How will we hack the Switch 2

[Larsenv]

Will we use a paperclip? Will we use a soldering iron? Or will we use the power of the chaos emerald to mod it

No one can possibly know at this point. Probably gonna be some twiizers.

Modchip.
Nintendo were probably so happy about hiding the D0 point on the OLED Switch so that modchips wouldn't work, until people started melting off the EMMC chips and drilling holes in the fucking motherboard. Wonder what other protection ideas N have come up with for Switch 2.

Modchip, hopefully. Not a fan of keeping anything powered on indefinitely.

You need the Hair of a Unicorn.
Combine the Hair with a Paperclip on a Minecraft Crafting Table to get a Legendary Rainbowclip.

Insert the Clip in your Brain to get Full Knowledge about the Universe.
Wait for the Switch 3 Release that is hackable again with a simple Paperclip

IF we get lucky and somehow find a way, it’s going to be a modchip.

But I doubt that we are going to see that for a couple of years.

You can bet that nintendo has studied mod chips very hard this time to take actions to prevent it.

If you look how secure the switch is against softmods, you can bet that the S2 is going to be even more secure.

Then on the other hand, everything is not public.
The devs/hackers have for sure saved some exploits to try on the S2.

I hope for a random ass vulnerability they didn't check for somehow, somewhere

I'm gonna keep my day 1 switch2 OFF the internet as soon as I get it

There is a non-zero chance that we already have something that allows to break S2. With the backwards compatibility, it's likely that there is a ton of similarities with the original Switch, and I wouldn't be surprised if the switch scene has been sitting on a new way to hack the original one but kept silent in hopes that the method is not patched on S2.

Very peculiar that you'd rather use a modchip than a softmod to hack the Switch 2. A softmod is much safer, and is readily accessible to everyone once it's discovered. I have an unpatched v1 Switch and always turn it off when I don't plan to use it for a few days in a row. It just takes a few seconds to re-inject a payload when I turn it on again. It was your choice in the end to keep yours always powered on.

Imagine if it was something dumb like a malformed filename that allowed homebrew access - after all, that happened on the 3DS.

That is exactly the type of stuff I don't want to deal with when I'm just trying to play a game, lol. Keeping it turned on is the only way to keep the experience seamless. Well that, or a modchip.

 

[MasterJ360]

Hopefully by softmod or low firmware exploit if anything. As I don't have skills to solder things I rather hope its not a modchip as the only option.

Keep in mind that the current Switch has no softmod. The Switch microkernel has been reimplemented in Atmosphère and it is believed to have no vulnerabilities.

It does? Sure, Caffeine only works on low FWs but it exists. Unless you're referring to V2 by "current".

I mean I guess? But as far as I know it requires *really* low firmwares, 4.1.0 is from December 2017. So this would still basically only be early units that also have the RCM exploit. (As far as I know, please correct this is if it is wrong.) Anything newer, including Lite and OLED models, have nothing.

 

[GengarsGhostlyGiggles]

probably a raspberri pi zero and some paperclips

Imagine Nintendo putting into NS2 a browser with a kernel-level-vulnerabilty in lauch day? It would be funny, after a entire generation of super secure predecesor

I've never once heard anyone else complain about that. Mine stays in sleep mode and it wakes to emuMMC. Can boot to sysMMC from there easily using reboot to payload and then booting sysMMC. Also have AutoRCM enabled. The only time I ever need to plug my phone into my Switch (which then automatically launches Hekate with no input even needed from me) is after it's been completely powered down. Why not simply keep your Switch in sleep mode in the dock? How many times per day do you need to switch between emuMMC and sysMMC? 100 times a day? lol

The microkernel of the Switch has no vulnerabilities. If there is an exploit in the browser, its capabilities will be extremely limited.

Whatever, If in the console there's a easy way to get full root access in launch day, it will be funny
