Hacking Apparently the X1 bootrom was leaked

[Codiox]

As it seems the Tegra X1 bootrom was leaked a couple of hours ago on pastebin.

Now everybody can find the exploit without the hassle of dumping the bootrom themselves.

Let the games begin...

OMG!!!

Oh boy.

@SciresM Could you comment on this? Is this good or bad?

I wonder if this will lead to a surge in release activity.

Isn't this massively illegal making the whole bootrom public?

It is I think.

Its pretty much pirating the Nvidia IP imo.

 

[WiiUBricker]

Nintendo right now.

When has that ever really stopped anything?

Edit: I don't know if I'm allowed to post hashes here, but if you just google the bootrom hash (was posted publicly a while ago) + "pastebin", you can download the dump yourself.

Er, I wouldn't read too much into this. It's not exactly trivial for most people to RE the boot rom, let alone find vulns.

Ask Geohotz and Sony

Nvidia have some serious clout and i imagine will be gunning for the culprit after this.

That's the point though, regardless of Sony's actions, the information was disseminated. And Geohotz ultimately didn't get in that much trouble.

Cool, however I feel that most people who could actually do something with this probably already has a way to obtain it. Cool nonetheless though.

 

[souler92]

sooo how do we use it tho?

He also didn't release anything and was pretty much driven off the scene so in Sony's eyes. Job done. Sent the message loud and clear.

Ups, if these is true let’s start the party...

i dont know if this is good or bad for us, anyway i am on 5.0.1 for error so i cound nt do anything without hardmod right now

 

[Sephirosu]

Literally typed "Tegra X1 Boot ROM (Nintendo Switch) pastebin" and got a file. So what can we even do with this without some instructions?

Right now sure, but SciresM has said every switch with this tegra has the same vuln and it can only be fixed with a hardware revision. Your switch will eventually be hackable too.
