Live in Your World, HAX in Ours!
Hello World! I've been reporting on Sony PlayStation hacking news since 2000 and started PSXHAX in 2014 to cover PlayStation (PSX), PlayStation 2 (PS2), PlayStation 3 (PS3), PlayStation 4 (PS4), PlayStation Portable (PSP), PlayStation Vita (PS Vita), PlayStation TV (PS TV) and next-gen PlayStation 5 (PS5) platforms along with anything else of interest.

MrNiato PlayStation 4 Testkit DUH-T1000AA DEX 3.50 Firmware Demo
Earlier this year we reported on the PS4 DevKit / TestKit Root Kernel Dump and today MrNiato (Guillaume Leleu aka H7K3R MrNiato) of the H7k3r Team (Official Site) shared a video demo of his PlayStation 4 Testkit DUH-T1000AA DEX 3.50 Firmware for those interested! 
Here's what MrNiato had to say, roughly translated to quote:
PlayStation 4 TESTKIT DUH-T1000aa (DEX Official) in version 3.50. Console so wanted the normal price is a little less than a minimum wage.
Shown in the video:
While this isn't the first time we've covered both the PS4 Development Kit (DUH-D1000AA) and PS4 Testing Kit (DUH-T1000AA) and the Activated Testing Kit, it wasn't on a version 3.50 Firmware unit which is always nice to see in the hands of developers outside of Sony.
Thanks @YamooDookie123 for the news tip in the Shoutbox!

TRSI Seeks PS4 *** & Decryption Method Testers, Scene EBOOT Dumps
Following the previous PS4 EPEEN release and today's PS VitaShell 1.3 / v1.31 updates, PlayStation scene group TRSi recently announced (NFO) they are looking for PS4 developers to test out their PlayStation 4 *** and decryption methods!
Below is a quote from their Final_Fantasy_X-2_HD_Remaster_MULTi5_WORKING_READNFO_PSV-TRSI / Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster MULTi5 WORKING READNFO PSV TRSI NFO file:
Also for those with a Nintendo Wii-U console, be sure to check out the recent Wii-U ROP / OTP updates which are another step closer to permanent CFW / homebrew via cracked encryption keys!
Finally, from @xxdylanxx45 in the PSXHAX Shoutbox comes THIS Pastebin that may have originated from zecoxao (unconfirmed) containing a PS4 Scene Eboot Dumps Link:
Thus far, the archive contains the following PS4 files with the titles that appear to match the IDs:

BigBoss: PlayStation Camera v2, PS VR USB Descriptor and Software
Following his PS4 Auxiliary Ports and PS4Eyecam / PS4 Camera Firmware Kernel Analysis, PlayStation 4 developer BigBoss recently acquired Sony's new PlayStation Camera version 2 that supports PS VR and shared details on compatibility, open-source PlayStation VR Software and the PlayStation VR USB Descriptor today. 
Below are the related tweets, and of note he confirmed Sony's new PlayStation Camera is not compatible with PS4 Firmware 1.76 which PlayStation 4 hackers have exploited and requires new Firmware.
He's also quite excited about the morpheus_bridge open source software used in PlayStation VR (a Dev hint, perhaps?
), busted out a PS4 camera plug and play mod and is currently seeking access to a Beagle USB 3 Sniffer to get a valid USB Dump for reverse-engineering and further examination. Rock on!
