Following the 1.76 PS4 API, PSN API, PS4API Open Sourced and recent PS4API 4.05 Port work today PlayStation 4 developer @BISOON made available a PS4API Server for PS4 4.05 Firmware to handle client R/W game memory requests aiding devs in making RTE/RTM tools.

Download: PS4API.bin / PS4 API Server GIT / PS4Lib-master.zip / PS4Lib GIT (Dynamic link library to create RTMs for PS4)

To quote from his post on NGU: Hello everybody after a while being away for a long time

Recently I got my PS4 (4.05) and thanks for everyone who spent his effort to make this happen on 4.5 and also we will not forget who is working on useful things for this community.

I spent the past two days looking for PS4API to control over the app memory using desktop tools/rtms, and unfortunately I got some but seems not worked with me or not stable enough (I am not underestimating their work, I really respect what they are done) also no new commits or updates on their projects for a long time.

So today I just pushed my PS4API server project into github for contribution, or for testing purposes. The client side not finished yet due the lack of time, so I will create the client lib based on the PS3Lib By iMCSx components (if he doesn't mind) to make it easy for people who already has created PS3 rtm tools and to make it simple for updating PS3 tools to PS4 (only changing the addresses will be enough) and the RPC as well if needed.

As I promised you guys I've finished the client side library in c# to make it easy for people who interested in making RTM tools. also demo app included for demonstration.

A Brief...

PlayStation 4 developer oct0xor (aka @Octopus) made available a PS4 Registry Editor and Viewer for other devs to examine the system.nvs, system.dat, system.idx, system.eap and system.rec.

Download: ps4_registry_editor-master.zip / GIT

This comes following the PS4 EAP Kernel Dumps, and to quote from his Blog page on it: PS4 Registry Editor

Recently I reverse-engineered PS4 registry format and made a simple tool to view and edit it.

Sony likes to encrypt and obfuscate everything. Every time it is very fun to figure it out.

PS4 registry is represented by a few different files and file formats:

• /system_data/settings/system.nvs
• /system_data/settings/system.dat
• /system_data/settings/system.idx
• /user/settings/system.eap
• /system_data/settings/system.rec

The most important are system.dat and system.idx. The file format is simple: system.idx contains info about every entry with offset and system.dat contains entries data.


Entries inside system.eap and system.rec are stored in obfuscated format.


First of all, its XOR’ed with 8 bytes, there are a lot of Null bytes, so it’s easy to figure out them without reversing. But thats not all. RegID’s are encrypted, entries and data are hashed. Besides that, RegID’s for system.eap and system.rec are encrypted with different keys.


Why to obfuscate? Dunno.

Folders with those files should be not easily accessible.

My suggestions:

• To prevent fuzzing of file format
• Implement new crypto and hash algorithms is the most fun thing to do at work
• This data is very sensitive

It becomes even more fun when you find a backdoor that grants access to registry for non-system processes. For it to work RegID’s should be encrypted in another fashion.
