Console certificates are console-unique so you would not be able to simply 'inject' them and presto you're not banned anymore. But a developer could modify the filesystem so that it reads the certificate from a location outside of the console such as an SD card so it would appear to not be banned anymore.

Yes I'm guessing this could be done on emunand, can multiple copied cert be online at once tho?

Not for long, you'd have to go through dauth with redundant certificates (unlike CDNSP which doesn't hit dauth but even it eventually gets tracked down), trying to generate auth coins.

And if you already were stupid enough to get banned, no one's going to give you an unbanned cert for you to get banned again.

It'd be interesting if CFW can eventually use an alternative TLS cert provided by the user.

Then maybe you can buy one of those cheap screen cracked/shattered non-working "tablet only" Switches on eBay, somehow rip the TLS cert from it, and use it on a banned Switch.

Or use it along side emunand, such that the emunand contains the alternate cert, and all the piracy goods, while the sysnand's cert never gets touched. That way Ninty has no way to identify that the same physical console is being used in this fashion.

Legit play could then occur on sysnand, and piracy on the emunand, and never shall the two meet.

Kind of glad this isn't a thing or no doubt there would be tons of cert stealing... Anyone who gets banned deserves it imo. If I got banned I would have to accept it because I know I deserve it. Maybe a long time from now it will be possible though but I highly doubt it would anytime soon.
