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

[Deleted User]

its quite surprising how quickly things are moving along with the switch lol

 

[petethepug]

neat.

 

[Beerus]

inb4 a stability update

 

[Dmafra]

You could always do what I did, I bought the Switch in the UK and sent it to my boyfriend in Brazil and had to pay £320 in taxes. I could've cried.

I paid 2450 reais /782 dollar on the release day.
Switch + Zelda Breath of the wild

Lol shutup you clueless mutton

It's useless to end user, don't be a dickhead.

 

[bendevnull]

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

But useful to "them"

 

[Alex658]

WOW. Just, wow.

Do we even have TrustZone on the Vita? I remember reading something about f00d being documented (which in order to document you should have at least a basic understanding of TrustZone)

This is impressive.

ohp

Lmao. A lot of people comparing this to things like FreeShop, when in reality it would allow us to install homebrew to the main menu and many more things. It would more allow things like CFW, which then in turn allow things like FBI/FreeShop. Will he release his work? No. Should we be excited. No.

 

[RustInPeace]

I just had a horrible thought that punishment for pursuing this hacking discovery is (more) deliberately limiting supply for the N64 Classic (it's all but guaranteed to come), something I'm most excited over. That won't happen, but yeah.

yeah they're moving TOO quickly

yeah well that keeps getting said and while it may be true for the time being, theres just going to be another find like this with similar reactions and then eventually this trend will bear fruit and us end users will have the end game in our hands.

when the trend will bear fruit, lets then be fully excited. Right now lets leave it to the hackers. They have trustzone code. But there is still some time till things get done.

My 5 Cents about the Hype:
Many People (me to) bought a Switch Console hoping it will be hacked in the Future - not for Piracy (Stealing Games), but getting a portable Console with Homebrew, Cheating/Save Game Editing, local Storage of Rom Dumps....

I own 5 Games, 2 are on Pre-Order ATM which i had bought even the Console was hacked like the WiiU...

Of Course i am Happy about the Progress made on Hacking the Switch, but: Dumping Kernel and getting the TrustZone code is nothing more than a basic Setup for finding Exploits.
It is good to have some news of the Progress (Twitter, GBAtemp), but i am wondering how many People do think Things like FreeShop will be public in short time

Of course, I just don't want there to be an impression that it is 100% useless

Now this... is the real news. Screw all the other tweets, this is half of the nails in the coffin for Switch hacking. Now the only remaining question is, will they release any of it?

 

[Deleted User]

Wow, the Switch must have some pretty horrendous security.
Is there a console out there that's been hacked open to this extent this fast or faster?

It's derrek. No.

 

[TheCyberQuake]

People need to note this is not a trustzone exploit, just a dump. A big step yes, but not code exec (yet)

 

[smileyhead]

ohp

oh, hey, didn't think someone downloaded it. I thought it was gone!
