Revision as of 03:10, 20 March 2016

Most of the information we have about the sc eeprom comes from graf_chokolo reverse engineering of the HV see Hypervisor Reverse Engineering

Here is where system flags, tokens and hashes are stored.

Right now most of the communication we have with the sc eeprom is through Linux using graf_chokolo ps3dm-utils and/or using his payloads.

SC EEPROM Info

SC EEPROM from fat consoles is a custom/proprietary EEPROM chip that uses a special non standard commands to read/write from EEPROM. We are so lucky that Sony had exposed EEROM chip legs out of Syscon, so we have a physical access to it and we could attach devices like "Logic Analyzer", "Protocol Analyzer", "Custom made MCU boards" to capture traffic between console and Syscon EEPROM.

For FAT console Syscon EEPROM consists of: 0x4000 blocks, and every block is consists of 2 bytes of data. So the total EEPROM size is: 0x8000 byte length.

And since the pin-out of Syscon chip for Slim & Super Slim consoles is not known till now, we can not be sure if the Syscon EEPROM pins are exposed outside or not so we can access it like in FAT console without handling Syscon it self.

SC EEPROM Commands

FAT console's SC EEPROM used a standard SPI protocol with a proprietary commands as flow:

Description	Command	Note
Unlock Command	0xA3 0x00 0x00	This command must be send first before write command.
Write Command	0xA4 0xXX 0xXX	XX XX is a block id to be written (value 0x0000 to 0x3FFF), the maximum data to be written in one command cycle is 32 byte length (16 blocks).
Read Command	0xA8 0xXX 0xXX	XX XX is a block id to be read (value 0x0000 to 0x3FFF), there is no maximum limit for read command so we can send it once with block id 0x00 0x00 then read the full EEPROM at once without sending read command again.
Check Status Command	0xA9 0x00 0x00 0x00	The response of this command is 0xFFFFFFFF if there is no error, or any other value if there is error happened or EEPROM still busy doing something.

0x48D8E		0x50	mode_auth_data (read/cleared by ss_sc_init_pu, checked by spu_mode_auth)

In a standard mostly untouched ps3 the common value for this flags is 0xFF wich means not active, anything else means active (e.g. 0xFE)

To change this to an active status you have to write 0x00 to turn on the flag

Debug support flag is tied to EID which is supposed to be hashed and saves in SC EEPROM

QA flag is tied to QA token that is also saved in this part of the SC EEPROM

QA Token ECDSA Signature is stored in 0x48013 offset (starting from 3.60 firmwares)

Undocumented config

There is an unknown syscon response of 0x100 bytes when using NVS service with such params: BlockID=1, Offset=0, Size=0.

Authenticated Data Regions Crypto Analysis

Tests

http://i.imgur.com/A8g00bD.png <- aes 128 cbc with fixed key and incremented iv (by 1 each time)
http://i.imgur.com/HZDWGSk.png <- results
http://i.imgur.com/2mtrtdm.png region 0 encrypted vs http://i.imgur.com/7bSdQni.png decrypted
http://i.imgur.com/FGJKkuz.png region 7 encrypted vs http://i.imgur.com/7TSeHWK.png decrypted

Conclusion

different key for a different authenticated region.
sony uses either aes 128-cbc or aes 256-cbc (most likely 128-cbc)
sony does this weird cbc crypto in which they only decrypt portions of 0x10 bytes of the region, then increment or decrement (most likely increment) iv, and then decrypt again. i've decided to call it ctr-cbc
most likely the keys used are ~~session~~ perconsole keys.
most likely the iv used starts with 00, then gets incremented by 1 for each 0x10 bytes

Dumping your SC EEPROM

Linux

First you need graf_chokolo kernel ps3dm-utils and linux_hv_scripts.

If you are ready.

Patch DM using linux_hv_scripts

dmpatch.sh

Read the data from the region you want for example (see tables above)

ps3dm_scm /dev/ps3dmproxy 0x48000 0xFF

You can see some coolstuff that containing dumps

Hashes

Where exactly the hashes are stored is still a secret, it is said that those hashes are stored in SC EEPROM

To retrieve the information about the packages you have installed you can also use ps3d_utils

Linux

Installed Package info

ps3dm_um /dev/ps3dmproxy get_pkg_info TYPE

Hashes

What algorithm is used and what exactly is hashed is still unknown (seems that the content of files is hashed by the SHA-1).

ps3dm_scm /dev/ps3dmproxy get_region_data ID

These hashes are checked by lv1 to make sure that the data has not been altered through SC Manager: scm_get_region_data: get_result: ret[X]: 0x%x

Dumping SC EEPROM - hardware way

Warning
You can use this method at your own risk. Author is not responsible for any hardware damages and failures.

Bus Pirate 3 Solderless method

You need

1) PS3 motherboard with BGA syscon chip (COK001, COK002, SEM001, DIA001, etc)

2) Bus Pirate v3.6 with connectors.

3) Wires (I used AWG32 150mm with tinned ends, see below)

4) PC with OS Windows7 (Should work on other windows systems, but not tested).

5) A sharp pencil.

6) Fingers ;)

Hardware Part

Find the syscon on your PS3 motherboard.

Look at the EEPROM Pins location and Draw serifs on the upper surface of the chip, strictly on these pins using pencil.

Draw the Pinout for convenience.

