Hacking Backtrack 5 and the 3ds

[klock]

If you don't already know, chances are, you won't be able to do much.

Has anyone thought of maybe downloading a game from the e-shop, putting a hold on the signal, then telling it to send a rom of your choosing instead?

Lol.

Lol.

Yes but you see, I have a brain, and I like to use it, and am already proficient in networking, and backtrack, so If someone who knew a little more than me about the decryption was willing to try to do something, we might have been able to do get somewhere, I know, it is not likely we would have done too much, But you never know. And what are you loling at? You have no idea what I know.
edit:
You can put a hold on incoming signals with backtrack, and you can inject packets or data into things, so it is not that hard to believe it might have been possible.

Sniffing packets with BT is not going to lead you to breaking 256bit encryption with your desktop, dude.
EDIT: Sorry, 128 bit.

Think of it this way, if the encryption were easy to crack nintendo wouldn't have bothered with it in the first place. Envryption is done to keep people like us out and it does a fine job of it to making things infeasible to compute

If it was as easy as "send a hack through (insert communication protocol here)", it'd have been done.

I know it is not easy, I was asking if there was a way, hard or not. I know it would not be as easy as "send command"... are all these useless replies really necessary.

edit: the useless replies comment was directed toward the troll above -.-
edit:edit Rydian is not the troll, mods took his post down.

Not just sniffing. Modifying or all the other things possible with backtrack.

edit: If you are not going to help me either find out a way to do it, or help me find out that is is impossible, go away..

modifying the encrypted content will break the signature check. so it's impossible. you won't be able to sign it without the keys that are hidden away not to be touched by humans. this won't do anything for you

Thank you. And thank you to all others who answered my questions.

I got all the answers I needed. Mods can close this down now.
