ELF BUILDER
Use this tool to rebuild an ELF file from Graf_Chokolo's SELF decrypter

Howto :
Once decrypted by Graf's payload, a SELF/NPDRM file will give you 2 parts:
- xxxxx.0 Decrypted code segment
- xxxxx.1 Decrypted data segment

To rebuild the ELF file, you will need the original SELF file
The result ELF file will be ready for your preferred disassembler (ie. IDA)
It also enables to feed tools like MAKESELF, ...

Usage:

./ELF_builder [in: SELF] [in: DUMP.0] [in: DUMP.1] [out: ELF]

ie.:

./ELF_builder EBOOT.BIN dump_sonic4.0 dump_sonic4.1 EBOOT.ELF

This is a RC version, please send email for remarks, bugs or improvements heden_delight AT hushmail.me

Dedicated to GRAF_CHOKOLO and THERULER

anyone kown how to use Graf_Chokolo's SELF/NPDRM decrypter payload? I think it only work on 3.41 using the dongle, I don't know about 3.55... the nfo says: Dedicated to GRAF_CHOKOLO - Greetings to BELMONDO (BETA tester)

I don't know if he is the same user of PS3 news... I hope so someone can explain us.

[TheBlack]

great job, now the tool (version 1.2) it is more simple. the problem is the Graf_Chokolo's SELF decrypter payload. no info about it, so for me the utility is useless.

I hope someone explain something about payload for using this great tool.

Finally a nice little app thats in English, haha. Not too familiar with chok payloads though. Never used them whatsoever.