Connect Bus-Pirate and AWG32 wires using probe Kit

Connect Bus-Pirate to the EEPROM Pins using the folowing table:

Bus Pirate pin	EEPROM pin
CLK	SKB
CS	CSB
MOSI	DI
MISO	DO
3V3	RBB
GND	Any Ground Point

Use 1 finger to hold the wires. The wires should be well connected with the eeprom pins.

Connect Bus-Pirate to you PC with Windows7 by USB.

Software Part

Big thanks to Dasanko for the hard work and for the Syscon Flasher GUI Tool!!!

Download and Install the driver for Bus-Pirate.

Download link: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM%20v2.12.00%20WHQL%20Certified.exe

Open the Device Manager and find the port number of your USB Serial Port.

Download and Run Syscon Flasher.exe

Download link: https://mega.co.nz/#!clljxQgQ!vE93p35DJ9-FMKuxpev3zZvPBnxP_IQscPSXK9ocmH8

MD5=D59A8AA9E7BB1AEB753D7C6391CE17B1

There are 6 simple steps to obtain the dump.

1) Select the correct USB Serial Port for Bus-Pirate.

2) Press "Send settings to device" button. If done correctly, then "Mode" Led on the Bus Pirate will be Green.

3) Press "Power on" button. If done correctly, then "VREG" Led on the Bus Pirate will be Red.

4) Press "Browse" button and specify location and file name for your syscon eeprom dump.

5) Specify Offset and Length. Offset=0 Length=0x8000 for full dump the eeprom.

6) Press "Fast Read" button and wait about 15sec.

Enjoy:

Bus Pirate 3 method by: (Zer0Tolerance)

You need

1) PS3 motherboard. I am using DIA-001. may be we can dump it from another boards, but it is unknown yet.

2) Device that can work with SPI interface and send any commands. I am using a Bus Pirate v3.6 with connectors.

3) Soldering station.

4) Wires (see below).

5) Personal conputer with installed HxD, Putty (or other terminal supporting serial port connections, e.g.:Tera Term) , Notepad++

6) /dev/Hands ;)

Preparation

Find the test points on the motherboard using this picture.

All points are covered with varnish. You need to carefully remove the varnish to the copper and solder the wires to it.

Attach a Bus Pirate to the wires using the following table:

Bus Pirate pin	Test Point
CLK	SKB
CS	CSB
MOSI	DI
MISO	DO
3V3	WCB, RBB
GND	Any Ground Point

Make sure that the battery is attached to the motherboard.

Plug your Bus pirate to the USB port on your PC using mini_USB_to_USB cable. (I am using the cable from the ps3 gamepad)

It should be done like this, see the following picture:

Setup software

1) Install the driver for the Bus Pirate and setup your virtual COM port for it using following table:

Parameter	Value
Bits per second	115200
Data bits	8
Parity	None
Stop bits	1
Flow control	None

Open Putty and set it up:

session params:

connection type: Serial

Serial line: COM3 (choose your virtual COM port)

Speed (baud rate): 115200

Logging params:

Session logging: All session output

Log file name: click Browse button and specify your logfile, for example: C:\PS3\Logs\logfile.log

Now click Open button and setup mode for bus pirate using following commands:

Command	Description
m	(mode)
5	(SPI)
4	(Set speed: 1MHz)
2	(Clock polarity: Idle high)
1	(Output clock edge: Idle to active
1	(Input sample phase: Middle *default)
2	(CS: /CS)
2	(Select output type: Normal (H=3.3V, L=GND))

Enable 3.3V: Just type: W (big leter) and press Enter.

Obtain the dump

Type: [0xa8 0x00 0x00 r:32768] and press Enter.

Wait until dumping process will be completed and close Putty.

Thats all. The dump must be into your logfile.log

You can use Notepad++ and Hex Editor like HxD to convert the dump to binary format.

Read Command is 0xA8 0xXX 0xXX, XX XX is a block id to be read, the full EEPROM is 32768 bytes lenght (0x8000), [r:] are syntax command of the Bus Pirate for start, read byte and end

Arduino Mega method by: (Abkarino)

 I had build my own Syscon EEPROM flasher based on open source hardware "Arduino Mega" and some resistors.

This flasher will allow you fully read/write to your Syscon EEPROM (FAT consoles only till now).

You need

1) PS3 motherboard. I had used SEM-0001 board by desoldering Syscon chip form it but you can use, DIA-001 for example without desoldering Syscon chip since all eeprom pins had a test points in the board it self.

2) Arduino Mega or any Arduino board.

3) 6 x 3.6 KOHM resistors + 6 x 1.8 KOHM resistors (work together as a voltage dividers since Arduino IO logic is 5.0v and Syscon EEPROM IO Logic is 3.3v).

4) Soldering station.

5) Wires & Bread board (Optional).

6) Any PC that have terminal software like Putty, RealTerm and so on to access serial port, and any Hex Editor like HxD.

Preparation

Find the test points on the motherboard using this picture.

Or if you have a very good soldering skills and tools to desolder your SysCon then you can desolder your SysCon and solder your wires to it directly.

All points are covered with varnish. You need to carefully remove the varnish to the copper and solder the wires to it.

Attach a Arduino Mega to the wires using the following table:

Arduino Mega pin	Test Point	Syscon Pin
SCL (52)	SKB	E16
SS (53)	CSB	F16
MOSI (51)	DI	G16
MISO (50)	DO	H16
WP (48)	WCB	J15
RB (49)	RBB	J16
VCC (3.3v)	Not needed if you used battery power	G11
GND	Any Ground Point	C15

Make sure that the battery is attached to the motherboard if you will dump/flash SysCon EEPROM in board.
