16-year-old claims to have hacked Nintendo's developer portal, leaks 50GB of files

saddsaadsasdadsds.png

A fledgling hacker appears to have taken advantage of a lack of security on Nintendo's official developer portal, leading to the leak of over 50 gigabytes of internal files relating to the Nintendo NX, development tools, SDKs, and more. The hacker happens to be a 16-year-old, stating that they have little to no actual hacking experience. but still managed to have gotten credentials to a Nintendo developer account, and used it to grab whatever they could off the CDN, and then extract the proprietary compressed files. According to them, the leak contains:

- Documents related to the inner workings of the NX system (NX is the codename for Nintendo Switch)
- Development tools related to game development of Nintendo (NintendoSDK and Unity for NX)
- Source code related to tools by Nintendo that are used in many Nintendo Switch games!
- Backend code for Nintendo networking (NPLN, NEX, Pia)
- And a whole lot more (graphics, files, etc.)

Claims are easy.... Any credibility to the material being real?
It was fairly easy to find the original post on Google, I haven't downloaded it, but at least one guy on that forum did say any switch dev (3rd party or otherwise) has access to the materials he downloaded

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
