biskeydump - Dumps all your Switch BIS keys for eMMC contents decryption, to be used as a fusee payload (upload via the normal fusee-launcher or my TegraRcmSmash.exe).

HacDiskMount - use your BIS keys and your RawNand.bin (or the physical eMMC attached via microSD reader or using a mass storage gadget mode in u-boot/linux) to dump, restore or REAL-TIME MOUNT AND EXPLORE/MODIFY partitions from the dump file or attached physical device !

Binaries available at https://switchtools.sshnuke.net
When appropriate, README.txt file inside the archive points to the source code location

(Yes I know these have been out for a few days, but only since today was biskeydump redistributable as a precompiled binary)

What do I do with the QR Code? it won't scan via my phone.. for me anyways.

The QR code contains the key data. Scan, copy the text, and paste into a .txt file. Worked on my phone but it was a little tricky getting it to scan.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I used biskeydump.bin. It shows the keys but I'm getting a low framerate with screen tearing. How is performance for everybody else?

Is there a Way to achieve the Keys from a Nand dump?
I do have dumped boot0,boot1 and the whole EMMC also TSECFW

Unfortuanally i factory resetted the console, not mentioning i had to do the biskeydump in prior. ;)

I did a fresh NAND dump and repeated biskeydump with the payload v4.

Trying to use hacdiskmount, but when testing the Key i always get an FAIL! about Entropy

Dump seems to be valid (the used script to dump it generates and validates md5 of Flash and binary)
Log of kacdiskmount:
Code:
[08:06:18:427262] [info] Loaded primary GPT, checking secondary from offset 31268535808

[08:06:18:428085] [info] Secondary GPT is okay

[08:06:18:428347] [info] Using primary GPT as backup GPT is identical

Did some further investigations:
Dumped another Console (brand new, never booted into OS, Firmware 4.01) biskeydump payload v4.
The same behaviour as on the other console.
Also i mentioned that Bis Keys 2 and 3 are identical on both readouts...

Another Test with payload v3 (generated by the script which is used for dumping the nand):
HWI and SBK are equal as expected.
Keys are different , Bis Keys 2 and 3 are identical

For me too, but maybe it's normal as I can decrypt everything fine?
Thanks!
Please, can you tell me what payload you used to achieve the bis keys?
Also your nand dumping mehtod would be interesting. - I got it by that method: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-how-to-dump-switch-nand-using-linux.502201/
In principe this is dumping via dd on Linux - the script also generates MD5 sums to verify the dump. I am pretty sure it is valid as hacddiskmount does not complain about missing GPT,....

I used biskeydumpv4 via TegraRcmSmash to get the keys and did the nand dump in Arch with GNOME manually:
Code:
$ dcfldd if=/dev/mmcblk1 of=/home/alarm/SwitchNAND_dump.bin bs=512
$ dcfldd if=/dev/mmcblk1boot0 of=/home/alarm/SwitchNAND_boot0_dump.bin bs=512
$ dcfldd if=/dev/mmcblk1boot1 of=/home/alarm/SwitchNAND_boot1_dump.bin bs=512

The switch's nand is really 32GB in size? and all of this is used only by system files? It's hard to believe all of the 32gb is solely for the system files only. I thought the 32gb also includes the storage space available for games. Am I not correct?

You are correct, there are about 26 gig for user data, the whole EMMC storage has 32Gb

Thanks for the clarification. So not all is lost when we create an emunand then, at least we still get to use the 26GB from the emunand. Maybe 64GB of sd card will already be fine for me.
