Hacking Do you ever think that there is going to be a patched switch exploit on modern firmware.

Winchester xbox 360s can not be hacked either without extensive hardware modifications, i.e reballing the cpu with an older model.

Lol yes but there are 83 million other 360s that can

We never know, I was thinking it was dead for the 3ds, I was in 11.2/3 (I don't remember), everyone was talking about ninjax, the game was overpriced as fuck in ebay and one day I hear "soundhax, every 3ds are now hackable"

but.. in some cases we can't win, I own an unpatched ps3 slim, even here in 2021 I can't hack it.

Well actually, there was a recent vulnerabilty found. However, it will probably not be exploitable so don't get your hopes up, even if it is exploitable, it will be patched by the next update

The same could be said about unpatched Switch consoles. That doesn't mean the new models are going to be hacked.

Whether or not will we see it is not the question; the real question is if it will before or after End of Life and all signs point to after.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

Probably after Nintendo discontinues it

This. I think it's likely there are more exploits, because if history has shown anything, it's that nothing is 100% secure. I would be impressed if Nintendo have finally managed to make 100% secure software. But it could take years before any are found.

 

[xXxSwagnemitexXx]

like everyone else is saying, i think the patched switches will have exploits found, but not for a long time.

Maybe if a company can bypass the cartridge security and make an r4 type device where you can load "backups" off an sd card. Although this probably won't allow for home brew.

Ain't going to work, developers aren't interested in bounty, they like their freedom.

Xecuter likes money even though their dead

The modchip count as hardmod, not softmod.

Yeah, but some developers will be in it for the cash

 

[Deleted User]

I have my honest doubts, most likely some years after EOL.

 

[Zurdonx]

We will probably see some new FW-specific exploits.

...Based on what? Nobody in the scene has even hinted about any new exploits coming soon.

Well, switch brew website lists vulnerabilities on every firmware. Not saying it can cause Cfw but still

 

[The Real Jdbye]

The ones who are in it for the money are people like TX/Gateway, they would not go for a bounty, when they can make even more money by selling access to the exploit per-console like TX does with SX OS.

 

[Spider_Man]

This is a poll, if you don't know what that is why are you here?

its not the firmware that blocks the exploit, its the exploit thats been patched (hardware or dongle).

all you need for further firmware support is the keys dumped and added.

but this question keeps getting asked, as of now there are no other exploits that do not require hardware, no matter how you re word it, your asking the same question - will there be a free exploit on newer systems that do not require mod chip.

More like with modchip. SX OS was based on Atmosphere, so they didn't have any exclusive rights to exploit.

Modchip is a different thing entirely.
I guess it's closest to Gateway since that was a software exploit locked to a DRM "dongle".

Where did Gateway go?
