PS Store Activation

URLs

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

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).

Game and applications

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.

  • It can be derived from the JSON URL by removing ".json" and appending "<Suffix>.pkg".
  • Suffix can be blank or "_n" where n is a decimal digit representing the chunk number.

  • It can be derived from the JSON url by removing ".json" and appending "<Suffix>.pkg".
  • Suffix can be blank or "-DP" for a Delta Package (i.e. a Cumulative Patch) or "_n" where n is a decimal digit representing the chunk number.

Planet Side 2

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

See Bugs.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn

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

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:

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

--477D80B1_38BC_41d4_8B48_5273ADB89CAC--

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

patch file

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.

TV and Video Service Applications

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.
