A wad that deletes all your IOSes is not impossible, it's frightening how easy it is.Dan_Aykroyd said:Well most of this ideas are cool but also an overkill! Check for malicious WAD? WTF? They're not like viruses! You should know what you download; at most you'll bannerbrick if you don't have a safety net, but what else would happen? A WAD that deleted all of your IOSes? Maybe deleted all your savegames? Come on... where do you get all that stuff!?forbore said:Maybe the app could check for a MD5 checksum in a text file that way it would know if the WAD was damaged. That would be easy to do...
Editing the AnyTitleDeleter source to delete the IOSes one after another. Compile it, search for a harmless banner like USB Loader or something, put the dol and a few dummy files into a wad and upload it, finished. You can only tell that it's bad after starting the channel.
I don't want to write a virus-howto here, the people who can do it are not so stupid to do it and the kiddies who want to do it won't manage it
That's the sad thing about the Trucha bug, anyone can sign everything.
