    Hacking TSEC hacking challenge

    Falcon, in this context, is a specific, proprietary and entirely custom architecture made and kept fairly secret by nVidia. It had to be manually reverse engineered. It's mostly present in nVidia GPUs in order to enforce DRM.

    Tutorial How to get Switch Keys for Hactool/XCI Decrypting

    actually, no, no need for keys.txt. It generates %userprofile%/.switch/prod.keys, which hactool will automatically check for, and load if present. So, no need to ever do "keyset=keys.txt" just use hactool without it

    quite the opposite; you should *not* remove the FS_XXX_nogc.kip1 file.

    Well, you're missing masterkeys 1-3 so it's possible.

    Tutorial How to get Switch Keys for Hactool/XCI Decrypting

    It could be you're missing newer keys needed for the NCA or something. What system version are you on?

    Tutorial How to get Switch Keys for Hactool/XCI Decrypting

    Type "hactool keyset=" then drag your keys.txt into the cmd window from the file explorer. Alternatively, "mkdir %userprofile%/.switch" then "copy" drag keys.txt into the cmd window, then "%userprofile%/.switch/prod.keys" then you don't have to use --keyset= ever again. Also, hactool expects an...

    Tutorial How to get Switch Keys for Hactool/XCI Decrypting

    Not really sure what's up with that, I don't use any xcis or any of the tools associated with them for anything, I'm mostly trying to get this improved keys.py working right (so people don't encounter errors)

    Tutorial How to install/run ANY Switch firmware UNOFFICIALLY (WITHOUT burning any fuses)

    Meh, just boot HBL on the lower FW via loader replacement, then install "fake news" or whatever.

    Tutorial How to install/run ANY Switch firmware UNOFFICIALLY (WITHOUT burning any fuses)

    it probably does, but the point is to boot into a stock system, then open a game or something to trigger an exploit, to then load whatever you want.

    Tutorial How to install/run ANY Switch firmware UNOFFICIALLY (WITHOUT burning any fuses)

    the point is to keep everything functioning on lower FW. Imagine an exploit comes out (there's already sort of an example of this with PPT JPN) for lower FW that requires a cart based game. You go to downgrade and, oops, no way to do what you want. Keeping the cart slot in working order (or at...

    Tutorial How to install/run ANY Switch firmware UNOFFICIALLY (WITHOUT burning any fuses)

    It's a preventative measure, unfortunately. For example, forget to run hekate with the patched FS one time, and your cart slot won't work on lower FWs. It's kinda like burning a fuse, but for the cart slot controller.

    Tutorial How to install/run ANY Switch firmware UNOFFICIALLY (WITHOUT burning any fuses)

    I'm working on some FS patches to prevent the cart slot disable when updating, then downgrading to lower FW versions: I need testers. Anyone who wants to help, let me know :) NOTE: There may be the risk of losing access to your cart slot with my patches! I need someone willing to risk it. Also...

    Tutorial How to get Switch Keys for Hactool/XCI Decrypting

    The easiest way to do it is: type in keyz, then drag your boot0 file from the file manager window into the cmd window, as well as BCPK2 into the window (making sure theres proper spaces between everything)

    Tutorial How to get Switch Keys for Hactool/XCI Decrypting

    Much improved keys.py (rename forum attachment to keys.py) It: will take the name of BOOT0 and BCPK2-1-Normal-Main from the command-line, if desired (old names are still used if they aren't passed). Will automatically put the keyfile into the correct directory so hactool can just use it without...
