Homebrew Nintendo now has a 3DS bug bounty page open

[hacksn5s4]

Hackerone is a legit bug bounty website.

any one can still make one of these on that site

There's no way in hell that Nintendo would make a system that requires you to be on the latest firmware to use.

you read it wrong. it would not require the latest firmware to run, it would prevent files from older system updates from replacing newer ones. (Downgrading)

for example, 11.2 will boot with a 10.4 FIRM right now if I replace it.
with what I am describing,the console will refuse to boot 11.2 if a 10.4 FIRM is present.

• Confirm that the vulnerability is not widely known to the public.

Well......XD

would you rather alot of money or exploits not be patched

why not both. just take the money then reverse your code.

Exploits not being patched, 22,000.00$ Doesn't compare to a 1,000,000.00$ worth of money. It helps me save A LOT of money.

this would still not allow you to release it for others. my guess is that if you took the money and released it (even if it was someone else who released it without permission) Nintendo would pull the money from you via court, etc.

Ugh, just when i thought we were clear. Think us users with a9lh would be safe at this moment?

not for long that pokemon leak really pissed them off.

We are safe and likely will be for a while. Just make sure you have hardmod whever updating or wait until confirmed safe

 

[hacksn5s4]

this sounds a bit shady and not real though

a9lh has write protection so they would have to make there own exploit to get pass that

They could easily patch the exploit however

What pathetic dork would seriously do this? If I had a legitimate and unique hack, and wanted to profit from it, I would demand a salary or hold it ransom for the community. $100 is just sad...

that would be completely legal as it is Nintendo's own code and hardware. what they would want to do is to overwrite A9LH properly on 3DS so they do not brick thousands, if they even care.

Hear that? It's the sound of someone taking out of their ass.

 

[xtheman]

Here that? It's the sound of someone taking out of their ass.

They really could patch the exploit. Various trusted devs have stated that.

 

[hacksn5s4]

still it would be bypassable by a luma or a9lh update or using a modded firmware

 

[Aletron9000]

For right now, they haven't and hopefully it stays that way

 

[Mikemk]

At least this shows that Nintendo doesn't intend the Switch to replace the DS line.

Hear that? It's the sound of someone taking out of their ass.

They can't brick A9LH users, but they can patch it such that the user has to remove A9LH to use the system.
