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.

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.

Isn't PokeAcer like 14 (maybe 13 when this happened) according to his profile? If that info is correct why trust a 14 year old with this? I don't want to be offensive sorry, but you should've thought about that.

@jupitteer Someone I trusted essentially took a few of my ntr cheats and passed it off to people as if he made them. Was pretty scummy of them. As I said, it's on a much less grander scale than what happened here.
 
Thats pretty scummy, Idk.

I would accept his apology, but I would'nt trust him with anything, and I mean ANYTHING.

But whoa, thats not cool

Hey, at least it's something to learn for, not much to do now. Keep up the good work man, don't get too down by the stuff idiots do. You have a community that supports you, so ignore this stuff and move on! We will always be here for you :D

@Thunder Hawk Which part exactly are you unsure about? Someone sold someone else's exploit for money, an exploit they had no part in discovering or developing. It's pretty clear cut how you should feel about this.

@astronautlevel It's more of a mixture of anger, confusion, and the annoying fact the PokeAcer even liked this blog entry.

i kinda figured it was PokeAcer stealing an exploit. it's not that hard to believe considering how much I would like to strangle him for other things.

What a backstabbing cocksucker. Hopefully by making this known the hacking community will know to be more careful with who they trust in the future.

This is the first time I am publicizing this. Back when I was running 3DSThemes.com, after we were hacked, we were doing an audit on our logs to try and figure out what went wrong, and PokeAcer's IP address had appeared in a few areas, mainly affiliated with some brute force attacks. We confirmed the IP with GBATemp staff. I would be cautious with involving him in future works.

I honestly won't involve him in any future projects. This is honestly the lowest a person can go. It's one thing to steal code, it's another to literally steal that code, then turn around and sell it. That's unforgivable and also makes him a threat to any project he's involved in.
