PS3 Firmware Investigation Part 2

This post will be very basic as well. It will just go over the basics of the root level files.

Root Folder Contents
-3 Files(~5413kb)
-2 Folders(~95160kb)

FILES:
dots.txt(1kb)
updater.sce(5411kb)
version.txt(1kb)

FOLDERS:
update(94550kb)
vsh(610kb)

File Basics:
dots.txt - I see absolutely no point for this file. It is simply a text document with three periods in it. Strange and pointless...

updater.sce - The most important file in the root level and the largest. The file begins with the standard SCE. At 0x91 it states ELF. That appears to be the actual binary executable, however I can not definitively figure out where it starts and ends. My guess is 0x548227, as that appears to be the end of the tightly packed encrypted data.

version.txt - This is a file that those of you from the PSP scene should be familiar with. This time around things have changed however. The new version.txt simply states the version of the update and is followed by 0a.

That's all for this time. Next will be the "attempt" at a examination of the root/UPDATE folder.
