PS3 HDD Decryption released by 'naehrwert'


Glevland famous for improving on Linux things on the PS3, had previously published some info on how 'PS3 HDD Decryption' works, but this was only available to Linux guru's, but now thanks to the info released recently regarding the EID in CEX2DEX converts, scene developer 'naehrwert' along with the help of Glevand and @flat_z have published today a POC for PS3HDD decryption.

Remember this is only a POC, but with this and all the talk I see recently in the 'PS3DevWiki', we could soon see thanks to this hard-working 'scene' developers:

a easy way to swap PS3 HDD's and access them on PC, without all the 'locks' that Sony placed on it meaning:
modifying system files could be done without FTP / CFW

nothing is confirmed yet but naehrwert is very clever with ps3 hacking.
But ye it would mean we could decrypt > modify files > encrypt

Not just yet but in time to come, since this is not a finished method and is still been worked around to find the possibilities etc!

These are source files to an application that would
use the EID root key to then generate the
ATA & ENCDEC keys for en/decryption of the VFLASH portion of the ps3's HDD.

Edit:
Looks like it may perform the decryption too.
I can't get it to work.

Edit:
From what I can tell, this code is incomplete. (Just a POC)
There are keys in the source code that are missing.
(They may be per-ps3)
