Post: 3.60+ Loader Keys + PHAT Console HDD Encryption.
06-27-2013, 01:34 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); That's right people. In one day's time, the scene has been granted with not one, but TWO great accomplishments/achievements. Let me rephrase that, TWO accomplishments in one day. For those of you who don't know, I'm talking of course about the Decryption of 3.60+ Loader Keys. This was achieved with the help of Great Unicorns. It was only a few moments later where information and details on the HDD Encryption on PHAT Consoles sparked the PS3DevWiki page. This however, was achieved with the help of flatz. One thing I should probably note to you guys who don't know is that flatz is the same dev who released the PS2 Classics Algo, in case that sparks your interest.

3.60+ Loader Keys Decryption:

Starting with firmware version 3.60 loader keys have been encrypted. Look here for a tool that decrypts them. Besides that, there is an implementation of the cryptographic algorithm which is used to encrypt/decrypt lv1ldr from lv0 and root scramble key at the SPU side.

HDD Encryption for PHAT Consoles:

  • On the PHAT consoles AES-CBC-192 is used for HDD encryption and AES-CBC-128 for VFLASH encryption.
  • So no tweak and tweak key here. Each sector is encrypted with the same zeroed IV.
  • VFLASH is encrypted once with ENCDEC key and zeroed IV!
  • Data key is of size 32 bytes but only the first 24 bytes are used for HDD and 16 bytes for VFLASH.
  • See also Multiupload.nl - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites! (contains scripts of ENCDEC emulator for both types of consoles).

first thing are the scrambled keys. Sony obfuscated the keys in order to make hard our access to them. those are called scrambled keys.

second thing is hdd encryption by glevand was incomplete. partially because he only had a slim and not a phat. now it's complete.

third thing is supposedly how cobra and 3k3y takes care of the drive keys on newer consoles. they basically don't even grab the keys, and all that's needed are sv_iso keys.

About HDD encryption?

In the longrun that means you could be able to dump your drivekeys and decrypt the hdd on the PC.

So possibly altering the dev files and reinserting them into the console.

And no, we will never be able to get private keys - forget that ever happened in 3.55pre era.

As to the hdd crypto: well, it is about time that not only NOR consoles, but also NAND consoles can benefit from documentation about their encryption. In the longrun that means you could be able to dump your drivekeys and decrypt the hdd on the PC.
Ofcourse without keys you cannot get far, to give you an idea : You must login or register to view this content.

Doubt it, we may never see the days of CFW on later firmwares again but possibly we may see basic homebrew apps working on later firmwares.

EDIT: I forgot to add one more important quote from one of our devs. Thread updated Happy

I understand the cfw situation, but what does the hdd encryption mean? What could this possibly lead too? Maybe being able to search the hdd and install patches from a pc?
