This is the beginning of a kind of fork of jimmikaelkael's ps3mca-tool. That project is not available on Github due to a DMCA takedown notice from Sony regarding the emulation of the mechacon authentication process: https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2011/2011-06-21-sony.markdown.
This project will not include the MagicGate keys to send to the device for authentication, only a framework for authenticating if you already possess the required keys. Thereby Sony's copyright should not be violated.
Information on the PS2 memory card file system comes from Ross Ridge at this page: http://www.csclub.uwaterloo.ca:11068/mymc/ps2mcfs.html
In order to use this program with PS2 cards you must supply your own MagicGate keys. You need two 16 byte files: k1.bin, k2.bin, and two 8 byte files: iv1.bin, and iv2.bin.
k1 and k2 are hash keys used for the Triple DES procedure (each file should contain two 8 byte keys).
iv1 and iv2 are initial vectors to be used with the corresponding keys.
$ ./ps-memorycard --help

On linux you can monitor the traffic between the host and a USB device
by loading the usbmon kernel module:
modprobe usbmon
# Find which bus the device is on - you can also just use the `lsusb` tool. If you look at the devices file, the bus is listed in the T line.
cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices
# If the device is on bus 001, its traffic will be present in the 1u file.
cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon/1u
