What the heck is cdn?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network

tl;dr: Its a place where Nintendo stores all of the stuff for users to download

and they can ban accounts? or only the console?

Using a CDN downloader bypasses the need for an account (although Nintendo already knows what accounts are associated with which consoles) so at the very least, they have to ban the console. They could ban the account but an account ban is useless on its own and adds insult to injury if layered on top of a console ban.

I heard yesterday that the cdn tool was banned.

I heard yesterday that the cdn tool was banned.

The public console certificate used in that tool was banned from the second server banned consoles primarily use for game and system updates (atum). dauth, on the other hand, is the server you're supposed to use to download eShop content but with a CDN downloader, you can use atum to download eShop content instead, banned or otherwise until this morning. Of course, people can keep supplying banned certificates to use with that tool so long as Nintendo continues banning people.

And where do i get this Certificate?

Not from here as that is considered copyrighted content. But Google is your friend.

Wait a minute...so you CAN used a banned cert with CDNSP?

If the cert is only banned via dauth and not atum, then yes. The way you can tell is either by downloading something from Nintendo's website and selecting Update Download Progress on your Switch or trying to update a game/system online. This is how bans normally work. If the cert is banned from dauth AND atum, then you cannot do anything that connects to Nintendo. This is what is referred to as a "superban". CDNSP works because the CDN can be accessed through atum or dauth (Nintendo's own fault tbh) so their fix was to restrict access to both for rogue certificates.

OP's attachment V1, V2 can install any nsp
but V3 is not
maybe OP does not test when he's attachment version up (V2 -> V3)

Download the All-in-one Package from TomGER and the modified .bin from rajkosto. Open the hekate_ipl.ini from the AIO-Package and add this line like on the pic and save. Push the modified .bin to your switch and choose under ''Launch Firmware'' ''LayeredFS''. Tada. You can install .nsp files.

Thx. And one last question ... is it useful to create a backup of the NAND? I saw it can be created with hekate.

There is a payload called PozzNX that fries parts of your console specific info. If you do not have a NAND backup, the console is dead. So, yes, I would advise to make one.

Yesterday i created a backup. Safe is safe
