so you can get a theoretical understanding, on how you could call a CCAPI Syscall.

CCAPI uses a unique PPC instruction that it implemented it. I named it "ccsc" as it works similarly to "sc" the syscall instruction in PPC. Here is the HEX value that represents "ccsc".

R3 or the first argument will be the value of the Command ID that will be processed by a kernel in a function implemented by CCAPI.<br>
CCAPI Syscalls do not seem use R11 to provide a syscall number like LV2 syscalls do. Not every function of CCAPI is called through its<br>
own environment. CCAPI makes a lot of use of regular LV2 Syscalls like RingBuzzer, Shutdown, or ControlLED. It only makes use of its own<br>
environment, when these LV2 functions are not available for all environments. (WriteProcessMemory, ReadProcessMemory in CEX for example.)<br>
We cannot say how exactly CCAPI initializes itself and its environment, however, I (PHTNC) believe, that CCAPI probably takes a similar approach like Mamba.<br>
Right now, I cannot say, which system file(s) CCAPI does modify to load itself. Mamba for example loads itself from a modified sys_init_osd.self file.<br>
Cobra loads itself from lv2kernel.self.<br>
== TheRouLetteBois Writeup ==
jo-milk and I were the ones that dumped enstones menus. I was requested to stay anonymous with related to the crack and in the credits (fuck it I guess).  Milk was the one that found that custom syscall instruction by crashing into a specific packet in the switch case then looking at the call stack and I did the kernel research.
The way enstones custom instruction works is that he hooks where exceptions are handled and that way he checks for invalid instruction exception and proceeds to validate his specific instruction.
At this location is where you will find the ccapi sycall switch case 0x8000000000691840
In reference the the offset above it is for lv2 4.84 dex with ccapi 2.80 rev5. The offset changes on each console boot but it should be relatively easy to find by searching for one of the syscall commands like 0x977. The method used to block TMAPI and CCAPI is by returning 0 in GetProcessList function in the kernel.
In relation to CCAPI VSH plugin since Milk found where "ccapi syscall" was located at we decided to hook into it using HookFunctionStart. So I went and bought a FMT mod menu "Fury" and decided to inject it while having the hook active. That way I was able to log all the parameters for each ccapi syscall command that the Fury menu used.
After a dozen dumps we got an error saying "An error occurred while starting menu: 70000006" which I believe means we got blacklisted because I ended up buying the same menu with a different account which allowed me to inject the menu again. To this day my first account I used to inject the menus is unable to use fury. While researching CCAPI I wanted to know how ccapi injected and started the mod menu. So the process goes as followed
1) ccapi plugin calls CCAPIEnableSysCall
2) downloads the files from FMT servers
3) CCAPIAllocatePage is called with file size
4) CCAPIWriteProcessMemory is called to write the downloaded file into the allocated page memory address. Each write memory has the size of 0x6000 until the menu is fully written into memory.
5) CCAPICreateProcessThread is called to start the mod menu thread aka payload
Once I knew how ccapi injected the menus I wanted to see if I could do it using my own syscalls. So I created syscall 207 in kernel to invoke the following functions create_process_thread, get_process_module_info, set_process_memory,  get_process_memory, process_page_allocate. After that I was using FMT menus using my own syscalls and that inspired adding these functions into COBRA 8.1. A note about set_process_memory before COBRA 8.1 the method used to write memory was essentially a memcpy (copy_to_process) which meant when writing into protected memory (eg: RX) would result in a crash in the game OS. I went and took a look into old ccapi versions 2.50 then searched for syscall 201 and saw that it used process_write_memory which means the memory address maps lpar then memcpy's causing it to bypass the write protection.
When install CCAPI you get a config file. In 2.60 the file was located in /dev_flash/sys/internal/config.cfg but since 2.70 the path has been changed to /dev_flash2/config.cfg and appears to be encrypted,
Since ccapi 2.80 rev6 and above enstone has completely gotten rid of the custom instruction 0xEF455314. In kernel there have been massive changes, he now deletes the initializing of hooks and function setup including the opd sections of the code which is much harder to reverse engineer. In the CCAPI VSH plugin he did some similar things like applying anti debugging techniques.
Moving forward what can we do reverse engineer the new updates of ccapi example ccapi rev6 and above? I was thinking just like the cobra payload ccapi must have a similar payload located somewhere in the ps3 file system and knowing enstone it will likely be encrypted so if we find we will need to decrypt the payload then having ccapi easier to reverse engineer. To get the payload file  we could hook into cellFsOpen in kernel and see which files are being read and hopefully find the payload.

These are the Command IDs for CCAPI's Syscall system. Like mentioned above, the Command IDs are passed to Register R3.<br>
R3 or the first argument will be the value of the Command ID that will be processed by a kernel in a function implemented by CCAPI.
Then the parameters are passed from left to right to a higher and higher register. See the code examples above.

As you can see, sys_ccapi_call function makes use of the syscall instruction.<br>
Do not call these functions yet, we need to patch them first.<br>

        }
        else if (*(uint32_t *)(address) == 0x44000002) // 44000002 sc
        {
            break;
        }
        else
        {
            address = (address + 0x4); // 0x4 for each instruction
        }
    }
    return address;

== How does the custom CPU instruction work? ==
This is a writeup by PHTNC, I can't say if this is the exact way on how it works, I assume this is how it works.<br>
Some people might be wondering, how did Enstone implement a custom CPU instruction that the CPU actually understands?<br>
While the PS3 OS is closed source and seems to look like to be a completely different OS than what we know today (Linux, BSD, macOS, Windows)<br>
CellOS (PS3 OS Name) is actually a fork of Free- and NetBSD. So it contains stuff that are also present in different Unix OS'.<br>
You have to imagine it like that, the OS and CPU communicate with each other and tell each other on what's valid and what's invalid running on the CPU.<br>
This also goes for instructions. That means, when for example the CPU reads an (for the CPU) invalid instruction in kernel or process space, it tells the OS that it has no clue what this is,<br>
it proceeds to "ask" the OS if the OS knows what the instruction means. In normal cases, the OS doesn't know either what the read instruction means.<br>
At this point, it depends on what OS you're on. In regular Unix systems like Linux or BSD, a system exception called SIGILL (SIGnal ILLegal instruction) is raised.<br>
The OS sends a SIGILL Signal to the affected process, this causes the process to terminate itself immediately, signals like that cannot be caught by the process.<br>
CCAPI probably hooks a function in the area, where the SIGILL signal is handled and checks if the invalid instruction is 0xEF455314.<br>
If the hooked function sees, that the CPU hit 0xEF455314, then it proceeds to read a value from register R3 and makes a switch on that value.<br>
Then it starts executing a CCAPI function and proceeds with the normal code execution once CCAPI finished executing its own functions.<br>
If the hooked function sees another invalid instruction other than 0xEF455314, it will send a SIGILL signal to the affected process.
