Editing SELF - SPRX

{{Wikify}}

SELF stands for Signed Executable and Linkable Format. It is the format used by the executables on the PS3 and PS Vita.

= Introduction =

It consists of an extended header followed by the encapsulated ELF file. ELF segments can be compressed using gzip. System and NPDRM SELFs are encrypted and signed and are decrypted in memory. ELF sections might be encrypted using AES CTR (maybe more algos?) and signed using ECDSA + HMAC-SHA1. It has a specific header here called Extended header where it stores all the parameters for this process.

*Extended Header
It consist on information regarding the structure and offsets of the self. The first part is in plaintext until you reach Encryption Root Header.

*Encryption Root Header
Encryption Root Header is itself encrypted under AES 256 CBC. This part contains KEY + IV to further decrypt the header using AES 128 CTR.

*Metadata
The Certification Header, Metadata Section Headers, Section Hash, Capabilities and Signature are under this AES 128 CTR layer and is decrypted with the key above.

*Certification Header
Certification Header contains the info required to authenticate the header and the structure of the metadata. The signature is ECDSA of the SHA1 hash of the self file starting at 0x0 and ending at 0x0+signatureInputLength

*Data Sections
The data sections might be encrypted using AES 128 CTR and/or compressed. HMAC-SHA1 is used to authenticate they have not been modified.

= Cryptography =

Here is a small summary on how the self cryptography works. 

Basically here are the steps being involved by the loaders: 

Loaders all have a static key and iv called respectively <abbr title="ERK - 256bit Encryption Round Key">erk</abbr> and <abbr title="RIV - 128bit Reset Initialization Vector">riv</abbr>, those are keys for the first decryption step which are used to decrypt the very first 0x40 bytes of the self's metadata using <abbr title="AES256CBC - Advanced Encryption Standard - 256 bit - Cipher-block chaining">AES256CBC</abbr>

Then the result is used as a key and iv to decrypt the rest of the metadata using <abbr title="AESCTR - Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter Mode">AESCTR</abbr>, finally the decrypted metadata contains the keys and iv for each data sections which are still decrypted through AES128CTR. This security model is based on the fact that the first 0x40 bytes of the self's metadata once decrypted by the static AES256CBC key in the loader should never be the same from one binary to the other. The same goes for any other value used as an AES128CTR key or iv. 

Loaders are also involved with inflating the binaries using zlib. 

The self authenticity is based on other independent steps, <abbr title="HMAC-SHA1 - Hash-based Message Authentication Code - Secure Hash Algorithm 1">HMAC-SHA1</abbr> of the data sections and <abbr title="ECDSA - Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm">ECDSA</abbr> for the actual signature in the header.

= File Format =

Notes:
* Warning: PS3 uses big endian, PSVita uses little endian.
* Encapsulated ELF header fields are useless (only the EI_CLASS EI_DATA and EI_VERSION fields are checked)

== PS3 early type 3 SELFs ==
<pre>
SDK 0.60: No sce version and digest
SDK 0.8X: No sce version, with 0x30 digest
SDK 0.9X: With sce version and 0x40 digest (scetool produces this type)
</pre>

== Extended Header ==

Extended Header offsets are relative to Certified File start.

=== Comments ===

The real ELF data is located after the extended header (see header size). It is encrypted, unless attribute is 0x8000. unfself works by cutting the SCE header from the (fake)SELF and if needed decompressing sections.

== Program Extended Header ==

A table which maps each phdr entry to the actual offset/size within the encrypted CF. Indeed, because sections can be compressed, they might not match the values listed within the ELF phdr/shdr.

There is one of these entries (Section/Segment Information) for each ELF phdr (Program Header) entry in the ELF file so that the console knows where to decrypt the data from (because it might also be compressed).

=== Comments ===

Notes: 
*This struct is some optional_header.
*It contains capability flags also known as encrypted_capability.

== Signature ==

=== Struct ===

<source lang="C">
 typedef struct {
  uint8_t r[21];
  uint8_t s[21];
  uint8_t padding[6];
 } __attribute__((packed)) SIGNATURE;
</source>

=== Comments ===

Notes:
*The signature is located after the the signature information in the SELF file. 
*It is even present if the signature information is not present. 
*It is decrypted using AES128CTR with the key and ivec entries from the Encryption Root Header.

== Segment Extended Header ==

Temp name was SELF Section Info. Official name is segment_ext_header.

=== Struct ===

<source lang="C">
typedef struct {
  void *data;
  uint64_t size;
  uint64_t offset;
} segment_ext_header;
</source>

= Extracting an ELF<br> =

=== ELF Header ===

 Elf64_Ehdr elfHeader;
 
 fseek ( selfFile, fix64 ( selfHeader.elfHeaderOffset ), SEEK_SET );
 fread ( &amp;elfHeader, sizeof ( Elf64_Ehdr ), 1, selfFile );
 
 fseek ( elfFile, 0, SEEK_SET );
 fwrite ( &amp;elfHeader, sizeof ( Elf64_Ehdr ), 1, elfFile );

=== Section Headers ===

 Elf64_Shdr elfSectionHeaders[100];
 
 fseek ( selfFile, fix64 ( selfHeader.elfSectionHeadersOffset ), SEEK_SET );
 fread ( elfSectionHeaders, sizeof ( Elf64_Shdr ), fix16 ( elfHeader.e_shnum ), selfFile );
 
 fseek ( elfFile, fix64 ( elfHeader.e_shoff ), SEEK_SET );
 fwrite ( elfSectionHeaders, sizeof ( Elf64_Shdr ), fix16 ( elfHeader.e_shnum ), elfFile );

=== Section Data ===

Notes: 
*Unknown, manually copying the data over works for now. 
*There should be a section data offset somewhere.

=== Program Headers ===

 Elf64_Phdr elfProgramHeaders[100];
 
 fseek ( selfFile, fix64 ( selfHeader.elfProgramHeadersOffset ), SEEK_SET );
 fread ( elfProgramHeaders, sizeof ( Elf64_Phdr ), fix16 ( elfHeader.e_phnum ), selfFile );
 
 fseek ( elfFile, fix64 ( elfHeader.e_phoff ), SEEK_SET );
 fwrite ( elfProgramHeaders, sizeof ( Elf64_Phdr ), fix16 ( elfHeader.e_phnum ), elfFile );

=== Program Data ===

Notes:
*Load the Encryption Root Header and decrypt the key and ivec entries using AES256CBC using erk and riv. 
*Load the Certification Header and decrypt it using AES128CTR with the key and ivec entries from the Encryption Root Header.
*Load sectionCount metadata section headers and decrypt them using AES128CTR with the key and ivec entries from the Encryption Root Header. 
*Load keyCount metadata keys and decrypt them using AES128CTR with the key and ivec entries from the Encryption Root Header. 
*For each metadata section: 
**In the SELF file, fseek to dataOffset and read in dataSize bytes. 
**Decrypt the data using AES128CTR with the key and ivec from the metadata keys specified by keyIndex and ivecIndex from the metadata section header. 
**Uncompress the data using zlib. 
**Write it to the ELF file as the program section specified by section Index in the metadata section header.

=== Meta Checksums ===

There are 3 checksums at the offset specified by meta_offset.

*The first is the sha1 checksum of the entire self file. 
*The 2nd checksum is the inverse of the first checksum. 
*The 3rd checksum is the first checksum XORed with 0xAAAAAA..AAAAAB 

The PSJailbreak payload ignores the actual checksums, but checks that the 3rd checksum is the 2nd checksum XORed with 0xAAAAAA..AAAAAB
