Hacking Question So is 3.0.1 really not exploitable?

[DarkenSX]

Obviously not with 3.0.0 method.
But seeing as at the time of this writing current version is 3.0.2 and as per it's change log "
Improvements Included in Version 3.0.2

• Nintendo Switch Online
  • Added online play in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Peru. This is currently available for free until the paid online service launches in 2018

>>>

• General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience"<<<<

Something must have been patched they didn't want access to as we know Sony does this to cover the the fact they patched up something useful to hackers not always but a good 95% of the time. So back to my question what's the probability of 3.0.1 being exploitable?

 

[ken28]

Short answer:no it isn't.
Longer answer: we don't know yet but as of now no exploits for 3.0.2 are publicly known.

 

[Alkéryn]

Short answer : it is and always will be, there are always unfound exploits
though at the moment there are no public one released

It's most likely exploitable but a whole another question is will anyone ever find an exploit. I have a feeling that if/when 3.0.1 is hacked 3.0.2 will be too, but when that happens we could possibly be at >10.x.x

 

[Bakugo]

They patched a very useful exploit in 3.0.1.
There are probably other exploits still left but for now they are not known.

 

[Seliph]

We don't know yet, it probably is although the exploit will come along in like a year or something.

 

[subcon959]

I doubt many people are spending time trying to find something on 3.0.1 when they can just develop actual homebrew on 3.0.0 now. There's just not anything to gain from it. I wouldn't expect much until further down the road when later firmware actually add something worthwhile. Remember, it's not about whether or not there are vulnerabilities in any given firmware, it's about whether the right people are interested enough to spend a lot of time and effort finding them.

Who knows, nintendo slipped up with 3.0 exploit, maybe will slip up again in later updates or even new ones to be found. Meanwhile, enjoy your switch.

 

[ByteBite]

So back to my question what's the probability of 3.0.1 being exploitable?

100%.

That is not the question you should be asking. The correct one is "Will someone discover an exploit for 3.0.1?"

That one doesn't have an answer.

 

[jijipwn]

i want someone to find an exploit on 3.0.2,
until then, SPLATOON 2

 

[DoubleSwitched]

You can exploit the 3.0.1 bearing if you throw hard your switch.

 

[cearp]

'stability update' doesn't necessarily mean some entry point had been fixed.

 

[lordelan]

I don't have a Switch yet for financial reasons.
The fact that 3.0.1 and above is not hackable is giving me headaches as I'm thinking about where to get the f*cking money to buy one right now to be sure to be on 3.0.0 or below.
So it would be nice that if there's anything on 3.0.1 or above, even if it is private for now, someone would write it here so I don't have to worry or rush myself in buying the console now.

You don't have to worry or rush regardless. It's just a console

 

[lordelan]

It's like it has been designed just to be used with RetroArch, you know?
RetroArch on Wii U is so great and a Switch is a Wii U portable, nothing else.
So that'd be the main reason to buy a Switch.
Nevertheless I would want to play Zelda BotW on it as well which excludes a portable Android device with a bluetooth gamepad.
So as a RetroArch fan, it's not "just a console", it's "the console".

The only thing people care about is piracy from this exploit. Well, and save fiLe managers.

 

[InsaneNutter]

Sooner or later newer firmwares will be, just enjoy the games for now.

I won't lie about my pirating behaviour on the Wii U but as for the Switch I'm only interested in homebrew.
There's only a few interesting games for me which I would buy (BotW, MK8, Stardew Valley).
Savegame manager would be good indeed. Also a way to install games (at least legally bought eShop games) to an attached USB drive should be possible.

If you count RetroArch and roms as piracy as well although the games are pretty old then yeah ... I want the Switch "for piracy".

That's a really nice opinion you got there, if not a little off base.

The Save file manager is a funny party of it. All want it but no one took a little more though into it.
If you have it, what next? Yeahi you can MAYBE cheat with a little bit of effort. Nice! Unless your switch breaks, you send it to repair and get a new one where you can't restore your save file.
And yeah, the piracy thing.
