They're not talking about the code name. They are talking about internal storage method/name.

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

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.
"hactool is a tool to view information about, decrypt, and extract common file formats for the Nintendo Switch, especially Nintendo Content Archives."

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.

Huh... I mean, I did see that, but I wasn't sure if the listed file formats were backups..
Thank you. This was a perfect answer to my question!
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
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”?
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
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.
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...

My Switch is on 4.1.0, please tell me how to dump it? ^^
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.
Because Nintendo. CTR = 3DS??????

Also:
3DSXL = SPR
2DS = FTR
N2DSXL = JAN
N3DSXL = RED
You'll need an exploitable Switch -- one on 1.0.0-2.3.0 -- to dump the keys to use hactool with 1.0.0-2.3.0 system/game content. Sorry!
And I think that a tool like this isn't useless, even without keys -- it's full technical documentation on how all the formats work
This seems to answer the question of which I was asking...

Heh, cartridge dumps do not require any keydata to get into, because they're plaintext. That should always work.

Or, I also heard that if you use flash memory, it can act as more "RAM" at least windows tell me when I stick a flash drive into it. -
