Hacking Switch unban?!

[Krude]

oops u rite

The error in your screenshot is still not the 2124-4508 ban code he showed in the video.

So what exactly were you trying to demonstrate here, aside from stupidity?


Here, just for you, a screenshot of my own, from the video on the OP:

I edited my post but I couldn't remove the screenshot. That's why I said "oops u rite."

Edit: Also, eat a dick

My bad, i missed the tiny edit note and it sounded more like a sardonic gotcha that way, with the intentional misspellings.

Also, i will.

Why should I do a fake video?

Do you know who I am?

So shut up to say stupid things. The video is real, and recorded in live. If you own a cert, not banned, and you've got a switch banned, then you're ready to try and you're ready to burn your unbanned cert.

I didn't show any step by step because many people with too much hype will use it to do a test and they will ban their certs. As the video shows it is a proof of concept.

Can you unban your switch? Yes. ( During 24 hours, and then renewing token again )
Should you try this method? No, because the cert will be banned in one day, or a couple.

The explanation of this is very easy, it is just knowledge comprehension. It you're not ready to understand, then you can keep on talking about the Big Bang.

Cheers.

jeez this guy is angry LOL. Just chill and stop that aptitue. People who get desperate for a comment in internet are the worst.

Ah, you have to open the full editor to delete the image.

Anyway, my bad too.

So he's using the proxy to get a valid token onto his Switch and then once the Switch has the token it's good until it expires. That actually does make sense since the Switch has a command to request cached token and it only goes and gets a fresh one if the cached one is expired: https://reswitched.github.io/SwIPC/ifaces.html#nn::nim::detail::IShopServiceManager(1)

I was under the impression that tokens now get authenticated on hardware ID as well, so you can just cache a token blindly. But this also seems trivial for them to fix, and still requires an unbanned certificate to generate a token... which itself would end up a target for a ban.

What he is doing is intercepting the consoles communications with Nintendo servers and this calls and requests happen in the very start of the console... Meaning you can intercept the requests with a computer a program I forgot the name... And this will send a different token to the Switch which it will grant access to eShop and Nintendo services... Such as updates... The token last 24 hours and obviously after that you will be greeted with the ban message..

This honestly could be beginning of something real. As far as I know Blawar is involved in this project somehow...

Don't discard it just yet... Wait and see. If this works in an automated way then we will probably get a stable unbanning process in the future.

You're not really unbanning, you're passing the buck until the cert is lost. And it depends on them not even further altering their token rules.

Thats fake
1. error code is different.
2. Proxys could send a different Cert but this is encrypted and nobody know how he could translate it.
3. This Program looks like a debugger like Fiddler.

Hi Everyone, i was the guy who telled retro about the unban method. This was possible for months now... And its still possible but you're getting banned for sure. This method needs an unbanned certificate or a valid device_auth_token that dauth gives to you. Some months ago there was no problem using this method... But now Nintendo can detect this and ban your cert in the next ban wave. Yes, you can get unbanned by doing this method but not for a long time as this tokens are only valid for 24 hours since the creation of them. Don't do this, you will get banned.

Well not calling it fake ... I've seen a lot of stuff be possible still with Nintendo's current OS etc.
But I lack the Spanish skills.

In general het seems to be 'spoofing' the not burned cert on the banned console.
Quite interesting though. But I think this is not a safe method to just start trying.

Still kudos for achieving the result!

Fake video, though, as many people have pointed out, you can replace a banned cert with a unbanned cert ripped from another Switch if you have the right set of CFW patches. But Nintendo will easily be able to detect that and will quickly fix it the moment that said method goes public.

I wouldn't call the video fake so much as the idea behind it isn't really tennable due to the changes on the tokens and that you're still needing valid certificates to use in a way that already resulted in you getting banned in the first place.

The video is fake. You can't do enough of the process with a proxy (like Charles, etc) alone to get to the eShop. You need CFW patches, you need to be booting with valid, unbanned ProdInfo.

Then fake is not the appropriate word here.

Hum. Okay I see what you mean here, you are correct! My apologies.

 

[Jikkyou]

Looks fake, bans are cert related, nothing to do with the network, the theory going around is that you have to replace the cert to get unbanned, for now, it looks like not possible. These guys on youtube are just trying to get views to be honest.

looks like what you said is fake

This is not fake, if you don't want to believe it... Ok. But don't say its fake cause its not. There's something in charles called Client Certificates that you can use to Spoof the switch cert and there's a github page with an exefs_patch that disables ssl certificate validation. With that, you can intercept and (if you want to) use breakpoints to edit requests and responses at real time. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself...

However, he doesn't edit anything on the proxy during the session. I still think it's a simple bait and switch (pun intended)

do you still think it is bait ? can I ask politely why?

 

[machachu56]

However, he doesn't edit anything on the proxy during the session. I still think it's a simple bait and switch (pun intended)

That's because he already configured the cert on the Charles Client Certificates tab.... He doesn't need to do anything more: Switch ----- Charles Proxy with a valid cert when connecting to dauth... ------ Nintendo Servers

This is the start of something big. It all starts with an easy unban for 24 hours, then it evolves. Believe, people!
