File Handling[edit | edit source]
On 1.76, act.dat is loaded and updated by the SceShellCore process.
Beyond 1.76, act.dat is loaded and updated directly by the kernel.
File Verification[edit | edit source]
A HMACSHA256 of the entire act.dat file using the SHA256 of the OpenPsId as the key is stored in Vtrm using SceShellCore's authority-id (0x3800000000000010) in slot 0.
hmacsha256(sha256(sceKernelGetOpenPsIdForSystem()), act.dat) (pseudo-code)
sceSblVtrmStoreNth(0x3800000000000010, hmac, 64, 0)sceSblVtrmRetrieveNth(0x3800000000000010, hmac, 64, 0)sceSblVtrmFreeNth(0x3800000000000010, 0)
Note: sceSblVtrm* are kernel functions.
This prevents easily adding or replacing the act.dat file directly. You will need to update this HMAC to prevent the act.dat file from being deleted when adding or replacing it.
File[edit | edit source]
An act.dat file is made up of 1 to 21 sequential activation structures.
The file is truncated to valid activation structures, so its size will be a multiple of 512.
Activation structure (Universal)[edit | edit source]
Fields are big-endian.
