I recently thought of the fact that you can change the way you view your browser on a Wii U. For example I can view my Wii U as a iPhone or 3DS or and Android, but can these modes be used for exploiting? Just very curious.

he means user agent i think. but doesnt really change anything other than the browser detection index file that loads to direct you to correct exploit. even that i usually skip and just type it all in. but spoofing the user agent shouldnt enable anything unless they were hiding an android exploit

@jammybudga777 the Android exploit Stagefright is in Wii U 5.5 - we could make a Wii U kernel exploit from the browser itself.
He means user agent -- how you can make websites think you are visiting from a different device than the Wii U. And no @TheSockNaster it's not exploitable, but there is a web browser exploit for 5.3.2 and soon 5.4.0.

There's even a developer option on the browser options, not sure how far it's exploitable and if at all tho. Checked it too, there's not much you can do but the Wii U acts as a webserver then where you can view a website on your PC and it tells you a bit of things about the site you're currently on.
