The PS4 scene has had a slower take off than most, due to all the releases of exploits always being on lower FW. So it misses a lot of users and doesn’t raise the eyebrows out of you-know-who but this time most people knew to stay on something lower than 4.05 or 4.07 as exploits were mentioned for that firmware a few times.
Hopefully, you stayed at 4.05 FW and can use the kernel exploit that was just released around Christmas time. This time we have developers Flatz sharing and easier way to trigger Homebrew execution on the PS4. If you have firmware 405.
