Hacking RELEASE CDNX - CDN Downloader

[Reisyukaku]

​

So it's my understanding that insecure CDN downloaders had been floating around, and so in the interest of discouraging people from running potentially dangerous code, I'll make this release thread for my implementation.

This implementation uses the same routines the console does in grabbing NCAs, as well, there are settings you can enter to aid in anti-detection.
As with most things, use with caution as there's no 100% safety guarantee.

Also this is very much so a work-in-progress! I don't have enough time in the day to work on it constantly so PRs are welcome.

For the people out of the know, what does this exactly do? What can this be used for?

Hopefully next simon can release a cfw...

This looks great though, thanks for release!

Wow
Thanks for this

@Reisyukaku send nudes.

Oh and good job

@SciresM Sorry to be that person, but do you mind providing your input on this? Does it really download like the console?

Thanks for the hard work either way, Reisyukaku!

I thought the whole thing that makes these insecure is the fact they use the console's certs.

You people are so nagging

From what I understand, the other CDN Downloaders for switch weren't sending the correct data to make it look 100% like a switch was downloading it, hence the danger. This one (supposedly) does. That's not to say it's 100% safe or won't get you banned, but the risk is much smaller.

You people are so nagging

Love you too!

It wasn't just though, I kept reading people say if you didnt purchase a game on a console then download the game using the console's certs nintendo can figure that part out.

I've been in the scene as long as Mike and we still talk so you can rest assured I know my stuff

Ah, I thought you mean the difference between this and the others. Yeah, it's as you said. If you download a game you don't purchase using your switch cert, it means Nintendo will know you're doing something funky.

To be honest, there's no reason IMO to use this to download games. This worked well for 3DS/VITA/Other systems because they used a common cert, but doing it with switch is taking a huge risk. Just get the games from another place. Not to mention they're not even able to be played yet.

Haha, I figured as much from some of the responses I've seen in other threads I just figured he was gonna get dragged in here sooner or later so I might as well do it and get it over with.

reinand for switch?

Say I wanted to download just an update for a game, but not the game itself. I own the game on cart (not that it matters). Can the program do this and what would be the likelyhood of me getting banned?

Sidenote, what even happens when you get banned?
