Talk:Firmware Keys

2.0 beta 8 key?

Would anyone, by any chance, have the key for 2.0 build 5A345? For some reason, it's missing on this page. -Dialexio 16:13, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

This DLL is part of Cygwin. You can get it here: [1] --Blackbox 14:45, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I need this file too, but the link seems to now be broken. I just got it from here instead. Just thought I'd make a note in case anyone else needs it. MaybachMan 13:17, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

...Cygwin1.dll can also be gotten here. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by MaybachMan (talk) 13:27, August 17, 2010 (UTC). Please consult this page for more info on how to sign pages, and how to fix this.

I'm working on getting my fork of VFDecrypt running on Windows. Soon as I get it compiled, I'll post the download link to a /native/ Windows binary. --dra1nerdrake 17:35, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

VFDecrypt for Mac link

The link in the article is broken, does anyone have a working one? MaybachMan 11:39, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Use mine from github and build it with 'make linux'. It (should) work. If it does, please post back here so I can update the program. If it doesn't, post back here with the error and I'll try to debug it. --dra1nerdrake 21:13, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

iKeys

I was wondering if anyone had any info on "iKeys". It's mentioned here at the bottom. I'd Imagine it's like GenPass but just wondering. Any info is appreciated. --OMEGA_RAZER

Remove Request

As someone mentioned on the Firmware 3.x Beta talk page, I want to request that the whole section "Firmware" on this page here gets removed and all mentioned pages deleted as well. The information there (the VFDecrypt keys) should go into their appropriate firmware page. Or do we still need all VFDecrypt keys (only) together also? If yes, then at least it should be cleaned up and these pages should mention that these are duplicates for the sake of grouping. --http 10:17, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

I think we should just protect the pages VFDecrypt Keys:_1.x, VFDecrypt Keys: 2.x, VFDecrypt Keys: 3.x, and VFDecrypt Keys: 3.x BETA. And if someone discovers a key for those Firmwares we should add it to the talk page for an admin to add. --Balloonhead66 15:03, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

These pages are really chaotic. For the 1.x and 2.x pages, it is unknown if they are for the iPhone or iPod touch (or for both). We can just assume something, or try. The 3.x pages contain not only vfdecrypt keys, but some ramdisk keys as well. And some have beta mixed within, others not. I assume that all keys are on their respective firmware page already. If not, then we should create the missing pages and link them to the Firmware or Beta Firmware page. I'll start with that some time if I find the time - feel free to help. But then, if all keys are available on their firmware page, why would we still need these pages? I still request to delete them. We could add a cross table on this page with firmware vs. device and in each cell a link, so that we easily find the page with the keys. I think I'll add this table right away. Then there's no need for these pages anymore. Please discuss here if you agree to remove them afterwards. -- http 20:14, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't think we should delete the key pages until the table shows all blue links so that way we don't trash any keys on accident. --Balloonhead66 15:33, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

After making sure we have all keys on their firmware pages, I went ahead and copied the text to this page and deleted the 4.x (final) page. The others will follow, after checking them also. -- http 21:25, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Download Table

Does everyone link my table in the download section? --Balloonhead66 18:09, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

The x86 version of VFDecrypt also works on x64, should note that. --JakeAnthraX 01:04, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Exploit?

am i to understand that a low level exploit is needed to get the vfdecrypt key??? --Shengis14 18:50, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

No, that's not completely true. :P One has to manage to get the key/iv for an update/restore ramdisk, and then use Genpass to get a VFDecrypt key. --dra1nerdrake 21:27, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

And how would someone like myself go about getting the Key/IV for an update/restore ramdisk --Shengis14 22:13, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

You would need at least an iBoot exploit and a payload to upload that is able to access the AES engine of the device. --OMEGA RAZER 22:16, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

It's just one of the reasons I'm confused is how is there a sudden jump in the number of vfdecrypt keys for the iPod touch 3G on like 4.0-1?? There isnt a exploit that is iBoot or lower for that device Any thoughts ? --Shengis14 22:50, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

New page?

I think we should make a new page detailing how to utilise Gojohnnyboi's AES payload to get the keys including screenies on opening up an img3 in a hex editor and getting the KBAG etc. Then the keys won't be left to the main devs and iH8sn0w to post. Then all these beta FWs can be decrypted faster and more keys can be posted. I myself would definitely be interested in getting the KBAG etc. and if anybody could create such a page then I would definitely be interested in posting keys myself. Once created the page shouldn't need too much housekeeping either since the process won't change until IMG4 comes along which I will dread :P Who's up to it?? blackthund3r 11:43, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Page split request

I think we should split this page into two. The first half deals more with the VFDecrypt program, not the keys as the title would suggest. Perhaps we can move the info related to the program to VFDecrypt (program), and make VFDecrypt a disambiguation page. --Dialexio 00:17, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

I like that, but think it should just be VFDecrypt for the program and dont make a disambiguation page, Category:VFDecrypt is like a disambiguation page already... Also making the current page info on the keys would be more like it as that is what the page waws orrigionally... --Balloonhead66 00:25, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Yes, VFDecrypt should be about the program or a disambiguation page and here only infos about the keys. All this stuff about the other programs don't really belong here either. That could go to the disambiguation page or small under a "see also" section. Don't forget all the links like [[VFDecrypt Keys|VFDecrypt]] have to get fixed. -- http 00:56, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

So, it's settled. I'll get to moving all of the info related to the actual program to the page VFDecrypt. --Dialexio 21:25, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Why so many apps?

Why are there so many jillion half-useless-GUI front-ends to vfdecrypt. The terminal app is not difficult to use(, so wtfsauce). And why does each program need it's own wiki and 8 other references here? Iemit737 06:40, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Comments from deleted page VFDecrypt Keys: 4.x BETA

i'm trying to genpass a s5l8720x key, but seems to be invalid --Qwertyoruiop 00:19, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

GenPass for 3.x isn't working on 4.0 rootfs. --Cichacz 10:40, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

thx --Qwertyoruiop 10:57, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

We can only try asking MuscleNerd to post the new one script :) --Cichacz 11:05, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

ih8sn0w has some scripts too, maybe try asking him --pjakuszew 13:34, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

is there a manual way to aquire those keys? after looking at genpass source it looks like openssl could be involved. couldnt hurt to ask someone for their script though --Jimmy.M

reversing asr could be a solution. --Qwertyoruiop 15:37, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

I think it's better to keep the scripts non-public. If there was a public script for getting the vfdecrypt keys, Apple developers could move the keys again and we will have to find yet another method for getting the vfdecryptk's. --pjakuszew 15:41, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
