Some exciting news came our way earlier; an upset "Sony" employee has released very detailed information involving the inner workings of the PS4. Although not really useful to the average scener, in the right hands this could be extremely useful. At the same time sharing this information publicly could perhaps put the said individual at an extreme risk, and they would prefer to remain as anonymous as possible.

Instead, we have shared the information in our private dev forums, and all those with the developer badge have be able to look and take a peek at this exclusive information. In only a few hours, two developers (who would like to remain as anonymous as well) here at the site were able to come up with the first working viable PS4 homebrew solution, and have been able to launch their own code. After some testing they think they are ready the share with you all what they have achieved so far...

This download includes instructions as well as links to the various tools required to pull this off, as well on information how to obtain dev status and see the leaked insider information for yourself.

Note: If all goes smooth over the next 24 hours, the "Sony" employee has said he will leak the information to other scene sites as well, such as Kotaku.com

Note 2: This thread will remain closed for discussion, and it will only contain updated information pertaining to the download above; if you wish to contribute, please see the download to find out how you can help.

UPDATE 1: A method for Dumping PS Vita Games via PS4 has been added, along with more methods to unlock your PS4. Download link above.

UPDATE 2: First PS4 Backup Launched! (NOTE: Due to current understanding, shared backups are not playable because of the per-system key required for the console to authorize each disc for play... BUT, at least now their is an option to play your games disc-less and from an external drive). More information will be added when the developers feel it is ready. For now, the download has been updated again to include the latest links and tools required.

UPDATE 3: I have went ahead and added a direct download link for all non-members... this way even those having trouble signing up for an account can view this information.

UPDATE 4: This will probably be the last update for the night, but it is an incredible one. PS Vita backup support has been enabled, and shared backups are working as well. Only time will tell if we see PS Vita backup support on the PS Vita... but for now, Sony, all your base are belong to us. Ha ha...
