Hacking Be SURE To Block Updates!

[Muskusrat]

There's an update coming out March 31st, which can possibly mean anything. So if I were you, I'd block updates, TEST THEM NOW (if you already have them) and DO NOT UPDATE.

If you update and it patches the kernel exploit and we release it and you can't use it, don't come on here and whine please, because I'm giving a nice heads-up to those who want homebrew/piracy/whatever.

If you have not tried to block yet, here you go.

Thanks for the tip, update to 5.5.1 (had 5.5) and updated Mario Maker today and removed the internet connection.

Quantum computers...

Yeah I'm sure they'll crack a 20 digit random character password with I don't know 60 billion possible combinations of some irrelevant hacker whose work may affect like 0.0001% of Nintendo's income with a huge ass super computer cause it's so relevant to mankind

I've been kicking myself ever since I updated from 5.3.2 to 5.5.0 since August. It was totally worth it for one game of Smash online.

dunno if my math is right, but in hex a byte can be between 00 and FF, going through the characters 0123456789ABCDEF. 0xFF is 255 in decimal. including 00, that's 256 possible characters for a single byte.

if the key were two bytes, that means it can be between 00 00 and FF FF. 256 possible combinations for each byte. 256 * 256 = 65536, so 65536 possible combinations for the two-byte key.

if we take a 16 byte key like the 3DS and Wii U, that would be 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 * 256 (or 256 ^ 16). that would make it 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 or basically 340 undecillion possible combinations. that's 39 decimal digits. (I had to use Wolfram Alpha for this due to the large number.)

you could probably bring it down if you only count characters you can type normally on a keyboard (like letters, digits, etc.), but it's still going to be pretty big.

I'm sorry, I'm kinda bored, so I did this. but encryption's fun, isn't it?


...with that said, I checked my console and re-added tubehax to it. I removed it once to use youtube but forgot to re-add it I guess. I'm not going to make the same mistake with 5.3.2/5.4.0. I think I remember hearing 5.5.0 didn't patch anything, and then turns out it did.

And the next day (April 1st) the kernel exploit will be released... Coincidence?

 

[Cava]

May the exception proves the rule ( i mean it's 1st of April but the exploit will real and you're not will be fools. ) Anyway nintendo decided to release miitomo and enchanced eShop in 31st of March..so

That would be funny though

Haha yes imagine if it is real and everybody just thinks it is fake!

 

[leonmagnus99]

just imagine> april fools day = exploits released which unleash our WiiU's into beast mode.

emuNAND/redNAND support just like the 3ds, region free from start USB launcher support.

never going to happen

 

[leonmagnus99]

ya never know, it just might ..

dayum, i would use my WiiU at least alot more than i do now XD ..

fun homebrew stuff, hot damn i am so busy with the 3ds consoles of mine, i am more into the homebrew stuff than the actual gaming..
so to have it unlocked is so much fun , just like with phones.

the iphone jailbroken is most likely fun for those that love customization.

and also for myself , i am an Android user, and i root every damn phone that i have gotten.

the start was with my Galaxy S2, some 5years ago or so.
then it was the Galaxy S5, and now i am a Nexus 6 user.
i root the shit out of them and unleash them into beast mode and run whatever i want on them.

and when i can do similar things to my gaming consoles i dont think twice of doing so when it is possible, so i will just keep my hopes up abit for this one, because i love the WiiU.

it just needs Beast Mode, then i will love it more for sure LOL

My router is ready.

The April fools thing is too good to be true, though.

I smell Kernel Exploit coming.

I smell Kernel Exploit coming.

Why?

 

[Antonio Ricardo]

Why?

Sixth Sense.

 

[Deleted-355425]

Fuck another kernel exploit, we want iosu.

 

[Antonio Ricardo]

Fuck another kernel exploit, we want iosu.

MN1 has his own IOSU, maybe untill end of year will be released.
There are other devs working on CFW (boot1,etc) like @Datalogger, we have to wait.
Not because hykem go out the project're canceled, there are more working devs but it take more time.
