SBORPS Random Fact 01

SCE uses (intentionally) fake misleading names to protect the most important part of their firmware (ie. everything crypto related). The library & function names for their crypto modules are fake, take for example a library they named “semaphore”. What that library is, is a direct interface to the KIRK crypto engine. Or the function “sceUtilsGetLoadModuleABLength” (not a false nid btw), what it actually does is decrypt kernel prxs.
