PS4 4.07 Unlimited PSN Gamesharing Hardware Method by Xmax Katsu!
Previously we've seen the Russian / Brazilian, Egyption and standard PS4 GameSharing methods, but today PlayStation 4 hacker xmaxkatsu shared a glimpse at a hardware method he's using to get unlimited PSN games on primary accounts via Sony's latest PlayStation 4 Firmware 4.07! 
This isn't the first time hardware mods have been suggested for the PlayStation 4, and his Tweet (below) states the following, to quote:
"4.07 
flash+HDD S/N bypass unlimit PSN primary acc share possible "
Just imagine how many times you could gameshare Destiny, Call of Duty, Final Fantasy VX, or any other game you'd like. Especially for the money-grabbers who hack a console to make revenue from it, I could see it go big in a way.
We'll see if I can speak with Xmax Katsu this week, and maybe we can find out a bit more over this topic. Hopefully he can post a tutorial over this, and what is needed in order to execute this to work!
Cheers to @mcmrc1 and @UmarDaBest559 for the news tip also in the PSXHAX Shoutbox!

DualShock 4 (DS4) PS4 Firmware Dump & Reversing Tools by DS4User
Hello @PSXHAX, today PlayStation 4 Developer Zecoxao shared a new GitHub from DS4User containing a DualShock 4 (DS4) PS4 Firmware dump and reverse-engineering tools for other devs to examine! 
Previously, we have seen PS4 Developer J0lama release his DS4 Linux Library to control DualShock 4 Controllers which you can view here if you haven't seen it yet: J0lama's DS4.lib
Github Link for the DS4 Code: DS4 GitHub
Clone/Download: DS4User.git / ds4-master.zip / ds4-master.zip (Mirror) / ds4-master.zip (Mirror #2)
Raw File for Code Below: Raw Code

With fw of controller, it is possible to do interesting things like:

With fw of controller, it is possible to do interesting things like:
- flash custom fw to controller
- learn how all aspects of controller works
- implement native pairing on other host devices
- present custom hardware as "official" DS4 to PS4

Decrypting and Dumping PS4 Games (EBOOT & SPRX) Guide by Zecoxao
Hello PSXHAX, today PlayStation 4 Developer Zecoxao has conveyed a new tutorial on how to decrypt and dump PS4 games (EBOOT, PRX, SPRX).
Previously, he made a tutorial on How to Dump and Decrypt Usermodules, which is a continuation on this topic he brings today.
There was a mistake on the tutorial, but @zecoxao had got it fixed, so everything should be okay now. Lets jump straight into this tutorial.
To roughly quote Zecoxao's Tutorial: [Tutorial] How to Decrypt and Dump Games (EBOOT, PRX and SPRX)
Requirements:
1. Compile the payload with the correct commands. Specifically for The Playroom (CUSA00001):
2. Start the game.
3. Minimize the game (PS Button)
4. Access elf loader
5. Let it load all the way until stage 5 and stabilize
6. Plug the usb stick or hdd on the rightmost port, near PS4 logo
7. Load the payload:

To roughly quote Zecoxao's Tutorial: [Tutorial] How to Decrypt and Dump Games (EBOOT, PRX and SPRX)
Requirements:
- ps4sdk precompiled
- elf loader precompiled or extreme-modding's elf loader.
- the payload source
- 1.76 console
- usb pendrive or external hdd (fat32 or exfat, exfat recommended)
- A preactivated online game or a purchased disc game
- The TITLE ID of the disc
1. Compile the payload with the correct commands. Specifically for The Playroom (CUSA00001):
Code:
decrypt_and_dump_self("/mnt/sandbox/pfsmnt/CUSA00001-app0/eboot.bin", "/mnt/usb0/eboot.bin");
decrypt_and_dump_self("/mnt/sandbox/pfsmnt/CUSA00001-app0/sce_module/libc.prx", "/mnt/usb0/libc.prx");
decrypt_and_dump_self("/mnt/sandbox/pfsmnt/CUSA00001-app0/sce_module/libSceFios2.prx", "/mnt/usb0/libSceFios2.prx");
decrypt_and_dump_self("/mnt/sandbox/pfsmnt/CUSA00001-app0/sce_sys/about/right.sprx", "/mnt/usb0/right.sprx");3. Minimize the game (PS Button)
4. Access elf loader
5. Let it load all the way until stage 5 and stabilize
6. Plug the usb stick or hdd on the rightmost port, near PS4 logo
7. Load the payload:
Code:
#listener
socat - TCP:my.ps4.ip:5052
#sender
socat -u FILE:path/to/DumpFile TCP:my.ps4.ip:5053
