As planned, today PlayStation 4 hacker Marcan of Fail0verflow covered how they reverse-engineered Sony's PS4 console via FreeBSD / Sandbox to install PS4 Linux on it at Chaos Computer Club (CCC) 2016 alongside a Portal 2 Steam (older Demo / Guide) PS4 demonstration video below on Firmware 4.05!

According to @Joonie of Team Rebug, PlayStation 4 developer @flatz got PS4 Linux running on Firmware 4.05 day 1 too!

While fail0verflow stated that due to the 'drama' that comes along with it they aren't going to be the ones to provide PS4 exploits that may lead to backups on the PlayStation 4 (especially after what Sony did to GeoHot), scene release group TRSi is still active and there are some very interesting things happening HERE so it's best to stay at 4.05 or below although not all developers agree.

  Not we.... they run linux!
  
  I read on internet about this
  
  "confirmed that Fail0verflow do not intend to release any exploit for the PS4, as their focus is 100% on the Linux port"

  I'm 10000 % sure, TRSi will release the exploit and the other stuff and they maybe work or get the stuff from FailOverflow. Why? Because NO ONE would spend so MUCH time to port linux and put it on github so NO ONE CAN USE IT. Mostly no one. Who the hell would do that.
  
  It's pretty safe that we will have an exploit release soon.

  I want to know with everyone respect: when can we put this into practice in 4.05?
  And some video to teach how to proceed?
  And when will we finally have the pandora box open?
  
  Blababababla ..... and we continue in 1.76 stop !

  Fail0verflow provided what's needed for devs, and confirmed it's not that hard for someone else talented to figure out so they don't need to be the ones to release the exploit.
  
  That said, I too believe someone else will take the reins from them and push the PS4 scene forward.. hopefully someone who isn't as concerned about credit and will do it 'anonymously' to protect themselves from Sony... the big question is when.

  The tweets mention what "$ony" did to geohot. Is there an article that can back up that claim or is it an inside community only?

PS4 Remote Package (PKG) Installer & Instructions by Flat_z
It appears Halloween treats are coming early this year to the PlayStation 4 scene, as following his FSELF Loader via Server developer @flatz passed along on Twitter some Instructions for a PS4 Remote Package (PKG) Installer meaning there's no need to use a USB / External HDD any longer.

Download: remote_pkg_installer.pkg (4.1 MB)

According to his Tweets below, "it does exactly the same as S0ny when they install packages from their CDN, but think that mine allows you to use any host as storage, installation equals to downloading plus meta data unpacking on PS4."

To quote from the remote_pkg_installer.txt: Instructions for Remote Package Installer
Siscon: PS4 Syscon System Controller Firmware Decrypter by Zecoxao
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.

Download: siscon-master.zip / GIT

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)"
Rockstar & Take-Two Get Warrant to Search Homes of GTA 5 Cheaters
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.
How to Change PS4 DLC Region for Fake PKG Games Tutorial by Jr550
Following the previous PS4 DLC Guide, PSDLCIndex tool and Permanent PS4 Themes Guide, for those seeking to change the PlayStation 4 DLC region of PS4 Fake PKG games this is a tutorial from Jr550 on the process to quote roughly translated:

Changing the Region of DLC's for PS4 Fake PKG Games Tutorial:

First of all this tutorial works with DLC without extra files (or unlockables): It does not entail an extra file download, this is because said content is part of a game update or because it is already in the original content of the base game.

If you do not see the size of your PlayStation Store website, it is very likely that it is an unlockable and also DLC with extra files.
