Maybe this is more of what you would like, muskieratboi. Thanks for not flaming and using logic. I suppose I had fun and vented at the same time.
Here is what I was told on efnet at #wiiudev by one of the "insiders." I went there after seeing Comex' tweet about "Waiting for linux" for the Wii U hacking to continue (another uses asked him about it).
--Not giving us access to Wii U nand
--Not telling us how to get to keys for nand or others needed for system
--Not giving us access to Wii U disc drive
--Nand uses HMAC/AES encryption; not prone to collisions, impossible to decrypt without key and they have that key
--Will have access to processors, GPU, and RAM; essentially vWii with linux on top to give access ONLY to these things (mentioned at start of this statement)
--Reason for not giving access is piracy; no need to have drive/nand access as they see it. Emulators are okay, and only vWii would be fully unlocked totally.
After I posted this, albeit in some rants, I received a personal message. I will copy/paste this while trying to redact the name (same person on efnet).
--Message one: "bad move"
--I responded, bla bla bla, then they said: "told lies and proved you would tell. now you'll look even more crazy and have no infof"
--Now, others said they are part of fof or damn close to them, they also said; "I'm not even in fail0verflow, lol
I do know how wii works and was being friendly as you seemed like a really nice guy, but I'm no more priveledged than anyone"
--They said on efnet to NOT share that conversation. However, I saw two paths; 1.) He told me the truth on efnet and we would not get full unlock. In this case, I did not need anymore info so wanted to try to do everyone here a favor by revealing my information. 2.) He was being devious and in this case, he did lie and I had no reason to trust him. Moreover, people had posted parts of conversations I had in private rooms on efnet; some not even in those rooms that I knew of!!!
Waiting a while for this awesome system to be unlocked. Another interesting part is that piracy is bad, yet this person said emulators (more powerful given access to some of Wii U hardware) with pirated roms/games were okay. On one hand, it is better than nothing to have what he mentioned; linux without access to anything fof did not want others to have access to. On the other, I considered the A/B diagram, twitter posts, and how some found the troll image in that diagram and taking this with what I was told, I reasoned that was for US and Nintendo. Nintendo; "We beat your security...but won't reveal it we only want linux on it and homebrew to prove to others we did it" and for us; "Unlock it yourselves, not getting these keys or told any information on how to potentially get them." As they have said, those hashes could be virtually ANYTHING. Others pointed out photoshop is effective for such things as pics posted as "Proof" of hacking.
--Do I think they were photoshopped...undecided, why do that given fof's history of success?
--Some pointed out, PS3 stuff was not even going to be released BUT geohot released it anyway (sold or did something, you guys know more than me on this).
--Somebody told me they are doing it for PRIDE, not to release full unlock, but only to say, "We did it, you did not."
---->Who knows for sure other than fof? Not giving this person's name out. I may later on but not right now. No need for that, and I cannot verify what they told me. Might not be any release (could be another reason for the troll). Comex did say there would be a release and ONE thing I found is I usually find Comex is forthcoming if you are kind. he said he is waiting on LINUX (tends to jive with what the person told me on efnet). He told me about A/B diagram while it was a mystery. Some knew but I did not;-) I followed what Comex told somebody on twitter into efnet to get somebody to elaborate and then the conversation took place. This is the entire story, with reasons for my thinking. Are we being misled? Are we expecting something when nothing was promised? Was something promised? I only want the truth out.
