Keys
« on: March 11, 2005, 11:40:12 am »
Using plsign to generate a sig for rc.sh failed, the phatbox went into its loop.

That means there ARE two keys. Like I said in the other posts, I believe they are these two files:

pkeys2.e
pkeysa.e

Like A543 suggested, im going to try and remove one of these and duplicate the other, so both keys are the same. If I get them the right way round, and sign the system files with plsign, hopefully the phatbox will use the playlist key for the system files.

I guess the sig files for the above key files probably contain references to the filenames so they are gonna need modifying with a hex editor or something like that.

Ill try it tonight and let you guys know what I find.

In theory this should work, although if the system files key is also used for the actual drive checking, then it wont :)

Worth a try, but I have to say im pretty impressed by the level of security they have put into the phatbox, it would be pretty embarrasing if removing the sig file worked :)

looking at strings plsign, there is mention to rsaref.h, so I presume RSA is used.

Also pkeys2.h is mentioned, so pkeys2.e might be the playlist key, with pkeysa.e as the system file key.
