Hacking What's most likely going to happen

[IncredibleWhanG]

from reading through a ton of stuff today, id say thats a great avenue to explore, but I am not a dev.

i think you should try somthing with it dude only thing you lose is time

 

[davetheshrew]

im learning c and how to use ida, plus reading thoroughly the pdf entitled

Return Oriented Programming for the ARM
Architecture

and

IBM PowerPC 750CL RISC Microprocessor User’s Manual

I sure as fuck cant help, but eventually I should be able to help a bit.

yes

il make a thread wont be long, you will have everything, as I say its public, its not my work but it IS available to anyone without restriction...ok 1 restriction, and that is it cannot be used to make private exploits.

i can see this being a big help to those who are good with coding/dissasembly

Gonna have to check out.

Edit: I only just realized what this is, apologies.

 

[davetheshrew]

nope at the devs request everyone is to have this and all updates forthcoming.

My bad for misreading it, this is pretty freaking awesome

Let's be honest, if XYZ exploit was released today and patched by Nintendo tomorrow, we'd be right back in the exact same situation.... People whining and begging. Why bother?

<5.4 is easy enough to find...

bit defeatist dont you think?

Nope. I had enough insight not to update past 5.3.2

and I suppose someone that bought a system yesterday, went online and thought 'oh i wonder if theres any hax for this?' can get fucked right? right

5.4 is getting more and more difficult to find, if exploit XYZ was released ALL consoles you would buy from stores would come with a hackable firmware, that's already a BIG difference (and it would stay like that for at least a few months)

This is a really good point, like me I bought my console on the 4th of December last year, at that time I hadn't even looked into Wii U hacking and homebrew. Thought it would have come a long way since it's release in 2011 (!). I didn't even look at what version I had either, but assuming I had 5.5.0, maybe 5.4 but most likely 5.5.0. So there would have been no way for me to prevent updating past hackable firmware.

Yeah, that happened to me. My console came with 5.5.0. Finding a console on <5.4.0 is pretty difficult now.
(Yes, I tried looking for an exploitable console, but I couldn't find one)

I could have sought for one, but I had absolutely no money left after the purchase, only a euro which I bought a hamburger of from McDonald's . So I would either have to sell my Wii U again. Or replace it for another Wii U package. The store I bought it at had one Windwaker HD pack left, and I think those had 5.4 on them but I wanted Splatoon + MK8. So no returning and exchanging for me. :/ still have warranty till December this year.
