Hacking derrek: we also got the #NintendoSwitch TrustZone code!

[zoogie]

SciresM will beat him to the punch.

I really hope so. There's at least a chance of release if that would be the case.

inb4 derrek & pals get Hykem'd

 

[wormdood]

This aint no game man! These people have lives too! He cant risk getting his life fuked up by lawyers and Nintendo coming after his as*..

You realize how serious this can be? Take a look at GeoHotz.. a fine example

poor example yeah he lost to sony . . . do you remember him beating the much more well endowed apple?

fyi he did not stop hacking and die after he lost to sony (he started a "go fund me" that paid for all his legal fees) he also still works in android among other things

WE HAVE TRUSTZONE!
LETSGOLETSGOLETSGO!!!!

*THEY not WE

No, really. That soon into the console life? They'll end up in the same situation as Hykem if they really destroy the console's security.

For those who don't know, I believe Trustzone is the ARM processors in-built security system. If they have that already, that's pretty big.

It isn't really a surprise since ARM exploits work on most other ARM devices.

It's just an code. It's like kernel dump, useless to us.

 

[Slattz]

Can't wait for the release that'll only happen because there'll be a rival release (cough sighax cough)

Indeed.

"There is no reason to get hyped for trust zone.... and kernel...."

There still isn't a reason tbh, this doesn't mean much for the end user atm. And after all, this is derrek we're talking about ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Coincidentally, Google's Project Zero published an article detailing potential exploits in ARM TrustZone software today. In particular, there's an exploit in most Qualcomm implementations and older versions of Trustonic’s Kinibi TEE, which is present in Samsung's Exynos-based phones prior to the Galaxy S8 and S8+.

One interesting thing the article mentions is rollback (downgrade) protection, which is also present in Wii U and has been verified to be present on Switch. The implementation mentioned here is eFuses, whereas Wii U's implementation used SEEPROM.

eFuses

Oh god damnit, it's gonna be like the 360 all over again. No real way to downgrade.

So if TrustZone is exploited, is it something that can be patched with a software update, or would an entire hardware change be required?
