Misc Debunking the banwave claims that seemed to be going around

[Clothahump]

From what people are saying on thread at r/3dshacks; the ban is for anyone who pirated/ripped USUM then used the official eshop to update to 1.2 is banned

This can't be the trigger because while I do have US and UM, and both of them on 1.2, I did not update through the eShop and I still got banned.

I just got banned today

I just unbanned mine, just search for an unbanned LocalFriendCodeSeed_B, then follow this guide:

Is it possible to check whether a LFCS_B is valid without putting it into a 3DS? By that I mean, check if it works with Nintendos Servers? Because if so, you could brute-force one until you get one that is a copy of one that already exists.

I sudjest everyone to use a public seed if you want to keep your private seed unharmed untill we figure out the real banwave trigger.If your private seed hasn't been hit yet,it's only a matter of time until it gets hit by the random waves that happen several months later.Spotpass and other theorys from the wave before this one have been proven wrong thanks to this new wave.

I don't think so.

 

[SirNapkin1334]

I should start selling my seeds to people individually, then they can buy one that nobody else besides me has.

Selling seeds seems a bit shady unless you are being honest about them being public.You can never prove a sold seed is private.

You're not going to brute force an RSA signature.

Oh. Yeah, I had forgotten about that part. And since that parser isn't in the bootrom, well, I guess only firmwares are sighaxable.

Sounds like they got pissed off with not selling enough USUM copies so bundled anti-cfw checks into the recent patch.

Glad I hadn't gotten around to patching it yet. Cause I pirated it. After the shit games S/M turned out to be, they don't deserve the cost of a full game for USUM.

Would it be possible to take two banned seeds, mix together the data in the hex editor and get random working seeds? I know that is underhanded and could get innocent people's seeds banned if it ends up being similar to a private one, but it could be useful in general...

Two wrongs don't make a right

But seriously, no.

Just wondering stupid thoughts since we DO have things like copying the movable seed to the LFCS and stuff

 

[teelo]

No. RSA doesn't work like that.

I'm not banned yet.I don't have any Pokemon games. I do sometimes use homebrew while online, so I know I'll get banned eventually.

 

[ThoD]

Everyone who's not banned yet really should switch to a public seed temporarily until this dies down to avoid anything happening to their private one.

A public seed is one downloaded from online? To switch to a public one, I just need the LocalFriendcodeSeed_B file, right? (while keeping a backup of the original one) I'm still pretty new to the modding scene, so I'm still catching up on how everything works.

Yeah. Also change your serial number in your SecureInfo file, open it with GM9's hexeditor, at at the end, all the rest will appear to be garbage (I believe it's region-related info).
