Hacking Finding the 3DS Common Key

[ferret7463]

No the key code is 1...2 ...3...4....5, it the same # the Nintendo President uses for his luggage.

I KNOW!!! It's the pi! Type π in your 3DS and homebrez 4 allzzz

 

[Skelletonike]

Isn't this just like playing the lotto or something? .-."

 

[RichardLaughter]

honestly, i think people are just to lazy to try this. :/ everyones looking for that backdoor way of getting it because no one wants to wait hours, days, weeks, months, or years for a gallon of gas, when they can try to syphone it off with a straw.

Why bruteforce? What we need to do is sweet talk the 3DS. Take it out for dinner first.

like this?

(pores sugar any the 3ds wile talking to it)

I suggested this a long time ago got the same responses. It is not going to brute forced, but with all the stagnation with the scene i feel it might be the only shot we have.

OR... My grand plan.... We send in a guy to get hired at IBM, while at working with IBM get on with Watson the super Computer, Sneak in over night log on to Watson and use the super computer to brute force the key out MUWAHHAHAHAHHA. That or sit back and wait for a team to get it done.

If we build an quantum computer we could find it within a week.

How does one even brute force it, Through a rom and look for what ? or through 2 roms and look for a common key?

 

[Rydian]

Brute forcing isn't looking for something, it's literally generating random inputs to try until one of them works.

Like just trying random phone numbers until you find the right one.

Through a rom ? or through a connected unit or something?

You will get an encrypted file (you can get one from NUS with something like NUSD or even a standard web browser), generate random keys, use each one to attempt to decrypt the file, when one works - bingo. When you try a key that doesn't work, you try another and another etc. (Of course, when I say "you" I really mean a program, a person isn't going to manually do this process). One thing I never completely understood is how the program will identify a correctly decrypted file?

Thanks for helping me understand.

But.. IBM is dead..

It was bought by Lenovo a long time ago.

They are still alive though, its like Marvel was bought by disney, marvel still does its thing.

The 3DS common key is 0x79654B20534433206F646E65746E694E

Actually If I had to guess its 13 42

Actually that is Life, The universe, and everything so it could work!

Only IBM's personal computing business was bought out by Lenovo. IBM servers, chip manufacturing, research and development, and a lot of other areas are very much alive.

One thing I never completely understood is how the program will identify a correctly decrypted file?

This is taken into account when selecting a file, you need to know at least part of the output (say, some specific ASCII string contained in it, or some other hex signature). Yeah there's going to be a few false positives when the process is done (assuming you can't just search for a specific header or magic number), but that narrows it down to just a few keys (those which made files matching what you're looking for).
