What is F00D?F00D is considered to be the “level 0” of the PS Vita security chain. Security checks on FOOD happen before other systems are even accessed. It is believed that exploiting F00D could lead to a permanent hack, that possibly couldn’t be patched without a hardware upgrade of the PS Vita.
YifanLu, one of the hackers behind the HENkaku Vita hack, has stated recently that he would focus his reverse engineering efforts on F00D moving forward. This was followed by lots of progress from various hackers in January, including a deeper understanding of the F00D protocol.

What’s next for the end user?A full exploit on the F00D processor of the Vita could possibly mean a “permanent” hack (no need to run HENkaku each time you reboot), or potentially a hack that works on current firmwares such as 3.63, and that Sony could not necessarily fix with a firmware update. There’s lots of speculation here but this is the general expectation.
At the moment however, I see no reason for the end user to be overly excited. Whether my analysis is right or wrong, Xyz’s release is useful for the people who already know what to do with it. Today, that’s a handful of hackers worldwide. Soon, this could mean something useful will be out for the end user though. How long this will take depends on how far off my interpretation above is: if there is actually an exploit that just got released, things could happen much faster than I think.
