Hacking Hykem's 5.5 iosu Exploit

[josh87402]

Since nobody seems to know, the keys literally only can decrypt IOSU images. So if you feel like developing an exploit, you can do it yourself.

So basically, Hykem opened a gateway for other devs to create their own exploits, That's marvelous!

I have a question, Hykem delayed the exploit to February when he said that his vacations were extended to February?
Or he's just saying that He will work with naehrwert on February?

 

[gamer4lif3]

im confused is he still releasing exploit before February or extended till end of feb now?

 

[WiiuGold]

Hykem is Not going to release it just yet .. Just give him more time .. just set back and relax !!! its coming

So the next question is, do we update to FW 5.5.1 now? or still wait?

 

[windwakr]

Anyone know what IV is used when decrypting FW.img?

Not neccesarily, but tbh its probably safe. With those question marks, there are 4,294,967,296 possible combinations.

Uhh, how did you come up with that number? It's only 4 question marks, 4 bytes. There are 16 possible hex values each of those bytes could be. 16x16x16x16=65536 possible variations for the end of that key.
But also, so far all of the WiiU keys have been 16 bytes long... With 4 question marks that would make this key 18 bytes, which seems weird and unlikely. I think he might have just added those question marks to confuse us. In reality it's likely only two unknown bytes, and thus only 256 possible variations.

But either way, brute forcing even 65536 values is nothing.

Aren't these the same keys that have been circulating since

?

There's no ETAs guys! Calm your tits, he just confirmed to us he's alive and that he's still working hard on the exploit, we got even more chances of a way more stable exploit considering Hykem's vacation has been extended! For me that's amazing news! Stay well everyone.

What the hell? Why aren't we all fighting?

No, those keys do not match up.

Screw you man! We are fighting

Yeah don't mind me I messed up. The keys in the thread I posted are just Espresso, not security processors

 

[Thirty3Three]

Screw you man! We are fighting

Fucking GOOD!

For a second there, I thought this thread was about something other than trash-talking. Like, something silly... Like some hacking shit or something LOL.

That's pretty good, I thought it was too perfect to already exist. Then I noticed GBATemp/

So not only is it going, it works just as well on latest FW?
