On the weekend, most people rest. But not Bballing1 (CodeLion), TomTomDu80, and Smoke. Working with the recently released SDK by acez, they created a new Module Dumper that dumps all modules visible by the webkit process on the vita.

Codelion had already released memtools_vita, which was dumping modules as well, albeit not as efficiently a this one. This seems to be providing a clean dump of the modules’s Code section , rodata, as well as additional metadata for some of the modules.

People not in the trade can already glance at a few of the things being dumped, from a screenshot that bballing1 shared, and which was apparently taken by our very own Smoke:

• SceAppUtil
• SceAvcodecUser
• SceCommondialog
• SceDriverUser
• SceGpuEs4User
• SceGxm
• SceHafnium
• SceLibc
• SceLibDbg
• SceLibFios2
• SceLibFt2
• SceLibHttp
• SceLibKernel
• SceLibNetCtl
• SceLibPvf
• SceLibVitaJSExtObj
• SceNet
• ScePsp2Compat
• SceShellSvc
• SceWebFiltering
• SceWebkit
• SceWebkitProcess
• …

It wouldn’t be surprising if several hackers have started reverse engineering some of these modules, in the search for additional vulnerabilities that could help gain access to more than just the webkit process.

Note: BBalling mentions that the akai SDK is from acez, Tomtomdu80 contributed to the code, Smoke was testing, and Yifan Lu provided him with the UVL source code.

Raise your hand if you’ve given memtools_vita, HTMLIt, and other native tools a try so far 🙂
