Title Updates

Title update downloads are no longer as easy on on PS3. For PSVita title updates, the following path structure is used:

https://gs-sec.ww.|NETWORK|.dl.playstation.net/pl/np/|TITLEID|/|HASH|/|TITLEID|-ver.xml

• NETWORK can be np, sp-int, prod-qa, rc, or e1-np.
• TITLEID is the title of the app. PCSA00007 for example.
• HASH is a secret calculated hash based on the below algorithm:

int main(void) {
        char network[0x10];
        char title[0x10];
        // Secret HMAC key found in shell.self
        unsigned char key[0x20] = {0x9A, 0x9D, 0x07, 0xD5, 0x61, 0x9C, 0x3F, 0xFD, 0xDF, 0xF7, 0x58, 0xE3, 0xFC, 0x86, 0xC4, 0xB7,
                                   0x79, 0xFD, 0x63, 0x2D, 0x8D, 0xD4, 0x22, 0x54, 0x35, 0xC2, 0xE6, 0x2B, 0x2F, 0x4A, 0x2E, 0x6B };
        char uniqdata[0x20];
        int i,res;
        unsigned char result[0x20];
        memset(network,0,0x10);
        memset(uniqdata,0,0x20);
        memset(result,0,0x20);
        memset(title,0,0x10);
        printf("Enter network name (np, prod-qa, sp-int, rc, e1-np):"); scanf_s("%s", network,0x10);
        printf("Enter title id name (PCSA00000):"); scanf_s("%s", title,0x10);
        sprintf_s(uniqdata,0x20,"%s_%s", network,title );
        // Lovely obfuscation
        for(i=0;i<0x20;i++) key[i] ^= 0x7f;
        hmac_sha256(key,0x20,uniqdata,strlen(uniqdata),result);
        printf("https://gs-sec.ww.%s.dl.playstation.net/pl/%s/%s/", network,network,title);
        for(i=0;i<0x20;i++) {<
                printf("%02x", result[i]);
        }
        printf("/%s-ver.xml
", title);
        //printf("%s
", orig);
        return 0;
}

The hmac_sha256 function is not normal either. The made a couple of error or tweaks so it was not standard. Below is their hmac_sha256 function.

/**
 * hmac_sha256_vector - HMAC-SHA256 over data vector (RFC 2104)
 * @key: Key for HMAC operations
 * @key_len: Length of the key in bytes
 * @num_elem: Number of elements in the data vector
 * @addr: Pointers to the data areas
 * @len: Lengths of the data blocks
