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.

Mobdro: Free Video Streaming App for Android Devices
We've blogged before on video streaming apps like Kodi / XBMC with my (now antiquated) list of add-ons sharing some handy video streaming sites, and recently in the PSXHAX Shoutbox I was introduced to the free video streaming application for Android called Mobdro (FAQ / Installation Guide) which works for popular movies, TV shows, sports and even PPV channels without a subscription needed thanks to both @bonusball and @Wultra. 
While it's not as exciting as Flat_z's latest PS4 news, you don't need a jailbroken or rooted device to use it so I gave it a try last night and it worked surprisingly well with the exception of some ads (perhaps there's a modded ad-free version floating around
) allowing me to watch back-to-back episodes of programs like King of the Hill and Seinfeld in decent quality from my smartphone. 
There is a channel search functionality built-in, and besides the ads the only downside I found was you can't start in-progress programs over or choose which episode you want to watch, but it's great to catch up on or rewatch your favorite video content quickly and easily without the hassle of constantly updating Kodi add-ons or hitting dead video streams.
If you try to search for Mobdro on the official Google Play store you'll end up seeing only useless applications with the same name and some of them are even using the same logo in attempt to confuse people, so the best bet is to download it directly from Mobdro.to while it lasts as chances are this useful service will get shut down like most others these days due to corporate infringement claims, etc.

Seagate Launches PS4 4TB USB 3.0 Game Drive HDD for PlayStation 4
Earlier this year we saw the release of a 2TB Game Drive by Seagate, and recently they've announced the addition of a 4TB Game Drive which can hold 100+ PlayStation 4 games compared to 50+ for the 2TB model. 
The MSRP for the 2TB model STGD2000400 is $109.99 and pricing for the 4TB model STGD4000400 is $159.99, although they can be found as low as $130 at retailers according to VentureBeat.com.
To quote: "The Game Drive's USB 3.0 connection has high speed and is compatible with any generation of PS4 (System Software version 4.50 or higher). It runs off USB power, so you don’t need an extra plug.
You just plug the external drive directly into any USB port on the console – setup starts automatically and takes less than three minutes."

Host Your Own PS4 Webkit Exploit Page on LAN by Al Azif
Inspired by the recent PS4 Webkit Exploit Local Server tutorial, @Al Azif shared a script to cover many of the steps in the guide and has since updated the Easy PS4 Exploit Hosting Tool releasing on Github for those seeking to host their own PS4 Webkit Exploit page on LAN since Sony started blocking them. 
Easy PS4 Exploit Hosting Tool Download: ps4-exploit-host.zip / GIT / PS4 Exploit Host Menu (for those who don't want to host their own) / Exploits Folder Browser / PS4 Exploit Host for OpenWRT by irefuse
To quote from the README.md: PS4 Exploit Host
What is this?
This is an easy way for anyone to host their own exploit for the PS4 on their LAN. It blocks PSN to stop accidental updates, it also serves the 4.05 update if you want it to. You can also generate an FTP payload. There is also a simple CLI for sending additional payloads.
So the scope of this has become like an all in one toolkit.
