DNSpresso is a Wii U DNS exploit.

Instructions

  • Place all files required for booting into your homebrew environment on your SD Card (for example from aroma.foryour.cafe).
  • Place a RPX you want to boot on the root of your SD Card and rename it to launch.rpx (for example PayloadFromRPX).
  • On your Wii U head over to System Settings -> Internet -> Connect to the Internet and setup a new connection (Recommended!).
  • Go to (X) Connection List and select your newly created connection.
  • Select Change Settings -> DNS -> Do not auto-obtain.
  • Enter 85.215.57.182 as the Primary DNS and select Confirm.
  • Press (B) Back and select Connection Test.

Your console will now start a connection test which should freeze after a few seconds.After waiting for a few more seconds you should be greeted by the DNSpresso splash screen and your console will boot the launch.rpx.

The name is cool and the technical details are a quite good read. It's a well worked exploit.

Should be in frontpage, imho

Thanx as always for new exploits! How does this compare to Tiramisu? Are there any advantages to this, compared to the internet xploit of Tiramisu? Will the homebrew launcher still lurk behind Mii Maker etc.?

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    apparently stress can cause seizures, my brother had one during a test once
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had one before that, and never had one since
