They're not talking about the code name. They are talking about internal storage method/name.The Switch is NX, not HAC iirc

NX is codename. HAC is whatever @medoli900 said.The Switch is NX, not HAC iirc
I speculate it’s an internal name or acronym for something, but I really have no idea.I tried to look it up but there doesn’t seem to be any public information about what “HAC” possibly stands for. Maybe it’s worth a giggle to ask Nintendo Customer Support about it
Neither ;-;So, this tool make a emunand or only decrypt games backups or something?

Umm... From my understanding this DOES decrypt backups...as long as you have the correct keys, and the required firmware version is between 1.0.0-2.3.0.Neither ;-;
Huh... I mean, I did see that, but I wasn't sure if the listed file formats were backups..I speculate it’s an internal name or acronym for something, but I really have no idea.

"hactool is a tool to view information about, decrypt, and extract common file formats for the Nintendo Switch, especially Nintendo Content Archives."
Thank you. This was a perfect answer to my question!HAC is Switch's Model Name, model names are used for hardware revisions.
Gamecube = DOL-001
Wii = RVL-001
3DS = CTR-001
New3DS = KTR-001
Switch = HAC-001
this name is printed on each of the products, just look on the back of your 3DS/Switch... "MOD. HAC-001 INPUT ENTRÉE"
Also for those who want to use this program, forget it, you need multiple MasterKeys and Seeds to generate the Keyset, the program is currently useless.
Is there a proper order for the keys listed in the keyset file? Also, is there a full listing of proper key names that the tool will accept? For instance, does “masterkey0” = “master_key0” = “masterkey_0”?External keys can be provided by the -k/--keyset argument to the a keyset filename. Keyset files are text files containing one key per line, in the form "key_name = HEXADECIMALKEY". Case shouldn't matter, nor should whitespace.
In addition, if -k/--keyset is not set, hactool will check for the presence of a keyset file in $HOME/.switch/prod.keys (or $HOME/.switch/dev.keys if -d/--dev is set). If present, this file will automatically be loaded.
I don't think it's important for a noob guide. .istorage files are already decripted, xci's are not decrypted. Anybody who is looking at decrypting xci shouldn't fall into that category. Something will come along that is much more user friendly if decrypting is required.When we have noob terms to describe this, hit me up. So much is happening and I'm trying to compile a guide. If this doesn't belong in a "noob guide" lemme know. TiA

My Switch is on 4.1.0, please tell me how to dump it? ^^It's not, actually -- you just have to retrieve all the keydata....which is entirely possible using public information.
Several people in Reswitched's server have used it + pegaswitch to dump TrustZone and the built in FIRM sysmodules, already, which contain all of the keydata it needs...
Because Nintendo. CTR = 3DS??????Unfortunately, that does not explain the origin of terms. WHY is it "HAC"?

Most people who use this type of tools don't know how to dump keys/binary or other things, so it's useless to them.
This seems to answer the question of which I was asking...Is there a proper order for the keys listed in the keyset file? Also, is there a full listing of proper key names that the tool will accept? For instance, does “masterkey0” = “master_key0” = “masterkey_0”?
Hey, @SciresM ... Looks like I must be doing something right...
