Hacking fail0verflow releases coldboot exploit proof of concept

[V-Temp]

In the end although their starting to care (there probably WILL be online bans) I don't think Nintendo cares.

Nah they definitely do, they wouldn't have changed so much of the old ticket system (good read from Scires: https://www.reddit.com/r/SwitchHacks/comments/759myu/the_eshop_and_cdn_explained_switch_edition/) nor added the unique public keys to make bans trackable and permanent.

I wouldn't say I am being pessimistic. This will cause progress but it comes at a, potentially, large price if what I think will happen, happens. Worst part, if this can be ipatched, we won't even know until someone buys a new Switch and suddenly can't do anything.

Bootloader bugs just aren't something you really want revealed <1 year in and even less so when the reason is because someone just wants to make a quick buck.



Ideally it will take a while with a lot of anti-piracy layers in what the devs make, but of course the rush is always towards warez/piracy garbage.

I agree, the worst of it will hinder quite a bit.

I can tell this will be a great year.

If you're going to mock lack of exclusives, then XB1 is the obvious target. Switch had more exclusives than any other console last year, as just about everything from PS4 made its way to PC.

the joke was about the new 3ds only having 2 exclusives though

 

[YeezusWalks]

But doesn't it have more?

Excluding SNES games, 22.

Ah...

To be fair, a lot of those games are very basic (like Brick Race). If I'm not mistaken, the New 3DS allows developers to port simple games from Unity very easily.

the boot looks like 1.0/ there is only 2 things in the news feed. correct me if i am wrong though.

Yes my 1.0 that never connected to wifi shows the same thing.

I just hope for emunand so i can update to the latest and have basically a way to revert to whatever firmware kinda like RX tools was for the 3ds

For the wii u it came as a suprise, just at once out the corner a french guy released backup method.
Maby will get same suprise on the switch.

Dont cout on failoverflow

...

That explains why its called the "Brazilian USB loading method"

Too bad the average memory around here is too garbage to recall things that happened >1 year ago.

In essence, don't count on Team Overflow releasing jack shit It worked for the Wii U, Switch will likely be the same lol

 

[leon315]

Fuk money leecher, fuk team xecuter!!!

 

[Imparasite]

its failoverflow wowww lol they just teasing people thats all. nothing to hype people

 

[Medveitsi]

*wishes persona 5 was on PC...*
EDIT:sorry if im a bit offtopic...

Just get a ps3. They are cheap nowadays

 

[Jayro]

So now we have 4 teams working on the switch
-plutoo
-fof
-reswitched
-xe

Yeah, but f0f never releases anything more than a tease of their abilities, so I'd just count 3 unless they ACTUALLY release something.

 

[Daggot]

They won't release it, it'll be the same as the Wii U. This was to challenge themselves and to prove that it was possible.

 

[leon315]

The possibility that this exploit could get leaked is very high, I think they won't release ANYTHING until they complete the hack yet

 

[Spectral Blizzard]

The days when Team-Twizzers actually did something.
...
They will be missed.
Unless this bullshit actually gets released.

I think a lot of people in this thread are forgetting that like any team of developers, fail0verflow owes us nothing. We're not entitled to a release of any of their, or any other team's work. Everything we have at this point have been gifts.

While a PoC is surely not as fun as a public release, it still shows what can be done on the system.
