44w ago - Following up on the previous work by PlayStation 3 developer Graf Chokolo, today naehrwert has announced news of a PS3 HDD decryption proof-of-concept (PoC) from a PC as a result of reverse-engineering work done by flat_z and glevand.

Below are the details (via ps3devwiki.com/wiki/HDD_Encryption), to quote:

Introduction

• The following information was reverse engineered from LV1, Storage Manager in LPAR1 and sb_iso_spu_module.self.
  
• I'm able to decrypt/encrypt my PS3 HDD and VFLASH on PC now.
  

HDD Encryption

• XTS-AES-128 is used to encrypt all data on PS3 HDD.
  
• XTS is NOT CBC!!! It's AES-ECB with tweak XORing. AES-CBC is impractical for HDD encryption. Each sector can be encrypted/decrypted independantly from other HDD sectors.
  
• Good paper about XTS-AES: ntnu.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:347753/FULLTEXT01
  
• VFLASH is encrypted twice. First with ENCDEC keys and then with...

48w ago - Shortly following his last release, today PlayStation 3 developer PsDev has now updated PS3Tools GUI Edition to version 3.0 which now adds PS3 SPU emulation, SELF decryption and Debug PKG decryption as detailed below.

Download: PS3Tools GUI Edition v3.0

To quote: Hi everyone, here with a new update to my program. Added SPU Emulation, Self Decryption and debug pkg decryption. Along with more accurate loading bars and a interface change to pkg tool, spu emulation, self decryption, edat tool.

• SPU emulation added
  
• Debug PKG decryption added
  
• SELF decryption added
  
• Logging Errors/successes added to EDAT tool
  
• Logging Errors/succession added to PKG tool
  
• Loading bars code adjustment, more accurate now
  

Originally by KDSBest, SPU emulation has been incorporated in my GUI. It was quite easy, we both coded our programs in C# (Sharp) so I didn't really have much trouble.

Self decryption is know possible. Just browse for your self/bin file...

51w ago - Today developer PsDev has updated PS3Tools GUI Edition v2.0 to version 2.1, which now includes PlayStation 3 Retail PKG decryption and extraction.

Download: PS3Tools GUI Edition v2.1 / PS3Tools GUI Edition v2.1 (Mirror)

To quote: The major addition is a Retail PKG decryption and extraction tool. I also removed the extra tools as it wasn't needed, and wasted space, most external programs are gonna be taken out and be coded so it's internal. That way space, folder size and your Computers memory is more free.

I need to thank math because, this uses his AES engine and without it I would have had to code one on my own. (Don't worry I had his permission). It was truly a pain incorporating this into my program, much harder than the EDAT tools.
Changelog v2.1:

• Decryption of Retail PKG
  
• Extraction of Retail PKG
  
• Bug fixes
  
• Removed external programs

56w ago - Following up on the previous PS3 EDAT File Name Restorer utility, today PlayStation 3 homebrew developers Snowydew and KDSBest have made available some PS3 EDAT NPDRM Decryption / Re-Encryption Tools.

To quote: Over on gotbrew irc we were dropped off some stuff from snowydew.

The tools allow for decryption and re encryption of edat, can perform iso.bin.edat extraction, can further decrypt eboot.pbp's / eboot.bins for further game modifiying.

Decryption of act.dat and rif keys,...
