Since Sasuke PS4 4.50 OFW went live, we've seen How to Set Up a PS4 USB 3.0 HDD, PS4 External Hard Disk Drive Restrictions, PSN Account Factors, PS4 Apps / Games via External HDD and now thenextslash shared a guide on copying PS4 game saves to a USB 3.0 external PS4 hard disk drive.

Check out the tutorial below, to quote: How to Copy a PS4 Game Save to an External Drive

You will need:

That's it! Cheers to windrider42 for the heads up on this guide!

With Easter on the way things are definitely hoppin in the PS4 hacking scene, and following confirmation of PS4 4.50 Kernel R/W Access and his recent updates PlayStation 4 developer @CTurt sent word on Twitter that he's updated from 1.76 to 4.06 OFW (Official Firmware) to test out the recent JailbreakMe PS4 4.0x exploit!

When asked by @flex0 why he didn't take the plunge to 4.07 instead of going only to 4.06 @CTurt replied with the following explanation, to quote:

"4.06 is the version Luca is on, and I wanted to test out his stuff. 4.07 has the same bugs though."

In related news, following the PS4 HENkaku Exploit for 3.55 OFW, FireKaku PS4 3.15 / 3.50 Ports, his PS4 Playground (WIP) for Firmware 3.55 and PS4 3.55 Syscalls PlayStation 4 developer @SpecterDev announced on Twitter he's currently working on converting Qwertyoruiopz's exploit to 3.55.

Here are some of the related Tweets for those following along:

Once again, if you are not on Sony's latest PlayStation 4 Firmware 4.50 already it's...

PlayStation 4 modders Swaqq, Sabotage and Blasts Mods shared a demonstration video today on Blasts Mods YouTube Channel of their PS4 Advanced Warfare Mod Menu for 1.76 consoles.

Check out the CoD: Advanced Warfare mod menu demo below, and to quote from blasts on NGU:

Hey guys, Swaqq, Sabotage and me (Blasts Mods) have been working on modding Advanced Warfare in the past 2 days on PS4 and so far we have been able to do a lot.

Here's a video of the host menu that Swaqq made:
I have also made a tool for rtm modding, here's a gif:
Also Sabotage made a peek/poke tool using ptrace through sockets (using payload):

Cheers to @HydrogenNGU for the heads up on Twitter!

Last week PlayStation 4 developer qwertyoruiopz made available a JailbreakMe PS4 4.0x Webkit exploit for OFW 3.55 through 4.07, and over this weekend he received an invite from the Rebug Team while sharing progress updates leading to confirmation of a 0day 4.50 kernel exploit obtaining R/W (Read / Write) access!

His latest JailbreakMe PS4 4.0x (Mirror via @X41) update states the exploit supports all non-4.50 Firmware, but specifically targets 4.06 currently due to ROP gadgets being hardcoded.

To recap, those on PS4 1.76 Firmware were able to make use of the Kernel Exploit Source Code that progressed to a PS4 BadIRET PoC finally leading to the 1.76 PS4 Dlclose Exploit.

For those on PS4 Firmware 4.07 or below you can use the JailbreakMe PS4 4.0x Exploit to gain userland access, and users on System Software 4.50 can rest assured a 0day 4.50 kernel exploit also exists although there is no user-level entry point for 4.50 OFW reported publicly as of yet.

Also keep in mind PlayStation 4 scene developers may decide to hold off disclosing the 0day PS4 4.50 kernel exploit much like the PS4 Pro 0day Exploit that...

Here's to hoping everyone is having a nice April Fool's Day today, and while it wouldn't qualify as an April 1st joke since the Tweet is dated 8:17 PM - 31 Mar 2017 yesterday @evilsperm of Team Rebug sent word to JailbreakMe PS4 4.0x exploit developer qwertyoruiopz inviting him to join their private PS4Dev channel to share information privately.

Here's what the Tweet states, to quote: "@qwertyoruiopz we would like to extend an invite to our private PS4DEV chan and share some knowledge, shoot me a DM for more info. ^^ rebug"

When asked earlier today, qwertyoruiopz has yet to reply on the invitation publicly but hopefully they decide to collaborate in some capacity.

Keep in mind at this point it's just an invitation for qwertyoruiopz to join Team Rebug's PS4Dev channel to talk, and if they decide to exchange knowledge among one another it wouldn't necessarily mean a new PlayStation 4 jailbreak or PS4 CFW would result.

Cheers to @mcmrc1 for the heads up in the PSXHAX Shoutbox!
