"There is more to the story, and this is gonna be EPIC! They store the root key in plaintext, but they are not using it. On 7.0+ they set the tsec_root_keys + 0x10 then don't even touch it. It's a leftover. What they are using is a seed decrypted using slot 7. That they not clear."
Somebody can explain?
Mike Heskin says:
"This means the plaintext key was left by accident and there was already a system in place to use an obfuscated version. As of v2.6.1, the plaintext key is no longer present in the binary and the obfuscated path is taken just like before."

Basically they left the key in plain-text out of oversight/rush, and it was in no capacity used (in its plain-text form, just loaded) much like the code remnants of sept, though those still seem to have been left over. It has been removed in plaintext from the boot, and the method is an obfuscated use of seed slot 7 as balika points out.

I’m pretty sure they still have the key in it, it’s just obfuscated/hidden now
(at least that’s how I read hexkyz’s tweet)
And even if the key is completely removed there’s still other stuff in it that makes it violate this website’s rules

Yes... You are right. Balázs and Heskin? Who know them...
Like before? Before that 2.6? 2.5.3 was ok by gbatemp.
And the censorship of link come for keys. Already say that 2.5.3 was ok.

What happens is that a key is set in keyslot 7 at the end of payload_98000000 and then patcher_BFC70000 does:
- Initialize tmp_buf as 16 0xAA bytes;
- Call se_aes_ecb_decrypt_block(0x07, tmp_buf, 0x10, seed_buf, 0x10);
- Call decrypt_data_into_keyslot(0x0C, 0x07, seed_buf, 0x10).
The se_aes_ecb_decrypt_block is useless and was likely there just for testing (it's still there on v2.6.1 and you can find it by looking for 0xAAAAAAAA in the disassembled code).
This was already being used in v2.6, but they also had a piece of code that would load the actual plaintext key from memory. On v2.6.1 the key and this leftover code was removed.
The user @Falo has shared an accurate screenshot comparison of v2.6 vs. v2.6.1 here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/sx-os-2...license-activation.533956/page-3#post-8559251
Depends on what pretend lawyer they are listening to really. Its still a DMCA violation, but then admitting that would remove links to a few favoured projects.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
-
@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

@
Veho:
Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
