Hello. I need to get access to my switch's pfx certificate file and I don't really know what to do. I've seen threads that have tools that utilize python, but I didn't understand what I had to do. My switch is on firmware 9.2.0 and atmosphere 0.10.5 if that helps.
Thanks!
 
You can extract it somehow from your nand backup iirc. But don't ask me how. Which tools do you mean?
I was mostly confused by CertNXtractionPack from about two years ago. I had multiple complex steps that I didn't understand. Here's the thread: bit.ly\34nZRxk
 
Yes. Nintendo updated the security on their servers. You can't use tools like freeshop anymore

Read this. And the same authentication stuff applies to the switch

Will that stop me from dumping my cert?
 
No. But it makes no sense to do that. You can't use it nowhere or for something specific. All useful tools for the switch (which are used on a windows pc) usually only need a keyset file (like 4nxci, or tools like this) which can easily be dumped from the console itself. My opinion...don't judge me ;)
