Introduction

  • The goal is to mount PS3 HDD on PC Linux and make changes to it.
  • Use device mapper for transparent encryption/decryption.

ATA and ENCDEC Keys

See http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/HDD_Encryption

Device Mapper

  • A really cool feature of Linux 2.6/3.
  • The device mapper is stackable.
  • You have to enable a couple of new kernel features like device mapper crypto, XTS crypto and so on.

dm-bswap16

  • Swaps bytes in each 16-bit word.
  • It is necessray for HDD/VFLASH encryption/decryption.
  • Tested on Linux 3.5.3

GIT repo: http://gitorious.ps3dev.net/ps3linux/dm-bswap16

Test

modprobe loop
modprobe dm_mod
modprobe dm-bswap16.ko

dd if=/dev/zero of=test.bin bs=1K count=100

losetup /dev/loop0 ./test.bin

echo "0 200 bswap16 /dev/loop0" | dmsetup create test

ls -l /dev/mapper/test

echo "00 01 00 01 00 01" | xxd -r -p > /dev/mapper/test

# device mapper target

hexdump -C /dev/mapper/test

dmsetup remove test

Test with ps3da

# clear ATA and ENCDEC keys
# DO NOT DO IT WITH HDD MOUNTED !!!

ps3dm sm set_del_encdec_key 0x110
ps3dm sm set_del_encdec_key 0x111

# for now don't use ps3da device directly, dump sectors to file and bind it to loop device
# later we will use ps3da device directly when dm-bswap16 is well tested and bug free

dd if=/dev/ps3da bs=512 count=2 of=hdd_enc.bin

losetup /dev/loop1 ./hdd_enc.bin

# we have to setup device mapper bswap16 target else HDD encryption/decryption won't work properly

echo "0 2 bswap16 /dev/loop1" | dmsetup create test

# decrypt using xts_aes

cat /dev/mapper/test | ./xts_aes/xts_aes -d -k <your ATA data key> -t <your ATA tweak key> | hexdump -C

dm-crypto

  • 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.

Test

  • Tested on PS3 istelf 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.
# clear ATA and ENCDEC keys
# DO NOT DO IT WITH HDD MOUNTED !!!

ps3dm sm set_del_encdec_key 0x110
ps3dm sm set_del_encdec_key 0x111

# for now don't use ps3da device directly, dump sectors to file and bind it to loop device
# later we will use ps3da device directly when dm-bswap16 is well tested and bug free

dd if=/dev/ps3da bs=512 count=2 of=hdd_enc.bin

losetup /dev/loop1 ./hdd_enc.bin

# we have to setup device mapper bswap16 target else HDD encryption/decryption won't work properly

echo "0 2 bswap16 /dev/loop1" | dmsetup create test

# create key file

echo <your data key as hex string> <your tweak key as hex string> | xxd -r -p > hdd_key.bin

ls -l hdd_key.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32 Sep  4 09:28 hdd_key.bin

# create DM crypto target
# key size is 256bit because PS3 uses XTS-AES-128 and the key is just the conctentation of the data and tweak keys.

# and we don't need xts_aes too anymore :)
# Linux does encryption/decryption for us transparently now

PS3 HDD Partition Table

  • 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.
