PS4 PKG Unpacker via Red-EyeX32, Payload Porting WIP by Specter
A few Twitter updates today from PlayStation 4 developer RedEyeX32 who shared a teaser image of what appears to be a PS4 PKG Unpacker while Specter confirmed the payload is tested, working and he's beginning to port it to PS4 now!
Previously @RedEyeX32 released a PS4 Update Bypasser and PSProxy Update while there have been several PlayStation 4 Package Unpackers on the Interweb including the original GIT (Archived) from Hykem (HykemTheDemon) and flat_z with Sony PS4 PKG Tools leaks, clones from RetroA (Hisham Baig aka Hishamage), mirrors from Keyaku and the UnPKG tool source code on the Wiki (also below) with an update by XVortex available here: UnPKG.zip (5 KB)

PS4 EEPROM Dumper to Dump PlayStation 4 Non-Volatile Storage
Many moons ago the PS3 Controller EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) was dumped, and moving to the PlayStation 4 generation following zecoxao's recent PS4 SFlash Guide comes a PS4 EEPROM Dumper to (you guessed it 
) dump the console's EEPROM Non-Volatile Storage data.

Below are some related replies from totallynotzecoxao as Twitter tends to blow balls at times with partial embeds:

Below are some related replies from totallynotzecoxao as Twitter tends to blow balls at times with partial embeds:
- it dumps this -> Non_Volatile_Storage
- dumps your tokens and flags
- zero point, unless you are interested in documenting things
- if you ever had a ps3, it's the equivalent of SYSCON's EEPROM readable data through lv1
