Let me save you the suspense; the Switch 2 won't get hacked

[lordelan]

you caught me asleep when the tag hit

Well... sorry about that

Prototype games have been released for switch 2 if you know where to find them, alot of stuff got dumped for Switch 2 already, i think you should do further research. the prototype games already got cheats for them, also switch 2 exploit is def on its way im sure if there already dumping prototype games from test kits then there will be a exploit eventually

Hi GeDev, If you have such relevant information and are sharing it here, do yourself and us a favor and cite your sources. Naturally, this should be done in accordance with gbatemp rules. Thank you very much.

Nice argument Senator Armstrong.

"Dumping prototype games"
Like it's not possible for devs to share compiled games for Nintendo Switch 2 because reasons (if it's breaking NDA that's completely separate issue), it's not like they don't have access to all cooked assets and compiled executables before packaging that to NSP and sending it to Nintendo... Devkit even allows dumping already installed games, not like you can install on those retail games anyway because keys sets are different. So that means absolutely nothing when it comes to "hacking console".

You sound stupid with "if you know where to find them". And why you can't share cheats for those? Because what? N's Ninja will kill you?

I will add my 5 cents to this thread:

SWITCH 2 IS HACKED!!! FOR PROOF HERE ARE TITLEIDS OF SOME GAMES, YOU WON'T FIND THEM ANYWHERE ELSE:
- 0400FF902081C000 (Apex Legends)
- 0400C470236D6000 (Full Metal Schoolgirl)
- 04000E9024DDA000 (Ys X: Proud Nordics)

They are all legit.
If you don't believe me, use this link which uses titleid to find eshop page

https://ec.nintendo.com/apps/<titleid>/US

I just checked all three games; they are indeed what you mentioned. So please tell more about this news, how were these title IDs found, and is there any information about the hacker(s) here? I'm assuming Atmosphere isn't at work here, right?

Software exploits look unlikely, NS2 uses the same kernel and firmware lineage as NS1...

This might be the way in, actually. If you could connect NS2 to a local network, then pass off custom code as firmware with all the appropriate keys spoofed, it might accept the update and install it, even passing security checks along the way. It would take significant reverse-engineering, but it's do-able. In the cyber-security space, it's called a trojan; however this is of the good kind for homebrewers, as it allows the NS2 to be modded. As always, though, unofficial software needs to be handled carefully, as these security measures are in place for good reason.

Ah, the classic game exploit hack. Welp, I guess that means my local network exploit theory is not needed. Should've read the thread more thoroughly...

"with all the appropriate keys spoofed" is the key point here. No amount of reverse engineering will give you Nintendo's private keys which are used to sign software updates.

maybe unless if another ps5 situation happened although after the gigaleak, i’d bet nintendo upgraded their security from typewriting monkeys to actual humans

Just scrapping them from eshop pages. When titledb was dead, I made eshop metadata scrapper so I have working alternative that doesn't rely on Switch certs to work (it doesn't save data that is already in titledb to save space). And surprise, this also scraps Switch 2 games metadata.

https://github.com/dev-chin/eshopScrapper/tree/main/output/titleid

Any file that starts with 04 is a Switch 2 native app.
Here is file that has info from which eshop each titleid info was scrapped:
https://github.com/dev-chin/eshopScrapper/blob/main/output/main_regions_alt.json

And here is file that checked if given titleid is valid in regions supervised by European branch (this also includes Israel and South Africa), Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan and South Korea
https://github.com/dev-chin/eshopScrapper/blob/main/output/main_regions_alt2.json

Oh, well I guess it's more of a minor hack then. Still, it's something.

Gezine is kicking some serious butt lately, specially with his youtube PS YTJB.

Edit- However the youtube app will be added in a firmware update, too bad for those (like myself) with a second unopened switch 2.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you mean by PS YTJB? It kinda sounds like some sort of possible exploit.

There’s a ps5 jailbreak that uses the yt app to run the exploit

 

[Marc_LFD]

What prototype games are they? Not asking for links, just curious as that sounds interesting (and for preservation).

If I've learned anything about the homebrew community it's that there's always a way.
