PS Store Activation[edit | edit source]

URLs[edit | edit source]

PS Store content activation is often refered to as NP KDC.

On PS3, PSP and PS Vita:

On PS4, the servers files are:

  • /tcap.m for acttype 1 and 3
  • /tcdp.m for acttype 2 and 4
  • /tkdp.m for acttype 5 and 6

Usage on PS3, PSP and PS Vita:

  • cap should be Console Activation Point. Posting loginid, password (or epassword) and consoleid to tcap.m returns act.dat file.
  • cdp = Console Deactivation Point. Same as cap but the console removes the act.dat from the console after this is executed.
  • kdp = ?Key Download/Drop Point?. RIF files are obtained from here

Image And Video[edit | edit source]

Image API[edit | edit source]

Sony servers provide an API to convert any image available on internet to another file format. Here is an example:

https://image.api.np.km.playstation.net/images/?format=png&w=4096&h=2160&image=https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/785892918645129216/1bmhzm0t.jpg
https://image.api.np.km.playstation.net/dis/images/?format=png&w=4096&h=2160&image=https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/785892918645129216/1bmhzm0t.jpg

Supported arguments are:

  • image (mandatory): URL to the image
  • format: "png" or "jpg"
  • w: width in pixel. It is limited to 4096.
  • h: height in pixel. It is limited to 2160.

The maximum size may be 8847360 pixels (4096 times 2160).

Games and applications[edit | edit source]

PlayStation 4 games and applications induce connection to internet to download updates, be downloaded in the case of contents bought on the PlayStation store, and some specific games use more connections for online gaming or diverse additional contents.

  • See PKG files for more examples of known links.

Planet Side 2[edit | edit source]

The Planet Side 2 game on PS4 hosted some files on a server owned by Sony. Most URLs had the prefix

http://pls.patch.station.sony.com/patch/sha/

Rocket League[edit | edit source]

See Bugs.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn[edit | edit source]

The game Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn tries to download an update patch before starting the game, instead of the official PKG way. It is yet to be confirmed which version of the game is affected, and if there is a demo available.

It uses HTTP not HTTPS so can be hijacked using a proxy or DNS. The signatures are maybe unverified.

vercheck.dat[edit | edit source]

The game executable downloads a file named vercheck.dat from

https://web.archive.org/web/20171226083441/http://patch-bootver.ffxiv.com/http/ps4/ffxivneo_release_boot_eu/2014.04.02.0000.0000/ffxivpatch/02cbcb27/ffxivpatch/02cbcb27/vercheck.dat

The content looks like a network transmission header:

--477D80B1_38BC_41d4_8B48_5273ADB89CAC
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

--477D80B1_38BC_41d4_8B48_5273ADB89CAC--

and from the URL

https://web.archive.org/web/20171209090142/http://patch-bootver.ffxiv.com/http/ps4/ffxivneo_release_boot_eu/2014.04.02.0000.0000/?time=2014-04-04-11

we have an older version dumped:

as well as from

where the version is even older:

--477D80B1_38BC_41d4_8B48_5273ADB89CAC
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Location: ffxivpatch/02cbcb27/metainfo/D2014.04.02.0000.0000.http

--477D80B1_38BC_41d4_8B48_5273ADB89CAC--

The vercheck.dat file contains the URL to download the .patch file.

patch file[edit | edit source]

The patch is in ZIPATCH format. The patch may be RSA signed, but maybe the downloader executable or the checker is vulnerable to buffer overflows or other vulnerabilities.

Tools for patch file download and analysis[edit | edit source]

TV and Video Service Applications[edit | edit source]

See also Media Services and Internet Browser.

As on the PS3, TV/Video_Services can be directly installed to the console, seperately from browsing the PS store.

As a side reference, on PlayStation 3 (WebMAF), the user-agent of TV & Video applications used to be mostly "Mozilla/5.0 (PlayStation 3) AppleWebKit/531.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) SCEE/1.0 Nuanti/2.0 whilst on PS4 it is mostly Mozilla/5.0 (PlayStation 4) AppleWebKit/531.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) SCEE/1.0 Nuanti/2.0.
