Homebrew 9.5 Encryption Broke By Yellows8

[Slushie3DS]

Smea posted this to his twitter earlier. I wonder what this means for the Gateway boys.

 

[migles]

please tell me this can be used for cfw or something not behind gateways ass :C

 

[Multiboy2k]

Yup.

 

[Shubshub]

Well this sounds rather awesome

So if the encryption is broken whats possible now?

That still has yet to be shown. It does mean that it is bypass-able, at least.

 

[KidIce]

It tells us that it can be done, and from their point of view easily. What this means for the GW boys is they might end up looking a bit naff if they can't get it done as well.

Complete emuNAND on N3DS will surely happen "soon". </sarcasm>

Emunand 9.5+ for New 3DS from Gateway, probably.

That's not very exciting....
I'd rather be told "Oh yeah that means we can get stufff running on 9.5 like homebrew and stuff

Last time it took them 8 months to crack it. Think about it for a minute...
(There wasn't emunand for 8 months and new games weren't supported)

But EmuNAND means nothing to me cause I don't have a Gateway

Yes, because the WHOLE WORLD revolves around you.

Well your telling me to think about it for a minute
When it doesn't even involve me cause I can't use it so what's the point of telling me about it

To prevent this going into a flamewar I'm not replying again

 

[WiiUBricker]

9.6 incoming.

 

[Slushie3DS]

Take your petty garbage out of the thread, plebs.

Good idea, misinterpretations can lead to, well.... nasty things.

Stops enthusiasms (expecially the guys hoping for cfw).
Yellows8 is a genius. He is the guy behind all 3ds stuffs in 3dsbrew. He has cfw for every sysnand, but he does this for himself (maybe with some hacker friends together), so no public release. The only cfw in the wild (the one leaked) was his own work.
What this mean for the scene? That new protections can be breaked, now gateway team must work on this and no one knows the they could achieve this.
Unless yellows8 isnt a gateway team member (who knows), or eventually if he choses to sell them the way to break the new protection

9.6.0
Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.

IIRC another person also managed to hack it as well, and all the other keys could be extracted already (ie the rest of Nintendo's trap cards to stop emuNAND on N3DS). So whatever plans Nintendo had to block emuNAND with this are gone. They really messed this one up.

EDIT: So it seems that the patchability is actually kind of uncertain. At this point I'm not certain if mathieulh's findings are 100% correct or not since he says this exploit basically killed their security, while others are saying this isn't 100% the end in terms of keys and stuff. For the record, I'm not an expert at any of this stuff so take what I say with a grain of salt. :x

EDIT #2: This is definitely patchable according to yellows8, not sure why mathieulh made it seem like this wasn't patchable outside of hardware.

And now we will have a new GW announcement...

I'm starting to think Smea & Yellows8 are from GW team

Dude, this same conspiracy theory has been thrown around like fifty times. They aren't Gateway.
