Today at the GeekPwn 2016 Carnival in Shanghai Station the Pavilion Safety Research Lab shared a PS4 4.01 Linux installation / Ksploit demonstration exploit video via Chinese site Changting Technology Security Lab!

In the video they navigate their PS4 Web browser to http://chaitin.cn/ps4 which currently just shows their video instead of their 'Sony PlayStation4 Jailbreak' so hopefully more details on this PS4 jailbreak method will follow soon!

Check it out below with some related Tweets from Joonie86, who also notes they played Mario using an NES emulator as follows:

Following their previous PS4 1.76 UI Mod and PS4 Custom Home Menu updates, this weekend e✘treme updated it to PS4 UI Mod version 0.09 Alpha with some screenshots below.

To quote, roughly translated: "I worked on my 1.76 Mod further and Version 0.09 Alpha is finished.

Any changes in the user interface and the Home Menu are only visually, so debug settings are not in function."
