OpenSSL 4.1.0
OpenSSL 4.1.0 is a feature release that introduces new functionalities to the OpenSSL project. It includes significant updates, some of which may be incompatible with previous versions. (github.com)
This project provides an offline tool to decrypt FairPlay‑protected App Store IPAs by performing independent key derivation from a 16‑byte account credential. It reads an IPA's SUPF and SINF records (supports SUPF v3 and v5 and 448‑byte or 440‑byte SINF private records - a 440‑byte record must terminate with eight zero bytes), derives per‑page keys, decrypts encrypted arm64 Mach‑O pages and clears the cryptid so the binary becomes usable. A separate credential retrieval component can extract the required 16‑byte credential from a supported jailbroken device and write it to credential.bin for decryption.
The tool runs on macOS and Linux and is implemented in Python with a small C component. Setup requires Python 3.9+, a C compiler, and building via a provided Makefile; macOS builds also require Xcode and ldid to produce the credential‑retrieval bundle, while Linux builds the decryptor. Main pieces include decrypt.py and core.py plus transform.c and transform_const_data.bin. Usage is python decrypt.py /path/to/encrypted.ipa /path/to/decrypted.ipa credential /path/to/credential.bin (credential argument is optional and defaults to ./credential.bin); the output path must not already exist. The implementation targets encrypted arm64 slices and automates page‑key derivation from SUPF/SINF to produce a decrypted IPA.
