a reminder of who found a browser workaround

before anything, don't harass anyone for any reason, it's not cool.

here's a video, uploaded October 19, 2016.


this was fixed in 11.4.0-37, which went out at the same time as Nintendo's first payout through their HackerOne program.
http://segmentnext.com/2017/04/11/n...rone-to-find-nintendo-switch-vulnerabilities/

I did tell some people about it but kept it hidden from the public just in case it became useful in the future. one of them was PokeAcer, who I (wrongly) trusted with this. I never thought someone would actually go to the HackerOne program with my workaround and report it.

I was the one who found this, not PokeAcer, who got the actual reward (amount undisclosed) here. endergamer549 was one of the ones who got rewarded, who turned out to be this person after others (who I also showed) went through Google search results and cache. https://i.imgur.com/EHLU8fN.png https://i.imgur.com/4S7fDSM.png - he also told me that he did this directly, confirming the entire thing.

this has been posted at least one other times around the forums: https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintend...hackerone-program.467316/page-14#post-7241839

anyway, I don't really care about the reward, just needed to make this more visible.

one other thing, there was a page with an apology which was taken down. I was shown it before, so I know it existed.

This is honestly the kind of thing I would consider irredeemable; not only did he take someone else's exploit and claim it was his own, he profited off it. That's so low and scummy, it's not even funny.

Well, if someone was going to report vulns to ninty and get paid, it should be the person that discovered the vuln. So, not only did the community lose a vuln, but the person that discovered it got fucked too. Fuckin scum is everywhere.

That fucking suck... Dick move but they probably just watch this thread and laughs. Would be a shame if Nintendo got to know this and maybe asked for the money back? :P
 
Damn, i would understand if they found it and reported that as that would be they're choice. But to report on something someone else did is fucking terrible and a huge betrayal of trust. Whoever these people are, they are now disliked and I hope that money was worth all the hate they are going to get.

Now I'm just suspicious of all these that gotten the bounty. How many of them actually figured anything out rather than stealing it?

Wouldn't expect anything better from the 3DS community.
I hate when someone takes another's work and passes it off as their own, it happened me a while ago, albeit on a much less grander scale. Still very scummy.
