Hacking How do I extract encrypted data from a .wud file?

[Deniii]

I have a game in .wud format and its key as well.
I want to extract the files in it in encrypted format (.app and .h3)
I tried DiscU and Uwizard but they only output decrypted files (content, code and meta folders)

Is there a way to get those encypted files?
I want to install the game in NAND with the brazilian method since this game doesn't work in loadiine.
Thanks.

decrypt the content first since afaik there's no way to convert to installable format from a wud directly.

DiscU can do it, you just need to know how to use DiscU correctly.
There are other tools which can do it too, you can see this graphic and links to all existing apps here :

Wud decrypters : (Requires disc key + common key)
DiscU
VGMToolbox
Wud2app
JWUD Tool

Thanks for the reply.
I tried DiscU adding c at the end and that worked.

According to DiscU, c extracts content files. I thought this was for extracting the content folder (without exctracting meta and code)
Turns out, "content" means the app and h3 files.

The strange thing is, I didn't need the common key to exctract it.
According to Cyan, the disc key and the common key are required. However, DiscU only asked me for the disc key.

You said you had used DiscU previously, so you probably already have ckey.bin in your DiscU directory.

No, I don't.

The only files in the folder are:
-libeay32.dll
-DiscU.exe
-diskkey.bin
-game.wud

No, I don't.

You're right. @Cyan was speaking generally, and I was remembering an outdated requirement. With the older discu you had to provide it, but in 4.1b it's still needed (at least for loadiine-type decryption), but you don't have to provide it for a reason that would explain why @crediar didn't release it here.

 

[Cyan]

yeah, that's like Cdecrypt, v0.1 needed it, but it's now included in 0.2 sources
(also, I don't think it's needed to notify users when talking about them if they are not required to participate in the thread, it's just adding notification to check. But maybe he deactivated it)

Thanks for the replies.

It's great these apps no longer require the common key.
The less things an app requires, the less it's more likely to fail to do what it does.

I finally installed the game and it's working fine.

It's great these apps no longer require the common key.

Except that having the key embedded means that we can't post the app here. I think it's easier to find the common key than it is to find the updated copy of discu. Plus, I'd trust copying and pasting a handful of verifiable hex digits over downloading an executable anyday.

I was not aware that decrypters could do this. thank u @Cyan .
