ReactPSPLUS to Reactivate PS Plus Games on PS4 5.05 by Thunder07
Today Thunder07 (aka Zer0xFF on Twitter) updated his Github with ReactPSPLUS dubbed the 'Back To The Future PS4 Edition' which resets the PS4 5.05 internal clock back to 2013 to reactivate your previously or currently installed PS Plus games on the console. 
Download: reactPSPlus.bin / reactPSPlus.31May2018.undo.bin (sets date back to 31 May 2018) / GIT / Live Demo
This comes following ReActPSN, there's some additional details in his blog post on MadNation.net, and here's what the README.md states: reactPSPLUS
A simple code that will reset PS4 internal clock back to 2013 thus in turn activating PS+ Games that has been previously or are currently on the console
Build
The code has been currently tested to build using xvortex/ps4-payload-*** however, i see no reason it wouldnt build with cturt or idc's ***. To add, the code is rather simple it can be easily ported to any other current *** or even future ***(s)
Download
Requirement
Send the payload to the PS4 using socat (note 192.168.1.1 should be changed to PS4 IP address)
socat FILE:reactPSPLUS.bin TCP:192.168.1.1:9020
Notes
The payload would set the internal clock to 2013 and your PS+ games would start working, you wouldn't even need to have HEN enabled to use these games since they're legit games and would work...

Dumping PS4 5.05 DLC, Games, Updates & Themes Guide by TheRadziu
Following the PS4 5.05 Kernel Exploit release, TheRadziu (aka @AluPL) shared a guide on dumping PS4 5.05 DLC, games, updates and PlayStation 4 themes.
To quote from TheRadziu on NGR with the details: Here is my attempt at dumping tutorial, especially that there are no DLC dumping tutorials, so here is the very first one
Game/Patch Dumping:
You'll need:
2. (optional, but recommended) Connect your exFAT HDD/Pendrive to pc, from extracted dumper archive copy dumper.cfg (its in directory 'config') to the root of your pendrive/HDD. Now edit this file and change 'split' value from 3 to 0.
3. On the console run the game you want to dump, when it fully loads to main menu press PS button to minimalize it
4. Connect your HDD/Pendrive to the PS4
5. Run ps4 dumper on your PS4 using preferred way (either standalone (via html) or payload (via bin) - recommended ps4-exploit-host + standalone html)
NOTE: if you are using the standalone version of the dumper you'll need to keep the webpage open.
6. It'll start dumping the game + patch (into a single CUSAXXXXX-app directory, or CUSAXXXXX-app and CUSAXXXXX-patch if you didnt put dumper.cfg on the root of your USB or you did not edit 'split' value)
7. After dumping process is done your console will shut down, you can now disconnect USB from your PS4 and connect it to PC
8. Run genpg4.exe (its in gengp4 directory from ps4 dumper archive), now using this tool open CUSAXXXXX directory from your USB
9. Press 'Generate .GP4' and then 'Save .GP4', do the same with CUSAXXXXX-patch dir if you have one
10. Open orbis-pub-gen.exe (from Fake PKG Generator archive), click File -> open -> and select .GP4 file you just created
11. Press Command -> Project Setting -> Package tab, check if ContentID is correct & passcode is set to '00000000000000000000000000000000', now close that window
12. Press Command -> Build Image -> Set Output Path, this is where your fpkg will be saved...
To quote from TheRadziu on NGR with the details: Here is my attempt at dumping tutorial, especially that there are no DLC dumping tutorials, so here is the very first one
Game/Patch Dumping:
You'll need:
- PS4 with 5.05 FW
