Huawei Backup

[pawgol]

Hi I found:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication...martphones
and
https://github.com/RealityNet/kobackupdec

and I wonder if anyone here could implement a method simillar to -m 10900 that would crack password for the algorithm described in above article and then implemented in kobackupdec tool.

Basically there is info.xml file for huawei backup that has some hashes inside which then are parsed by kobackupdec (python script)
KEY_SALT in kobackupdec  is first 16 bytes of this pwkey_salt hash from info.xml
KEY NONCE in kobackupdec is last 16 bytes of pwkey_salt hash from info.xml
there is also e_perbackupkey hash in info.xml to get _bkey that is needed to calculate
KEY check expected that should be equal to first 32 bytes of checkMsg hash from info.xml
SALT in kobackupdec is last 32 bytes of checkMsg hash from info.xml

Here is the essential part of kobackupdec script slightly modified:

@staticmethod
    def prf(p, s):
        pdb.set_trace()
        return HMAC.new(p, s, SHA256).digest()

    def crypto_init(self):
        key_salt = self._pwkey_salt[:16]
        logging.debug('KEY_SALT[%s] = %s', len(key_salt),binascii.hexlify(key_salt))

        key = PBKDF2(self._upwd, key_salt, Decryptor.dklen, Decryptor.count, Decryptor.prf)
        logging.debug('KEY[%s] = %s', len(key), binascii.hexlify(key))

        nonce = self._pwkey_salt[16:]
        logging.debug('KEY NONCE[%s] = %s', len(nonce), binascii.hexlify(nonce))

        cipher = AES.new(key, mode=AES.MODE_GCM, nonce=nonce)
        self._bkey = cipher.decrypt(self._e_perbackupkey)[:32]
        logging.debug('self._e_perbackupkey[%s] =  %s', len(self._e_perbackupkey),binascii.hexlify(self._e_perbackupkey))

        logging.debug('[%s] =  %s', len(self._bkey), binascii.hexlify(self._bkey))

        salt = self._checkMsg[32:]
        logging.debug('SALT[%s] = %s', len(salt), binascii.hexlify(salt))

        res = PBKDF2(self._bkey, salt, Decryptor.dklen, Decryptor.count, Decryptor.prf, hmac_hash_module=None)
        logging.debug('KEY check expected = %s', binascii.hexlify(self._checkMsg[:32]))
        logging.debug('RESULT = %s', binascii.hexlify(res))

        if res == self._checkMsg[:32]:
            logging.info('OK, backup key is correct %s' % self._upwd)
            self._good = True
        else:
            logging.error('KO, backup key is wrong %s' % self._upwd)
            self._good = False
