Hacking Crash WiiU via browser. Exploitable?

[Marionumber1]

When you hit home, you get a white screen like he had.

Interestingly, I've experienced this same behavior while using the browser exploit. CPU1, which does most of the actual work for applications, has been taken over by the hack, so pressing home fades out to white but does nothing else. This means that CPU1 is heavily occupied with something and not releasing the foreground as it should.

It'll eventually turn black. Now I'm no expert, and I'm not sure if you are, as I've never spoken to you before, but do you think this will get somewhere then? I'm just worried because you need the browser to connect to the internet before it launches, and I just removed the connection from my Wii U, to avoid updating. So maybe when I turn it back on if this ever becomes a "thing", and put the connection back on, since the firmware update installs post-reboot, I can activate the exploit before powering off, eh?

what do you think, could we use it for an exploit or something?

So that's why when I use the exploit my Wii U frozes... the only thing I can do to "unfroze" the console is using the rpc.exit() command, maybe when I say this could not work, I was wrong, this could be a possible hole in that case...

ChrisX930 I think you have done a great discover!, we don't know nothing yet, but it could work, so we need to make another ROP chain right?

There's still not nearly enough information to make a decision on that, we'll investigate it sometime soon. I just thought it interesting that there was similar behavior between this and the browser exploit.

Ah! So the browser exploit held the same result? Sounds like a good thing B)

They exhibit similar behavior when pressing the home button, which is interesting, but doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Chris, get ready to be known across the interwebzzzzzzzzzz...

Why not post this to a forum on Wololo's site? He's got some pretty awesome hackers/techy-guys on that site that may be able to help with this!

OKay, I'll do this in some minutes

Cool man! Careful though, some people over there can be a little... harsh. I'd mention the fact that you're not a hacker at all, and maybe that'd help a bit ^^. Maybe send them a link to this thread?

Good deal! Let's hope Wololo, or many of the other homebrew-esque devs over there can be of assistance! B)

 

[Thirty3Three]

Yeah, they can be a little slow to answer, but if/when they do, it'll likely be worth it B)

This glitchy something appears on the bottom of the gamepad if you turn off the Wii U after it crashed.

Probably nothing important, it just seemed weird.

I had this too.

You should post that image in on Wololo's site too B)

That also happens when utilizing the browser exploit.
