You took months to get the WebKit exploit working, and then, in a bit more than a week, you got shellcode execution.
That's great.

PS : By shellcode, do you mean shellcode in kernel mode, or in userland with the kernel exploit released after?

We spent months without accomplishing much (thank you, public education), then a huge team effort starting early June got us a 5.3.2 code execution. It's only userspace right now, the kernel exploit will come later (probably not too much later).

Out of curiosity, your last post you said you are trying to get shellcode execution. Now you said you just got shellcode execution. Are you working in real time now? jack Bauer style?

I happened to get it working at the time I was writing the reply, so why not include it? :P

Yes, school slowed a lot my work too.
A last question : any news of the 3.X IOSU exploitation?

Can you do all the game mods, pong, that were demonstrated in userland?

I believe they already have IOSU access and are trying to dump the OTP, based on zecoxao's post a few pages back.

We currently have the ability to load a small amount of shellcode from a buffer, but this isn't enough for larger apps. Our strategy is to use this small shellcode to modify our ROP chain and load a larger quantity from a different buffer. The part of our exploit that does this is called findcode, and it's what I'm working on right now.

PD: I'm 8yo!

So, if they are only trying, I suppose they have IOSU userland and are trying to get kernel. <-- I read the post, that's totally wrong.
Anyway, thanks for the info!

Pardon my rudeness what will exploiting the browser do?
What should I be scared/cautious about since I updated?

I hacked my wii u last year and updated the latest firmware last week. The console still works, I haven't played online yet or used my homebrew vwii in the couple of weeks and have shopped in the wii u eshop.

    ewww key shops...
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Why do you really want to use key shops nowadays? You're not really paying towards the companies who provided the keys, plus its very sketchy.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    https://gg.deals/game/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/ - I rather use the proper shops, but here are Key shops shown as well. They tell you the risks as well with each shop

  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    One of the keyshops is 95% off at the moment (probably humble bundle keys)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    And a small percentage of keys bought with a stolen credit card.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    You never know if the key works or not, they don't provide a guarantee.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Sure is... and poor devs get hit with the charge backs

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Exactly.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Thor from "Pirate Software" said its just better to pirate the game than buy from a keyshop if you care about the devs

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    devs don't get hit with the chargebacks, the keys are free to generate
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    at least on steam
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Except he said the DEVS get hits with the chargeback cost
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    since the key gets bought with a stolen credit card
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    there's nothing to charge back because the keys don't cost them money to generate in the first place
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If the game has a crack sure
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most these crack sites have dead links anymore or the crack don't even work
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    @The Real Jdbye What don't you get? If someone use a stolen creditcard. Then sell said key on G2A. If I the dev sold the game key, I will get the charge back cost. That's how it works, it doesn't matter if I generate 300 keys if 300 of them are bought with stolen credit cards. I never said it was on Steam, but its the dev that gets hit. There is a ton of stories out there if you google it.
