Does this have any benefit for banned console users? Since a 002-0102 ban for instance prevents someone from using online services such as Pokemon Bank and accessing the Friends List applet, would this be a workaround? Just curious, not that I need it personally.

the CCC expo unvieled a flaw (Hardware meaning the need to make a new revision of the 3ds to fix) the hax is called Sighax it hasn't been implimented yet basicly it allows fake signing cfw to be installed directly on the 3ds meaning no arm9loaderhax.bin on an SD card needed the reason why ti hasn't been used yet nobody has decrypted a bootrom (It is possiable one of the presenters showed the SHA checksum once thats done and the bootrom code made public THEN sighax can be used btw Gaming I would share your data with multiple devs in case you do get C&D'd mainly those in Europe where the DMCA doesn't exist as i note your in the USA meaning nintendo CAN ( and probably will) nail you

I believe nasc is Nintendo's authentication server when logging in. I'm not as experienced with networking, but I'm pretty sure Nintendo network relies on multiple servers for matchmaking and other server functionalities. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello there, I've been recently trying to reverse engineer Nintendo Network so we can have a Nintendo Network custom server!

Currently here are my findings:
3DS connects to nasc.nintendowifi.net:443 which I think is the Nintendo Network server.

Anyways here is a image of it returning blank data which is a start!

Anyways help is appreciated!

I just hope you're someone who knows what you're doing instead of someone who doesn't know too much and proposes a project with no hope for delivery.

Boy what a state of paranoia this community lives in. Why would Nintendo come after this? All he's done so far is redirect a DNS request (I'm assuming). One problem I see here, though, is the system expecting a specifically signed certificate for server authentication since these services are over SSL. But I guess I'll wait and see.

excuse me if im wrong but aren't bootroms specific to each system? so they would have to make software for each individual 3ds or am i misinformed?

sighax is a flaw in how bootrom checks signatures, the normal FW is not suseptible to this kind of flaw, basically afaik the only 2 things that can be tricked by sighax is the ncsd header on the nand and the FIRM signature, you cannot sign anything that the actual FW on the console would be tricked by

Wrong. Nintendo doesn't take down regular homebrew.
