Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

[Bug_Checker_]

Alright, good news guys. Thanks to some work by Chadderz and me, we were able to get memory dumps on a 5.0.0 Wii U. I then used these memory dumps to rebuild the ROP chain, which as it turns out, also works on 5.1.0. This means that all versions of the Wii U system software above and including 4.0.0 are supported. As always, you can find the code here.

Chadderz now Chadderznumber1
MrBean now ,uhhhh I guess he didn't do Sh#!

Hello! Well, I don't really know if I should be asking this and please, go easy on me, but what does this mean in the whole Wii U hacking/ homebrew panorama? I am just curious...

It's just an exploit like it have the Wii, but this is more limited because they need kernel access and get IOSU code to get code execution in the espresso CPU and the Starbuck security CPU.

It means that all recent versions of the Wii U system software (4.0.0 through 5.1.0 inclusive) can run unsigned userspace code. Chadderz's kernel exploit also probably works on these versions.

You SHOULD make sure you do NOT auto-update (on your own) before you go CURRENT only to find out updates were NEVER blocked FULLY on your system.

r u gonna update or r u gonna stay

Well, I will be sincere, I will stay in 5.0.0U, it happend when I was in 4.1.0, all told me to update in 5.0.0, it will be safe, but the exploit don't work, so ONLY TO BE SURE, I will stay.

So I block all the IPs.

With blocking the IPs should be enough, but if you want, you can disable the standby feature to reduce odds to the console updates.

i have had my standby feature on the whole time for the quick start menu xD for me i only had the ups blocked
