Front-page Hacking  Updated

Switch TrustZoneHax on 4.x

nintendo-switch-15-1-630x354.jpg

​
The ReSwitched Hacking Team have done it again. motezazer, ktemkin and SciresM have achieved code execution on 4.1.0, the latest version at the time of writing this, via deja vu at TrustZone level. This means devices on 4.1.0 and below will be able to gain access to the whole system. SciresM strongly advises to not update in the future.

After less than a year, the Switch hacking team has moved extremely fast and now have got full access on the latest version. The progress being made is incredible, and in comparison, the 3DS took around 2 years to get ARM9 access. The scene is looking very promising so far and we are very lucky to have such talented people working on the Switch.

Yeah ok cool good job but again no release...
Not hyped anymore tbh until I have something in my hands. Also because I'm on 2.3... Let's hope this cfw comes soon.

Btw TX better start moving their asses if they don't want to lose their business before it starts.

Honestly should not expect a release until Deja Vu is fixed. As it's still exploitable on latest os, no reason to release. Also need the tools in place for custom content and a cfw (which i believe ScriesM is working on)

That's great news, although now that fail0verflow has shown off a coldboot exploit that works on every FW and is unpatchable, does it really matter?

I believe it does because we don't know if the releases by F0F and TX are legit or not. F0F, as everyone knows, is known for not releasing their work, and TX has, of course, not released in the past either. So until someone drops something, everything is in the air and everything matters.

So I'm on 4.x (whatever the minimum to load Mario oddessey is) . Should I update to whatever the latest firmware is and sit tight or just stay on whichever lower 4.x I'm currently on?

Great news, thanks!

My 4.1.0 Switch just said goodbye to internets just in case. This is the moment I've been waiting for.

Yeah, this sounds great, but do you think the custom firmware be hard to install? Do you think it's going to be for the end-user that just wants to play emulators and stuff? Or do you think this'll be taken the extra mile?

Also it's saddened me to hear that CFW for the Switch might come faster than the DSi's.

Stay in 4.1.0, dude.
And to be sure, disable internet connections altogether from the console as well.
Unless you play online, then go for the DNS route, but if you don't, better to have the console offline at all times.

A good PoC for what we knew was already possible, was a matter of finding a way around the memory controller so now we know its possible!

But... waiting around on 4.x is going to be a... while. Probably a long while.

You're still better off finding a 3.0.0, or ideally lower.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
