Hacking RELEASE HACDN v3 - Safely download your Switch eShop purchases on your PC

[SimonMKWii]

Moderator note: Potential risk to get your Switch banned if detected

I have removed the download, as the function of the program may violate Nintendo's terms of use, and you could be blocked from online access.

This one's been a long time coming...

Features:

• Download your eShop purchases directly on your PC
• Ugly user interface
• Guaranteed at least 50% more safe than HACDN v2, but still, use at your own risk, I can't guarantee 100% safety.

Usage:

• Put in the title id of a Switch game you purchased on the eShop, put in your device id and then click download.

The title ID is the identifier of a game, you can see a reasonably up-to-date listing on SwitchBrew.
The device ID is extractable from your PRODINFO partition.

Dependencies:

• Requires your cert, hactool and a filled keys.txt file.

You can extract your cert from a NAND dump using my toolkit.
Get the latest build of hactool here.

Uploading the source soon, just gotta clean up the code a little bit first.

Yeah, you're right actually.
I guarantee it's 100% clean, must be a false alarm.
Source now coming even sooner.

...and Avast won't even let it run.
You might want to look into this.

In that case, maybe stop using hactool as well...

I'm not trying to be an a$$, but someone who has never used your previous versions, will never know how to use this. There is literally no directions, help, or template files.
If you want to avoid a sh*t-ton of questions, you may want to be a lot more descriptive in your OP.

Need a more specific description on how to get it running and the virus warning should be dealt with

Yeah, it's a false alarm, I may have tripped it due to the internal name of one of the functions.

This has been pointed out to @SciresM in the past.
Some have proven it is a false-positive, while others I've spoken with have stopped using hactool.

Thats exactly what I was just typing down

Nintendos last resort :

You should just stop and try to learn a little bit more .NET or C/C++.
A tool coded in C# doesn't need anything else then keys and a decrypted PRODINFO.
Your tool should get the needed data from that and not make your users follow multiple tutorials to make it working.

Also there should be a big red Warning on the top, that says "If you use this, your Console may get banned!". No matter how safe you make it, it will never be 100%.

I'm not falling for this bait again...

Not be to that guy, but atleast write "use at your own risk" or something?
It's for your own sake
Otherwise good work Simon!!

Personally, I think the instructions are best left as they are. Anyone who wants to use it will figure it out and along the way realise what it actually does and the associated risks.

Edit: You gotta stop with the 50% stuff though mate, it's nonsense and impossible to know. Just leave it as using this app carries an as yet unknown risk.

What bait ?
tbh he says the truth
I mean did you look into your Thread that you linked above ?
the source code has 2 undefined variables and is an unfinished mess, I mean 3 FILES !!!
there is no structure in the source code at least in the python3 code (I am not even looking in the C# Code)
and tool above crashed after several seconds and it uses 15% of my CPU for a download ? WHY ???
