Hacking First Public Release of CageTheUnicorn

[SciresM]

CageTheUnicorn ("CTU") is a debugging emulator for the Nintendo Switch. That means that it does not and will not play games. In fact, it has no support for graphics, sound, input, or any kind of even remotely performant processing. This is all by design.

With CTU, you can run entire Switch sysmodules or applications, trace and debug the code, test exploits, fuzz, and more.

Link to github: here.

I personally have used it to debug all of the sysmodule ROP I've written while developing for the system -- I highly recommend anyone interested in switch RE check it out! It's an insanely useful tool.

Most of this stuff doesn't usually take that long. Getting things up and running well? Now that takes time, some times a lot of time.

PS4 - 1.76 was only a few months in.

With the Switch's cryptosystems, we're going to be a tad limited on forward-access but for those of us who do this more for the actual system tinkering than for... other reasons... have a fine playground.

I hope the Switch doesn't suffer the same fate as PS4, only one exploitable FW for years and still no real exploits on newer FW

My bada. Ive sobered up a little. Stiil taking an insane amount of focus and effort to type correctlty.

I think I meant to say, "That's fair"? Maybe?
