Yeah, and I think i now got a basic understanding of them, there is just a slightly problem... I have no way of knowing the addresses for 500, at least not a way that i am aware of?


Yeah, so we either need to do it blindly or convince comex to give me the binaries (again).

Alright I will play hide N seek with return addresses tomorrow when I wake up to see if I can get anything to happen on 5.0.0(probably I will end up blowing up,my console :P) now, I need to sleep bit first I really need to dig deeper into how the instruction set works, I only have a basic understanding, MN1 any docs to point me at?
 
What changes did 5.0.0 actually bring specifically to the browser? If nothing, stuff might just be a certain offset away from its 4.1.0 places, though that's being optimistic.

Nintendo likely didn't change anything, they just recompiled. That caused the generated assembly to change. Like you said, everything is probably a certain offset away.

I really just learned the basics (enough to understand PowerPC assembly at a simple level), and then use those, plus the rest of the internet, as references.

For everyone out there interested in exploring how the ROP works, it's a good learning experience, but the effort would be better spent on figuring out more of the Wii U userspace. That includes finding more SDK functions, learning how to use them, and possibly even making mini-games out of them. Exploring the userspace will definitely be beneficial when we want to write homebrew for the platform.

Also, any experienced hackers who want a crack at the kernel, IOS, or RPX loader, go ahead. ;)
 
Just to clarify, will this only block updates, or all web access. I can still access the Eshop after inputting the above, is this normal?

DD-WRT's "Access Restrictions" tab does not seem to allow you to block HTTPS (according to this source and backed up by findings by yourself and I). I'm assuming, being that the eShop uses SSL, updates are likely pushed under HTTPS as well. I thought I had an easy alternative, but I've edited my post to remove incorrect information.

Edit: I give up. Once I find something that works (or hopefully someone with more knowledge than me finds it first), I'll post it. Once I restart my Wii U, any "fix" to block updates goes away.
