Playstation Update Package (PUP)
Extraction
The PS VITA update files can be extracted using the "PS VITA Firmware xTractor".
Decryption
To decrypt the files which are unpacked using the tool, the key is available under PS Vita Keys
Structure
The file structure of the Vita's PUP files is almost identical to the PS3's, although there is a slight difference in the header and the hash algorithm. For starters, whereas in PS3 the format was big-endian for the Vita it has been switched to little-endian (probably the same for all Vita formats). Also the Package Version field in Vita pups is set to 2 where in PS3 updates it was set to 1. There is also 0x50 bytes of extra data in the header and the hashes used are of a longer length than in PS3 updates (0x20 bytes in Vita vs 0x14 in PS3)
Header
Offset | Length | Type | Information |
---|---|---|---|
0x0 | 0x8 | unsigned long | Magic (hex: 0x5343455546000001 ~ ASCII "SCEUF") |
0x8 | 0x8 | unsigned long | Package Version |
0x10 | 0x8 | unsigned long | Image Version |
0x18 | 0x8 | unsigned long | File Count |
0x20 | 0x8 | unsigned long | Header Length (2048, file data starts from here) |
0x28 | 0x8 | unsigned long | Package Length (size of PUP file - 8) |
0x30 | 0x50 | UNKNOWN | UNKNOWN, same for all >V1.0 files so far, maybe something for extra security? (or maybe to break a PS3 which tries to read the update)

File Table
The file table consists of a number of file entries determined by File Count, with the format below (which is the same as the format in PS3 PUP1 files)
Offset | Length | Type | Information |
---|---|---|---|
0x0 | 0x8 | unsigned long | Entry ID |
0x8 | 0x8 | unsigned long | Data Offset |
0x10 | 0x8 | unsigned long | Data Length |
0x18 | 0x8 | unsigned long | Unknown |

Hash Table
The hash table contains a hash entry for every file inside the PUP.
The hash entry format is:

Regioning
If simular to PS3, then there is no regioning in the .PUP files, they are the same for all different regions.
The PS Vita however gets the psp2-updatelist.xml from different servers, depening on the region of that model.
