Length = 104 bytes. (0x68) | |||
There is a structure which i found out. | |||
First you have the ACF Magic 4 bytes 0x61 0x63 0x66 0x00. | |||
Then you have always first, 4 bytes that are constant, following by a value which hase a constant length. | |||
0x01020000 (reversed 0x00002001) following 16 bytes. | |||
0x03000000 (reversed 0x00000003) following by 8 bytes. | |||
8 byte structure is as follows: | |||
* 4 bytes -> start activation date (timestamp, little endian) | |||
* 4 bytes -> end activation date (timestamp, little endian, exactly 90 days after) | |||
0x00000000 (reversed 0x00000000) folowing by 64 bytes. | |||
Only on Testkit/Devkit, seems to be a(ctivation) c(control) f(lags) (speculative, needs to be studied) : | |||

[[File:Screenshot norvalidator2.png|300px|thumb|left|Results]] | [[File:Screenshot norvalidator2.png|300px|thumb|left|Results]] | ||
Developed by [[User:BwE]] this application is designed to validate the entire NOR flash of the PS4. | |||
It will check every byte of the flash and read approximately 1800 specific offsets. | |||
Areas that can be repaired easily are labeled as static, meaning it will be the same across all consoles. | |||
Dynamic areas are interchanging either with each firmware revision, the console itself or the model of console. | |||
PerConsole areas (such as the majority of the CID) are unable to be modified. | |||
Alternative validations are based on known corruption patterns or expectations. This will be improved with each revision. | |||
MD5 validations are based on known valid consoles (or file sizes) and this is why entropy and the above validation are added as supplementation. | |||
There are various table based validations, which are based on accumulated data from various consoles, these will be improved constantly. | |||
Other validations can use regular expressions which are again, based on accumulated data. | |||
The ambiguity of consoles leads to the usefulness of the WARNING result. If it does not pass the expected result and it does not appear explicitly corrupt it will present a warning. Some areas in the NOR are so extremely dynamic that maybe one in 50 consoles will have it, and for the life of me, I don't know why. | |||
My suggestion is to use this program with a cognizance of the ENTIRETY of the results. If for example the flash presents a low entropy and various warnings throughout, this is a bad sign. If the console has perfect entropy but a large (0x1000) corrupted area then I would also see this as a very bad sign. If there are a few danger results in the filler data, I would not worry too much. | |||
Eventually this program will be more and more reliable. Use it, report your results and help develop it! | |||
The program also features extraction of the NOR, byte reversal and statistics.<br> | |||
As of 1.1 it does not support Dev/Test consoles, but will in the future (most of the code is already in the program). | |||

==== BwE PS4 WiFi/BT Patcher & Extractor ==== | |||
[[File:Screenshot2.png|300px|thumb|left|WiFi/BT Results]] | |||
Developed by [[User:BwE]] this application is designed to validate, patch and or extract the [[Flash-Main#0x144000|WiFi/BT Module]] of the PS4. The reason for this is illustrated in [[Software_Wireless_BT#BwE_PS4_WiFi.2FBT_Patcher_.26_Extractor|this page on the wiki]]. It will use MD5, entropy and pattern analysis to determine if and where the module is corrupted. From here it will determine a valid replacement based on the console's expected module version and size. Should there be no matching version available the program will offer you the ability to patch a new header and new module. This methodology is risky, but if this is your only option then it is worth a try. | |||
<pre> | |||
Version 1.3 (19/1/19) | |||
Version 1.2 (27/11/18) Fixed Entropy + Added Better MD5 Validation + Added Better Header Validation | |||
Version 1.1 (25/11/18) Added Entropy + Better Looks | |||
Version 1.1 (4/9/18) First initial release | |||

This | ==== BwE PS4 NOR Statistics ==== | ||
[[File:Mainprogram.png|300px|thumb|left|Statistics Results]] | |||
This program, another micro version of [[User:BwE]]'s PS4 NOR Validator, is designed solely to validate your NOR based on statistics only!<br> | |||
Why make this you ask? Entropy and statistics are a well used methodology in the malware analysis field to determine if a binary file is encrypted, and by how much.<br> | |||
<br> | What is entropy? Entropy is a method for measuring uncertainty in a series of numbers or bytes. In technical terms, entropy measures the level of difficulty or the probability of independently predicting each number in the series.<br> | ||
What has this got to do with PS4s? Well the PS4's NOR is almost entirely encrypted and so with a collection of known valid NOR's it is possible to determine the level of entropy that represents a valid NOR and what level of entropy would represent a corrupt NOR.<br> | |||
When corruption occurs it will generally wipe out a large chuck of the NOR, cause the NOR to repeat itself or will fill the NOR with junk. All of this will decrease or severely increase the entropy.<br> | |||
Seeing as the PS4 firmware is likely to add more or less complexity with each update I have made avaliable a settings file where you can adjust the predicted statistics.<br> | |||
