Hacking 3DS 6.3 Exploit Found

[Oxybelis]

I'd hold off exploit till next major version. Maybe around E3.

 

[Huntereb]

they did fix that bug in 7.0.

Then how is it possible to port this 6.3 exploit to 7.0?

Where there's a will, there's a way.

 

[mat128]

why give up a real chance to CFW, Video Player without time limit ? Hum... watch out ! what they want is : force us to upgrade the system to 6.x or 7.x and to exorcise the 'phanton' of piracy once and for all

smealum isn't destroying your 4.5 3DS, some other hackers can get to work on a CFW while can work on his homebrew loader for 6.3-7.X

Then how is it possible to port this 6.3 exploit to 7.0?

There are two exploits: MSet Haxx (which is the "entry point" for the hackers and it's in the DS Username settings) and the real User Mode/ Kernel Mode exploit which allows us to get more rights. We can use a savegame exploit etc. instead of MSet Haxx.

That is so true, back in the day (SNES, PSX, Dreamcast generations) people freely released just about everything. The PSX homebrew community was huge, as was the Dreamcast, because people shared anything they found.

Must've been a different time back then. I can't remember wanting to hold on to information, and I was excited to release whatever I could. I'm quite proud that my contributions led to a homebrew scene on the Genesis, SMS/Game Gear, Saturn, Neo Geo, and CDi (still waiting for that one to take off).

Then again, that's what I saw. The SNES scene started with a few people releasing stuff, same with the Gameboy scene.

It WAS a different time back then, those consoles didn't have firmware updates that could block exploits. That's why things can't be as open as they used to be.

 

[depat]

so wait my mt card is in danger if i update it?

 

[williamcesar2]

I'm sure this new exploit is not good

 

[gamefan5]

Can we get back to the main topic at hand pwease?

I hardly think that the limitations of SSSpwn are anything but small but not to devalue the achievement that homebrew enabling is.

ok so highlighting "problems" that are beyond smealums control, then trying to imply they are because of smealum.....yeah this exploit does seem to conveniently fit in with smealums ethics/morals pretty conveniently , but really the negatives are null and void on the grounds that without this exploit there would be zero homebrew past 4.x anyway....so despite its limitations compared to current 4.x exploit this development is 100% positive

Those are not "problems". They are problems. They are very real and not mythical and not insignificant at all. Your quotes are misplaced.

What? Implying that it's smea's fault? Where on earth did you get that. It's a problem with SSSpwn. Its not a problem with smea.

Yes. I agree. SSSpwn on 6.x and 7.x and 8.x is a 101% positive development but with severe limitations (primarily no ARM9 code execution)

can we end this now?

 

[lambstone]

Sure! Just don't false imply what I'm trying to imply.

I'm sure this new exploit is not good

No. This exploit is fantastic. Why? It significantly increases the homebrew target 3dses. It pretty much covers all the 3dses that are in store right now. Anyone can waltz right in and get a 3ds and have homebrew running on it. ARM11 homebrew that is. Best part is that there are so many 6.x boxed sets around. The retailers can't be forced to update to latest version before seller as those goods would then be unsealed.

But yeah. this exploit is fantastic news coupled with SSSpwn which allows you to run ARM11 code homebrew. All it doesn't allow is ARM9 code which I presume is everything else other than homebrew (still really can't get a list of other stuff based on ARM9 at the moment)

Arm9 is really only used for the security aspect, arm11 is where you want to be running your homebrew...granted "some" homebrew may benefit from having extra access to more secure regions of the 3ds.....but most normal homebrew including emulators etc should work fine in user mode afaik

we will just have to wait and see what the "real" limitations are as right now its just people guessing

I agree with the real limitations bit which is why after a discussion with foxi a couple of pages up, I stopped mentioning the list of possible limitations.

All we know for a fact is that SSSpwn which is the stage 2 component of the 6.x exploit does not allow for ARM9 code execution.

And all I have found about arm9 code execution so far is http://projectpokemon.org/news.php?article=140

gained ARM9 code execution on the 3DS. From there, he worked to open, read, and write files on the ARM9, which is the security CPU on the 3DS. Since it's the security CPU, it has access to almost everything on the 3DS, including all 128MB of the FCRAM

And gaining ARM9 access sounds amazing similar to gaining kernel access which allows for the other fantastical stuff to work.

yeah i haven't said that arm9 wouldn't be good to have, just that if we can't its not the end of the world hombrew still has all the same resources available to it as any full blown retail game.....it just cant access absolutely everything

Yeap. It's not the end to the homebrew scene. If we can't have arm9 it just means all we have is homebrew, kinda like an alternative eshop.

AMR11 homebrew >>>>>>>>> AMR9 homebrew, isn't it ? what are you complaining about ?

Ninja'd you.

Also. ARM9 allows the creation of lower level apps. ARM11 allows you to create everything that current games can do.

Which is already amazing. I don't exactly see what more could u possibly want.
