Do you just want to hack your PS4?

Note: It's is highly recommended you stay in the lowest exploitable firmware as you can. The higher you go above 5.05, the lower you odds of successfully running the exploit each attempt gets as well as the lower the overall stability and homebrew compatibility will be.

For firmware 7.50-7.55 you can use sleirsgoevy's host

Go here if you're on firmware 7.02. sleirsgoevy's host

Start here if you're on firmware 6.72: PS4 Jailbreak Guide - 6.72 Exploit

Start here if you're on firmware 5.05: PS4 Jailbreak Guide - HEN Exploit on 5.05

If you're on firmware 8.00+ there are no public exploits at this time. No one knows when or if one will be released.
