Following the PS4 Syscon Decapping, PS4 Aux Hax research and his recent PS4 HEN version 1.8 Live Demo (added to PS4 Exploit Host v0.4.6 Alpha1), today PlayStation 4 developer @zecoxao shared via Twitter his latest Github commit dubbed Siscon which is a PS4 Syscon System Controller firmware decrypter allowing further comparison and examination by scene devs.

As mentioned in the Tweets embedded below, he reminds those planning to use it "decrypts syscon fw updates from PS4 devkit consoles (you need to provide the keys yourself, but they're not hard to find)"

Last year we saw the lengths Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive Software went to in attempt to Halt Game Modding, and most recently mainstream media sites including the BBC, Kotaku.com.au, PCGamer.com and TorrentFreak.com report that an Australian Federal court has granted a warrant (gtaorders-1.pdf) against alleged GTA 5 Cheat "Infamous" developers to have their homes searched and any assets pertaining to the case frozen or seized as evidence.

This comes just before the official release of their highly anticipated sequel Red Dead Redemption 2 next week on October 26th, 2018 sending a clear message against video game cheaters.

According to reports, the Infamous cheat (demo video below) allowed players who paid around $40 to generate virtual currency and use a 'god mode' invincibility feature which consequently went offline about six months ago.

Since the Official PS4 Launch Trailer, fans of the series can finally return to the Wild West in the vast and atmospheric world of Red Dead Redemption 2 on PlayStation 4 arriving with the new releases next week on October 26th!

Developed by Rockstar, this massive open world game contains both single-player and multiplayer experiences, and PS4 players get early access to certain online items while following the adventures of Arthur Morgan, outlaw and member of the Van der Linde gang.

Here's what else is heading to PlayStation Network next week courtesy of Sony Social Media Manager Justin Massongill, as follows:
