Hacker CTurt updated his PS4-Playground tools for PS4, and just added a PS4 File Browser to it.
You might remember the PS4 Webkit exploit on firmware 1.76 (which was leveraging the same Webkit vulnerability as a similar PS Vita exploit). Hackers have been digging into this vulnerability over the past 10 months, and the PS4 File Browser is one of the tools resulting from the research.
PS4 File Browser
The PS4 File Browser released by CTurt lets user on PS4 1.76 Browse the PS4’s filesystem. although this will not be useful to most, and not all directories/files can actually be accessed, he mentions this lets you read save files and trophies, among other things.

Keep in mind, this is for firmwares 1.76 and lower. Trying on any other device, or an older firmware, will most likely give you an error on the page.

What does this mean for the future of PS4 hacks?
For those of you who equate every new release with a hack: PS4 File Browser is a nice tool, but is not a new hack whatsoever.
Most people on PS4 have moved on to more recent firmwares. The upcoming PS4 Firmware 3.00 has a lot of juicy features and I doubt many people are still on 1.76 today. But this is not the goal of the ongoing research: anything that get founds through reverse engineering on 1.76 could be used on future firmwares, assuming new entry points for attacks are found. CTurt has actually an
