Could you build this?

No TacHen is a PlayStation 5 homebrew/exploit menu targeting specific firmware revisions (1.00-13.60), requiring deep reverse engineering, kernel exploitation, and console security bypasses.

What it would actually take: Building this requires reverse-engineering the PS5 FreeBSD-derived kernel, finding or implementing WebKit/userland and kernel ROP chains/exploits, and developing native payload injectors. The stack involves low-level C/assembly, PS5 SDK headers/syscall reversing, and deep binary exploitation expertise across specific firmware offsets.
