Hacking Banning system is broken

[Lordjontan]

No, it's not safe, I just told you that Nintendo technically have ways to easily identify an installed title that does not come from the eshop.

There is no point in saying something is "safer", either it is safe or it isn't, for all you know they might come around tomorrow and start banning people using "non genuine" installed titles, hell they could be building a db for their next ban wave as we speak.

The truth is, as of today, until they add built-in APIs in FIRM to identify a running cfw (or a "non genuine" title) on an offline basis (yes they can do that with a fw update, gw folks just can't spot everything, sky3ds users are even in more trouble if let's say nintendo installs an offline database of "undesirable headers") the only way you can be "safe" is using your own dumps with the original headers dumped from your card.

By the way if you think that can't be done, Microsoft had a similar system in place on the Xbox360 to identify/flag consoles that were running backup or a modified kernel (with hashes checked in some areas of memory at runtime) even as they were disconnected from the xbox live. As soon as the console connected back to the Xbox Live servers, it reported its status, including the flag, which was stored safely in Microsoft's server for their next ban wave.

Let's just see the facts and not to speculate. Nintendo technically can do a lot of things

It's not speculation, they CAN do this (rather easily I must say), it's a fact. Whether they are doing it or going to do it in a foreseeable future is however unknown at this time.

If they can do it (especially as they could start at any time), then it isn't "safe" no matter how you keep telling yourself that.
If you intent on using that logic of yours, then it will be "safe" until you end up with a banned console.

Even if they didn't record a database of what headers came from which games, that's not to say they wouldn't change that practice, assuming they don't just add a way to detect the carts/modified system FW and base all their bans on easily obtainable info, I.e header info etc, in technical terms of difficulty to detect and ban, CIA files would be right at the top, followed by public headers, followed by incorrect headers for each specific title, followed by genuine dumps with matching header for that specific game........stands to reason that maybe they just skipped banning CIA users for now while they focus on shared headers, as that would affect both gateway and sky3ds users, next logical step would be going back and blocking CIA users

This could have been discussed in one of the previous threads.
