing eh.

the post claims to have playstation, switch, and xbox so that would be 3.
Holy shit
Pardon my ignorance, but why haven't SDKs leaked from other non, CDPR hacks? Did they just really really really not have good server security? This seems like a no brainer thing to keep very safe
SDK leaks are bad. This opens up hacks/exploits and potential piracy. Not good for anyone
Edit- I have been corrected on this and what I wrote wasn't actually correct

What's the implication here of an SDK leak? I can't imagine there's anything to crazy here with it, right? It's just the tools/backends for developing on the PS5?
I am less concerned about about the SDK leak I think. What, the APIs that games call to interact with the system leak, and maybe some documentation? SDKs are public interfaces anyway (public in the sense that, 3rd parties use them and they need to be secure)
Again the more significant issue is we have a major game developer being extorted here.

One random guess would be that black hat types might want to keep the SDKs to themselves to try to develop exploits.
Another would be that the platform owners generally have an order of magnitude again more resources to go after leakers than a random developer does. Stuff like this is really pulling on the tiger's tail.
Stealing from a multibillion company doesn't morally offend me. Attempting to sell what you stole (disguising the sale as a fundraising for charity) makes you a scumbag.

You can also find out whether there are new firmware exploits, and whether you're able to hack your PS5 or not. The possibilities are somewhat endless.
And this means PS5 emulators are going to avoid this CD Projekt leak.
It does not. The SDK allows you to write PS5 software, but you need to get it signed with Sony or a retail PS5 will not run it. You need a PS5 dev kit for that.
*I'm programming illiterate so forgive me* The sdk is the key to the console, right? Like it let's developers access basically everything it has to offer. If so, then holy crap are the big 3 going to be pissed.
Correct me if I'm wrong please. Better to look like a fool and learn rather than be a quiet fool who thinks he's a genius.

A SDK are the tools you use to develop and run games on a console. Basically, the environment that allows you to interact with the hardware.
This is the most 2021-ass sounding thing ever.

Initial findings reported that there are some extra libraries and new SDK licenses.
Console SDKs leaked earlier (100% not the first such leak for Xbox).
It will be an additional headache for infosec guys at Sony/MS/Nin, but this is hardly a grave leak that will open up all 3 platform to piracy or homebrew.
But muh boi, CP2077 is a gift that keeps on giving, I see.

Man these Russian hacks are really getting out of hand and dangerous for businesses. Yesterday was Ubisoft, today CDPR, tomorrow who knows?
And not to mention ransomwares against public services like Healthcare in Ireland or the oleoduct in Texas.
It's very hard for me to believe that this is just one or more organisations of guys in their basements. This kind of thing needs resources.

Unless they're able to decompile the SDKs the shouldn't offer/allow any functionality that any game dev wouldn't already have access to on a given system
Yeah it's not a full OS or even a dev machine, but it could lead to interesting discoveries usually under NDA.
Hold your horses on them SDK speculations. These kits are for software development (its in the name), doesn't mean they will sign whatever you build with them and being able to run it on retail hardware. Retail hardware patched numerous times after the leak at that. You still need modded console to boot unsinged code. And PS3 is proof, that even if the master/encryption keys leak, there are still ways to patch and block the issue.
This will definitely boost homebrew if there are some kernel exploits in the future.

Yeah, that's not how any of it works. The SDK just allows you to write software for the platform, it goes through a signing and certification process that allows it to run on the platform. That signing process is protected by the relevant platform.
It's like saying people will be able to hack iOS because they have XCode, in reality you write an app, submit it to apple, who then certifies it and lists it on the app store.
Without knowing the underlying keys, signing process or a way around that you have no exploit.
Yeah damn. Most of it was consequence of the terrible leadership but still.
i love that it says "tell your friend" as in it assumes that anybody that could be interested in this stuff at most will have a singular friend.

Will I get in trouble here if I were to say I'd wish they'd hack CIG next so the community can get the source to Star citizen and actually make it playable (meaning, no more server crashes cause we can fly any ship we want in single player) because CIG sure as crap isn't getting it done after all these yrs
