Editing HDD Encryption/Decryption

[[Category:Linux]]
=Introduction=

* The goal is to mount a PS3 HDD on a FreeBSD PC (or FreeBSD PS3) and do changes to it without ENCDEC device.
* And learn the cool FreeBSD GEOM framework as well :)
* Everything was tested by me on FreeBSD 9.1.

=GEOM bswap16=

* Swaps bytes in every 16-bit word
* Similar to dm-bswap16 on Linux.
* The kernel module needs a user-space GEOM counterpart,  a shared library which is loaded and used by '''geom''' application to send commands to the kernel part.

==Test==

<pre>
# UI shared library for GEOM bswap16

cp geom_bswap16.so /lib/geom

# Load kernel module

kldload geom_bswap16.ko

# Create a memory block device for testing

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f ~/test.bin -u 0

# Create /dev/md0.bswap16

geom bswap16 create /dev/md0

hexdump -C /dev/md0

geom bswap16 destroy md0.bswap16

mdconfig -d -u 0
</pre>

=GEOM geli=

* Problem: how to set masterkey in GELI ?
* GEOM geli is a wrong approach and won't work. We need a new GEOM class for PS3 HDD decryption !!!

=GEOM AES-XTS=

* Use opencrypto framework for AES-XTS algorithm.

<pre>
mdconfig -a -t vnode -f  ~/ps3da_enc.bin -u 1

geom bswap16 create md1

geom aes_xts create -k hdd_key.bin /dev/md1.bswap1

ls -l /dev/md1.bswap1.aes_xts

sudo dd if=/dev/md1.bswap16.aes_xts bs=512 count=1 | hexdump -C
