(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey im wondering how you would go about decrypting a archive.dat file to find the console id because my friend gave me 4 archive.dat files that each contain a console id and would like to know how to find it. So far i have it in hex editor but cant figure where to go from there. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

never listen about a archive.dat..consoleids are only on flash dump..EID0-EID5 region..you can dump it with pslight if you have a cfw..or memorydump..

You cant get it from a consoleID. You would have to decrypt it with Salsa20 and the 256 bit key.

when i throw into hex i get this:

thats only a little of it but yeah he said that its encrypted in this file and his friend that usually decrypts for him hasnt been on so he just gave his archives to me to give it a whirl. So I was just wondering if anyone knows how. thanks for your reply though.

i have four files named archive.dat, archive_00.dat, archive2.dat and archive2_00.dat he said that the conole id is encrypted within those and that i have to hex edit them to decrypt; I now have them in hex form but cant figure out how to decrypt them to determine what the console id is. lol thanks though!!

you cant dump the consoleid from \PS3\EXPORT\BACKUP\

the 4 files you mean called archive.dat archive_00.dat archive2.dat and archive2???

he just sent me those archives through skype and said that youll have to decrypt them with hxd to get the console id but i dont see how its possible

sorry dude..these files are only a backup for trophy or savegames and dlc etc etc..but no system information like consoleid or else..

alright lol luckily i didnt have my hopes up to high

You could try to get it because it imports the console ID into the backup but if you decrypt with salsa20 in C# you could prob find it..... we just need the key.... thats where we are stuck

thatd be pretty damn awesome is there anyway to get the key?
