Hacking [WIP] KARL3DS - Kernel access on N3DS via Ninjhax + Loadcode

[DSoryu]

Actually we're mostly doing N3DS research.

Oh well, so there is a chance to figure out the new encryption method I guess... but in a sort of har mode

 

[WulfyStylez]

So I quickly thought up some clever hax today, and long (and confidential) story short we can decrypt 9.6 NATIVE_FIRM now! That new encryption isn't the only problem, though...

That was certainly fast!

Keep up the good work guys

What's the other problems?

Found a crazy vuln. Allow me to take this moment to remind people: IF YOU'RE ON SYSNAND 9.5 OR LOWER (9.6 or lower on old3ds maybe, don't chance it though) MAKE A NAND BACKUP. DO IT RIGHT NOW. You will regret not doing it in the future, otherwise.

That is all I'll say for now.

We found it.

wow, but how to back-up on sysnand 9.5?

You'll have to back up through hardware (sd reader, etc.) to back up on 9.5.

Let's hope this will be worth it

Nand backup done and in safe place.

If I don't use system update, is it same with backing-up nand in final results?

For now, yes.

Wow, that sounds urgent! Is my 3ds going to spontaneously sprout some new security measures while I'm asleep?

Nice job finding a vuln btw

You should probably have a NAND backup anyway, just in case a scenario where something comes along later down the line does occur.

 

[mordorer]

if you manage to obtain emunand 9.6 ... please release KARL, we want to use eshop, update our games, download apps. Before 9.7 comes!!

You're tickling my imagination

Do you speak about new NCCH encryption?
It could be never broken...

Is there a way to get my 9.2.0-12 2DS to 9.2.0-20? Because it seems like a -20 ninjhax won't work on a -12 console and I don't want to redo the ninjhax everytime I switch between consoles, so it would be best if all had the same firmware version.
