Lockpick_RCM payload - Official Thread


Description
Lockpick_RCM is a bare metal Nintendo Switch payload that derives encryption keys for use in Switch file handling software like hactool, hactoolnet/LibHac, ChoiDujour, etc. without booting Horizon OS.

Source: https://github.com/shchmue/Lockpick_RCM
Payload: https://github.com/shchmue/Lockpick_RCM/releases

Due to changes imposed by firmware 7.0.0, Lockpick homebrew can no longer derive the latest keys. In the boot-time environment however, there are fewer limitations. That means the new keys are finally easy to dump!

Usage
  • Launch Lockpick_RCM.bin using your favorite payload injector or chainload from Hekate by placing it in /bootloader/payloads
  • Upon completion, keys will be saved to /switch/prod.keys on SD
  • If the console has Firmware 7.x, the /sept/ folder from Atmosphère or Kosmos release zip containing both sept-primary.bin and sept-secondary.enc must be present on SD or else only keyblob master key derivation is possible (ie. up to master_key_05 only)
Big thanks to CTCaer
For Hekate and all the advice while developing this!

Known Issues
  • Chainloading from SX will hang immediately due to quirks in their hwinit code, please launch payload directly

So I dumped my keys and got a prod.keys, title.keys, and dev.keys. However, the application XCI_NCA_NSP_v2 asks for a Keys.dat? What exactly is that file?

EDIT: Never mind, figured out I can just make a copy of my prod.keys and rename the copy to keys.dat.

Does this need an update again for 13.1.0 for games like animal crossings new update? I know I couldn't dump the latest update with NXDumpTool and unsure the issue. It mentioned using lockpick_rcm which I did.

Hello! I have an Erista with 16.0.0 HOS and 1.5.1 Atmosphere, no emuNAND, only sysNAND usage. LockpickRCM 1.9.10 finds 0 title keys, and I have not enough knowledge is it okay, or is it a sign of some issue. I've dumped keys with previous HOS and LockpickRCM versions, and title.keys from them have a lot of records.

    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
