==dm-crypt==
* We don't need xts_aes application anymore.
* Linux kernel does enctyption/decryption of data transparently for us.
* One of the device mapper features is that it's stackable which is very useful for us.
* VFLASH is encrypted twice. So we have to create a second DM crypto target based on the DM crypto target for HDD.
===HDD Test===
* Tested on PS3 itself with Debian LiveCD and Linux kernel version 3.4.10 but you can use the same technique on a Linux PC. I was just lazy and it is easier to test on PS3.

=PS3 HDD Partition Table=
==dm-crypto==
 
* Now that we can decrypt/encrypt PS3 HDD with Linux, we want to be able to mount HDD/VFLASH regions because only then we can do changes to UFS or FAT filesystems on the HDD.
* We have to implement PS3 HDD partition table in Linux kernel.
* The Linux kernel with this feature will create all partition devices automatically in this case and we could mount and modify any HDD regions easily.
* A new Linux kernel patch is necessary.
* PS3 partition table is of size 0x1000 bytes.
* Implemented PS3 partition support in Linux kernel. See patch '''0035-ps3-partition.patch''' here http://gitorious.ps3dev.net/ps3linux/kernel-patches-35
* Use kpartx tool to reread partition table.
==Structure==
<pre>
#define MAX_ACL_ENTRIES 8
#define MAX_PARTITIONS 8
 
#define MAGIC1 0x0FACE0FFULL
#define MAGIC2 0xDEADFACEULL
 
struct p_acl_entry {
u64 laid;
u64 rights;
};
 
struct d_partition {
u64 p_start;
u64 p_size;
struct p_acl_entry p_acl[MAX_ACL_ENTRIES];
};
 
struct disklabel {
u8 d_res1[16];
u64 d_magic1;
u64 d_magic2;
u64 d_res2;
u64 d_res3;
struct d_partition d_partitions[MAX_PARTITIONS];
u8 d_pad[0x600 - MAX_PARTITIONS * sizeof(struct d_partition)- 0x30];
};
</pre>
 
==kpartx==
 
* kpartx is a tool which reads partition tables and creates device maps.
* We need kpartx in order to be able to create partitions from device mapper targets.
* But kpartx doesn't support PS3 partition table currently.
* We need a patch which adds PS3 partition table support.
* Official GIT repo: http://git.opensvc.com/multipath-tools/.git
* '''PS3 partition table support is upstream now, you don't have to patch it anymore !!!'''

Now we can mount any PS3 HDD regions on PC :)
Linux kernel device mapper is a really great feature.

=Making Changes to cell_ext_os_area VFLASH Region=
 
* Here is one of the use cases for your dumped HDD and VFLASH keys.
* It's the VFLASH region where petitboot is stored.
* Useful for OtherOS++ users.
* You will need it if you flash bad petitboot which doesn't boot and just hangs.
* You have to connect your HDD to your PC, e.g. with SATA-2-USB adapter.
* We will clear OtherOS boot flag and GameOS will boot again.
* We don't have to decrypt VFLASH, only HDD, because cell_ext_os_area is NOT encrypted with VFLASH key, only with HDD key.
* I tested everything myself, it's safe to use.
 
<pre>
modprobe dm_mod
insmod dm-bswap16
 
# On my PC, sdd is the PS3 HDD connected through SATA-USB adapater
 
hdd_size=`blockdev --getsize /dev/sdd`
 
echo "0 $hdd_size bswap16 /dev/sdd" | dmsetup create hdd
 
echo <your data key as hex string> <your tweak key as hex string> | xxd -r -p > hdd_key.bin
 
cryptsetup create -c aes-xts-plain64 -d ./hdd_key.bin -s 256 hdd_crypt /dev/mapper/hdd
 
kpartx-ps3 -a /dev/mapper/hdd_crypt
 
# cell_ext_os_area starts at offset 0xe740000 on VFLASH
 
# first dump os area parameters
# it begins at offset 0xe740200
 
dd if=/dev/mapper/hdd_crypt1 of=params.bin bs=1 count=512 skip=$((0xe740200))
 
# now clear the boot flag
# just make the first 4 bytes in params.bin all 0s
 
# now we write it back
 
dd of=/dev/mapper/hdd_crypt1 if=params.bin bs=1 count=512 seek=$((0xe740200))
 
sync
 
# clean up everything before disconnecting PS3 HDD
 
kpartx-ps3 -d /dev/mapper/hdd_crypt
dmsetup remove hdd_crypt
dmsetup remove hdd
 
# now GameOS should boot and you can flash a new petitboot :)
 
# you also could write new petitboot image to VFLASH :)
</pre>
 
=Further Work=
 
* Encryption/decryption of HDD on FreeBSD using geli framework.
