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?

PSDLCIndex: PlayStation Store PS4 DLC Indexer by GarnetSunset
Earlier this month we saw a PS4Updates Python script, and recently PlayStation 4 developer GarnetSunset (Twitter) made available a PlayStation Store DLC Index script tool called psDLCIndex which can be used to scrape / download PS4 PKG downloadable content.

PS4 CUH-2200 New Model Revision Surfaces on Sony Japanese Store
While it's not an FCC leak this time, a new PS4 model revision CUH-2200BB01 was spotted on Sony's Japanese Store available in both a 1 TB version for 34,980 yen (around $311.20 USD) and a 500 GB version for 29,980 yen (around $266.71 USD).

According to DualShockers.com the new PlayStation 4 console's price, weight, size and power consumption specifications appear unchanged, who also stated the following to quote:

"This, alongside the fact that only the second digit of the model number was changed, indicates a minor revision in the internal components that is normally implemented to lower manufacturing costs.
Access the PS4's Hard Drive (HDD) on 5.05 Guide by MODDEDWARFARE
This weekend @MODDEDWARFARE shared a video guide from his YouTube Channel via Twitter covering some handy things that can be accomplished with FTP on PS4 including how to add your own profile picture, edit your trophy summary, backup save games along with deleting and blocking updates on 5.05 jailbroken consoles.

Since his PS4 Theme Creator guide, he's also recently detailed how to jailbreak a Nintendo Switch with free Custom Firmware (CFW) for everyone who owns one of those handheld video game consoles too.
PS4 5.05 Kernel Exploit Writeup Documentation by SpecterDev
As he did with the 4.05 Kernel Exploit and 4.55 WebKit Exploit, following the initial announcement and 5.05 Kernel Exploit release PlayStation 4 developer @SpecterDev has now made available via Twitter a writeup documenting his PS4 5.05 Kernel Exploit for others to examine and learn from.

To quote from the PS4 5.05 BPF Double Free Kernel Exploit Writeup.md on Github, in part: Conclusion

Another cool bug to exploit. It should have been a trivial exploit, however Sony's new mitigation that prevents exploit devs from pivoting RSP into userland memory while in kernel context is quite effective, and some tricks had to be used to get the chain into kernel memory - but as demonstrated, it is beatable.
