etaHEN INI Configuration file

etaHEN's ini settings file can be found at /data/etaHEN/config.ini and can be accessed using the built-in FTP and is automatically created when you run etaHEN for the first time

Configuration Layout (toolbox)

INI Key	Description	Default value
PS5Debug	0 = disables PS5Debug (Sistr0) auto load 1 = enable PS5Debug auto load	1 (enabled)
FTP	0 = disables etaHEN built-in FTP 1 = enables it	1 (enabled)
discord_rpc	0 = disables Discord RPC server 1 = enables it	0 (disabled)
testkit	0 = not testkit 1 = Real Testkits ONLY	0 (disabled)
Allow_data_in_sandbox	0 = disables /data in an apps sandbox 1 = enables it	1 (enabled)
DPI	0 = disables The Direct PKG Installer service 1 = enables it	1 (enabled)
Klog	0 = disables kernel logging, 1 = enables it	0 (disabled)
ALLOW_FTP_DEV_ACCESS	0 = disables FTP developer access, 1 = enables it	0 (disabled)
StartOption	0=None, 1=Home menu, 2=Settings 3=Toolbox, 4=itemzflow	0 (None)
Rest_Mode_Delay_Seconds	Delay in seconds before patching shellui coming out rest mode	0 (no delay)
Util_rest_kill	0 = dont kill the util daemon during rest, 1 = Do kill it on rest	0 (disabled)
Game_rest_kill	0 = dont kill the open game during rest, 1 = Do kill it on rest	0 (disabled)

DPI API details for tool creators

etaHEN's Direct PKG Installer currently is very simple and is considered a WIP the service flow is as follows

1. Connect to etaHEN's TCP server via port 9090 (using the PS5s IP)
2. Send a URL to etaHEN in the following json format

{ "url" : "http://xxxx" }

3. etaHEN will then send back the return value (0 on success)

{ "res" : "0" }

4. etaHEN will close the client socket after the return json is sent

Jailbreaking an app (FPKG) using etaHEN (non-whitelist method, Network required)
