First time reading that word(?) or name (?).

Well. From a quick search this looks like a useless joke application. If you want to call a page full of intentional speeling errorrs funnnie. I have no idea what it does.

As for the question "Can it brick the 3DS?": That is an inherent problem with software modding consoles. Via exploits we get full access rights and can damage the OS, which we are not supposed to. Of course console malware is possible, but thankfully it does not (yet?) seem to be a widespread issue.

The source code does not look too complex or long.

I could run it on my test console.

It's literally just a bunch of print statements that do nothing, so no.

Fefosheep is not malicious. Its more of a 'joke program' for the 3DS. Just a bunch of print statements displaying random messages.

If you look into its code, you'll see it's just a bunch of calls to printf() (the print text function in c) in the most cursed delay implementation ever. You should sleep threads, not check the value of a variable that increments every frame. It also contains code to execute eShop's TID essentially being just a tool that displays delayed lolcat text (minecraft reference) before launching eshop.

no; it's a joke application that prints messages

after the final print message it redirects to the nintendo eshop
