Live in Your World, HAX in Ours!

Final Fantasy XV (FFXV) Character Object Models Decrypted & Extracted
Not long ago we shared a Playable Teaser PS4 Model Data & Textures Extraction Guide, and recently MrAdults unveiled some Final Fantasy XV (FFXV) character object models decrypted and extracted by DickWhitehouse of RichWhitehouse.com with the textures attached.

According to the Noesis ReadMe file, as pointed out by chrrox, to quote: "Noesis converts and previews many data formats. You can get an idea of which ones by looking at the file type mask droplist on the face of the application."
Version 4.2 - 4.234:
"This game is only on Xbox One and PS4 and it's not publicly decrypted that's why it's hard to extract from the game. Their poses and expressions changes with bones rigged on them."
Whether these are indeed from the PS4 or XBone it's definitely cool stuff, and cheers to both harryoke and HydrogenNGU on Twitter for the heads-up!

PS4 GTA V Native Caller by 2much4u for Use with CTurt's PS4 ***
Last weekend we saw GTA V Simple Mod Menu v1.0 for PS4 1.76 from PlayStation 4 developer @2much4u, and today he returns via Twitter with a PS4 GTA V Native Caller for use with CTurt's PS4 *** and perhaps Hitodama's PS4SDK with more details below.
Download: PS4-GTA-V-Native-Caller-master.zip / GIT / iw6_ds.rar (Ghosts Server .exe + .pdb - 11.16 MB) / iw_ps4_image.zip (Full Server Dump - 403.2 MB)
To quote from the README.md: PS4 GTA V Native Caller
A simple example of calling natives for GTA V using CTurt's PS4 ***.
Brief Explanation
Setting Up Execution
The payload first escalates privileges using the dlclose kernel exploit. The kernel payload also disables ASLR for newly created processes, making it much easier to modify them. Afterwards, the browser payload constantly checks the running processes waiting for one called eboot.bin. Once a game process is found, the syscall ptrace is used to read and write to it. With ASLR disabled, the EBOOT always starts at 0x400000 in memory.
The payload reads a few bytes from the EBOOT to verify that the game is GTA V and to detect the region. The payload makes 3 edits to the EBOOT. Luckily, the EBOOT's main executable memory page has about 0xE000 free bytes at its end. Two functions are copied into that free space: a standard main function, nativeHook, and another for calling natives by hash, invokeNative. The last edit hooks the IS_PLAYER_ONLINE native to call the recently copied main function. After this, the browser payload exits.
Executing Inside GTA V
Once executing within GTA V, a structure called gtaVars is declared in some more free memory to keep track of global variables as well as a native argument structure. In order to...
