Features

  • Extracts all files and metadata from PUP archives
  • Prints extensive details about the package contents, including:
  • Firmware version
  • Number of files contained
  • Installation instructions
  • File paths
  • File sizes
  • SHA-256 hashes
  • Intuitive GUI to select PUP files to unpack
  • Saves extracted files to output directory
  • Actively maintained and open source

Usage

Dependencies

PFU requires Python 3 and the following modules:

  • tkinter
  • struct
  • lzma
  • pycryptodome

Install dependencies with:

pip install tkinter struct lzma pycryptodome

Basic Usage

  1. Clone the GitHub repository:
git clone https://github.com/seregonwar/Pup-file-extractor.git
  1. Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Run the script with:
python pup_unpacker.py
  1. Use the dialog to select a PUP file.
  2. The content will be extracted to your working directory.

Advanced Usage

The pup_unpacker.py script has extensive documentation on all functions and classes. Developers can easily integrate the PUP extraction functionality into their applications.

See the wiki for more usage details.

State of development

The development of this software is currently at a standstill. The code is complete and partially fulfills its intended functionality, but I am seeking a way to decrypt all update files encrypted with AES-256. The PFU feature is finished, but it cannot fully and properly extract the files. If I had access to Sony’s encryption keys and integrated them into the code, the decryption process would be much simpler. I will continue to release patches to address any bugs.
