Could you build this?

No Building a PS5 payload requires deep knowledge of PlayStation 5 internal OS architectures (FreeBSD-derived Orbis/Prospero kernel) and jailbreak exploitation primitives.

What it would actually take: Requires an existing PS5 userland/kernel exploit toolchain (such as standard PS5 SDKs and Mira/Payload loaders). The developer must reverse engineer the PS5 ShellUI and daemon network routines responsible for fetching title update metadata from Sony CDNs, writing targeted memory hooks or IPC interception in C/assembly.
