Henrik RydgårdandClaude Opus 4.8 b7852eace2 Tools: adhoc_decrypt.py / adhoc_recover.c for debugging real-PSP ad hoc captures ...

A real PSP encrypts its ad hoc link, so a sniffed capture of two consoles is
ciphertext. These decrypt and decode it (PDP/PTP/matching framing), to compare
what a game does on hardware against what PPSSPP sends at the sceNetAdhoc HLE
level - a debugging aid for hardware-vs-emulator divergence. Not needed to run
multiplayer (PPSSPP works at HLE and never encrypts) and unrelated to cross-play
(the link is console-authenticated).

The session key is ephemeral and not in the capture, but the data cipher has a
known-plaintext weakness, so a capture with some guessable plaintext is enough
to recover it - no console memory needed, and not a break of the key exchange.
The two fixed KIRK keys used already ship in ext/libkirk. docs/adhoc-packet-
decryption.md covers capturing, decrypting and recovery.
