Hacking what are the slotkey files?

[migles]

i had followed plailect's guide and in the it says we can delete all files except the ones from the picture
however i am curious about theese files since the luma3ds\aureinand github didn't mentioned anything about them

 

[chaosrunner]

i have noclue but i just leave them in the sd card

 

[Sonansune]

those are 16 bytes keys
keep 5 of them should be enough.
slot0x1BKeyX, slot0x25KeyX, slot0x18KeyX, slot0x11Key96(n3ds only), slot0x05KeyY

From what I CAN TELL THEY ARE DEPENDENT FOR dECRYPTION FOR USING THINGS IN D9

the zip that is provided has only 4 of them
however it doesn't exactly answers my question, i want to know for what they are used to why i need them and from where they come from...

D9 uses them. I'd suggest you to leave them in place so you don't have to hunt them down later if you want to do some funky stuff with D9.

From Decrypt9s github:

Support files

Depending on the environment, Decrypt9 is ran from, you may need support files to have full functionality. Support files are placed into either the root folder, or the work folder (/Decrypt9/). Here's a list of support files used in Decrypt9, when you need them and what they are used for:

• slot0x05keyY.bin: This file is needed for access to CTRNAND features (which is basically everything) on N3DS when running from A9LH.
• slot0x25keyX.bin: This file is needed to decrypt 7x crypto NCCHs and CIAs on O3DS < 7.0 and on A9LH.
• slot0x18keyX.bin: This file is needed to decrypt Secure 3 crypto NCCHs and CIAs on O3DS and on A9LH.
• slot0x1BkeyX.bin: This file is needed to decrypt Secure 4 crypto NCCHs and CIAs in every environment.
• aeskeydb.bin: This is an alternative to the four slot0x??key?.bin files mentioned above. It can contain multiple keys. It can be created from your existing slot0x??key?.binfiles in Decrypt9 via the 'Build Key Database' feature.
• seeddb.bin: Decrypt9 can create and update this file from the seeds installed in your system. This file is needed to decrypt seed crypto NCCHs and CIAs. Note that your seeddb.bin must also contain the seed for the specific game you need to decrypt.
• movable.sed: This is dumpable by Decrypt9. It is needed to decrypt SD files from another 3DS, or from another installation on your own 3DS. It is not needed when decrypting your own SysNAND / EmuNAND SD files.
• d9logo.bin: Contains a logo (or, in fact, anything) to be displayed on the bottom screen. A 'd9logo.bin' file is included in the release archive. If you want to create one yourself, install ImageMagick and run convert [your image] -rotate 90 bgr:d9logo.bin, where [your image] is any image of 320x240px resolution.

Slot0x11key96 is used by Cakes apparently, not sure what it does.

I'd suggest just making the aeskeydb.bin and remove the ones that D9 needed.

Slotkey stuff is needed by cakes and rxtools... Luma doesn't need that kind of stuff.

 

[hobbledehoy899]

You'll need them for Decrypt9.

I don't have slot0x18keyX.bin yet D9 says it's already set up. Just asking, why?

thank you, this pretty much answers the question

96 is the new added key on n3ds 9.6 and above. the reason we stuck on 9.5 for long time
