PS4 CFW and Hacks

Continuing in the holiday rush since the 4.05 PS4 Kernel Exploit release, we've now seen a 4.05 Kernel Dump and Rizzo Signatures for 4.05 surface alongside some code (below) that scene developers can use for a payload to kick off PS4 4.05 game modding from Skillsofcape (aka @01cedric) following his work on the WEBRTM Game Mod Project.

Next up, since the PS4 Fat, Slim and Pro Serial / Flash Pinouts were documented PlayStation 4 scene developer VVildCard777 turned up the heat after his PS4 Debug Settings Demo by sharing some UART Enabler 4.05 payload code (below) for developers interested in making use of the PS4 UART for further research.

The PS4 PUP Unpacker also continues getting updated from Zer0xFF, while PlayStation 4 developer @zecoxao announced on Twitter that Zer0Tolerance discovered the method Sony uses for generating "metadata" in lv1 fselfs.

Visual PS4 UI Mod for 4.05 (English/French)

Awhile back we reported on a PS4 PKG Finder available at OrbisModding.com, and today Octolus announced he started a new PS4 Package (PKG) Searchable Database with an API located at PS4.Octolus.net (aka PS4Database.io, currently located at OrbisPatches.com followed by PKGDB.io) with automated patch updates via PS4Patches alongside a similar PKG database archive dubbed PSXPatches.com via Jeroendev aka nomadic_20 on X.

As the PS4 Exploited 4.05 scene awaits upcoming details from Flat_z on Running Custom PKG Games which was recently unveiled in his interview and demo, it would be handy to stockpile PS4 PKG Files including those HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE from PSNStuffX compiling them into a one-stop-shop scene database.

Following the PS4 1.76 FTP Server, @xerpi's FTPS4, the PS4 1.76 Fixed FTP Payload, the v1.76 libftps4.bin and his recent work PlayStation 4 developer IDC updated his LibFTPS4 and PS4 Payload *** Github forks while discovering some interesting PS4 FF7 port images (see below) which may indicate (now confirmed) they're emulating or running patched .exe code on PS4 directly!

On the topic of PS4 FTP clients, several other PS4 developers have been working on payloads with support for the recent PS4 Kernel Exploit 4.05 added including @MrNiato who shared his today on Twitter.

Today we have a few demo videos, the first being a Single User Shooting Game from the Sony PS4 *** leak (removed) running on a TestKit courtesy of PS4 developer @MrNiato on Twitter who states the following about it in the caption to quote:
