Yeah, it's a lot of speculation!

i guess what else would you expect if theres no news

There is a reason we are not putting out any news, we can't risk any sort of vulnerability from reaching Nintendo. Some of you have noted that like the ps4/ps5 the kernel can be exploited, this was due to the ps4 and ps5 running UNIX (like linux) and exposing tons of functions to userland. Horizon OS microkernel by contrast is built from the ground up and as a result is exceptionally small, the amount of functions exposed to userland is MUCH smaller, thus reducing something called the attack surface. Currently the hacking scene is seperated into different groups that focus on different areas of hacking. Some of us try to escelate privelages using the userland exploit that Gezine found, some of us try to exploit the security hypervisor, some of us are trying different types of voltage glitching (which is the area im in). The hidden hacking scene is scarce of "big wins" and full of "little wins". Whatever wins we get are closely guarded untill research and exploits are fully mature.

This thread turned into nothing but arguing and the subreddit turned into a shitpost subreddit lol.

This is actually very good to hear.

Thank you very very much for your message. It's very difficult to read news about progress in Switch 2 scene and knowing that there are people fully working on it is very encouraging. Really thanks.
