How exactly is a PS3 save decrypted (by a program), and how can it be decrypted without a program, can it be decrypted with a hex editor alone, or has it got to do with discovering your console ID & account ID and implanting them into the save?
Please can someone clarify?
I'm hoping the same steps also apply for the PS Vita, and I'd like to improve my limited knowledge on encryption in order to get somewhere with it, but I have no idea where to start.
Would reincrypting/rehashing a save file be the reverse step of decrypting? I don't even know where to start with any of this...
Thanks
The saves can be decrypted/modified but its a complex process which i dont understand completely.
Your PARAM.SFO file in any account registered on your ps3 system will contain the PSID/CID which you must use to update/assign your save, so it can used on the system.
Bruteforce is the best option as startup for understanding the basics and will do everything you expect.
As for encryption/hash, i have no idea.
