The guys at http://us.xploder.net are the first ones that reversed the .PFD structure/encryption/signing. By reversing what this disc does we can understand the decryption method


His "Xploder PS3 Cheats System" (is a disc intended to be used in PC) is able to decrypt and reencrypt .PFD files in a PC

In difference with the previous cheat hacks as (Code Freak, PS3UserCheat, E3 GoldenFinger, P3Go Cheat, PS3 Cheat Enabler) this old methods depends of a dongle that patches the firmware to bypass the .PFD checks

==PARAM.PFD Structure generation process==
*This is more than speculation, is a representation of how mirror's edge PARAM.PFD was generated, and how the index numbers are used to "jump" to the next one. I did this table weeks ago, and there was something wrong i realized at the end but thanks to it i understood how the PARAM.PFD is generated using timestamps, probably the table is wrong (because the mirror's edge file im using as example has been updated several times by his owner) but we need to use something like this to order them also it can help others


From files timestamps----->to----->PARAM.PFD


Last time modifyed timestamp
 
==This is a VERY USEFUL game save==
http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps3/save/mirror_s_edge.zip
 
The structure of this PARAM.PFD can be considered "rare", and is perfect to be used for explains and to understand how it works, the structure contains all the "problems" not present in "standard" files that can be considered unknown... there are other game saves that can be used (MotoGP10, Heavy rain)... but the list of protected files in heavy rain is HUGE (use this file if you are coding an app as a "stress test", but not for examples)
 
From now on... lest use the PARAM.PFD from "mirror's edge "game save" for the examples in the main page

*Note about the "virtual index"
The addition of the "indexed" entries in this 2 tables makes the total of '''33 protected files'''... are "indexed" by spreading his ID numbers between "X table" and "protected files table"
 
Ok... more tables... this is the "virtual index" that we have if we place all the entries from the 2 tables together, and ordered by his ID number. This makes a total of 33 "indexed files":

*The problem is the timestamps of the "protected files" changed when the owner of this game save updated it (we must suppose he did lot of times). Its needed to understand if this update process rebuilds all the tables reasigning the "index nº's" or if the positions of the "protected files" are moved inside "protected files table". Also is needed to verify how new files are added to the "protected files table" when the game generate new ones. To verify all this is needed to begin with a "fresh created" game save, understand how has been built, and compare how it changes after several updates, this is where i stopped ;)
===Y table===
*This means the examples from this mirror's edge game save (downloaded from gamefaq) are not enought to explain how it works, are needed at least 3 different game saves generated by the same user in the same ps3, or in other words... all the examples must be replaced :/
Dont forget this table... uses something similar
**1.- A copy of the folder the first time the game save is generated (copyed from hdd, NOT exported to usb)
**2.- A copy of the folder after a "normal" update (no new files are added to the "protected files table")
**2.- A copy of the folder after a "special" update (new files are added to the "protected files table")
**This completes all the behaviours/functions possibles for PARAM.PFD related with his creation/updates
