How will we hack the Switch 2

[PlacekPIe]

I hope there will be actual browser and e-Shop thast isn't just a web page and will have a lot of permissions, causing vulnerability but it'll probably still take a while if it'll even be possible (also I want real browser and better e-Shop in general)

Cubic Ninja 2

That could be a thing if Nintendo didn't sandbox all of the game code from the OS itself.

Is this a real question? Because if so, you can be the first one to try the MicroHax. It worked for a couple of consoles before, you could try and see if it works for the Switch 2 too
How to perform the MicroHax :
Step 1 : Put your console in your microwave
Step 2 : Start your microwave (6 minutes at power 8)
Step 3 : If it did not explode, congratulation. If it exploded, you fool!!!
Step 4 : Enjoy!!!

Step 0 : Delete system32

I mean, his steps, as of right now is as logically sound as everything else in this thread of people who pretty much know nothing of what they are talking about. *this includes me. I am not a hacker, so I do claim that this would be easy or hard*

It is not a matter of how easy or hard it is. Since nobody has a Switch 2 hardware in their hand, it is impossible to answer OP's question. You can't detect an exploit just by looking at a reveal trailer.

Wow, the switch 2 got modded in less than 24 hours of release.

What's your definition of modded? I don't think it matches most people's.

Not really. We only got a small access to userland on the switch 2.

I think I meant to say hacked. Apparently it was announced after launch.

Hacking  Post in thread 'Speculations about Switch 2 hacking'

I dont want to be the first comment after sciresM since I highly respect your work and input.

No Bluesky embedder
But Is this legit and what does this mean?

First userland exploit?

This is a demo of a transferred hax savegame from switch 1 working on switch 2. I helped retr0id with setting this up months ago, and it working was expected.

This means essentially nothing for end users. This gives ROP under a switch 1 game process, which is very heavily sandboxed. You cannot load or run custom code executables or interact with anything the switch 1 game cannot...

Basically not a big deal, I'm not sure if we can call that "a hack" but it's apparently not the "amazing PoC that could lead to cracking games" that lots of people on X like to believe

 

[kijetesantakalu042]

That's not really a hack either. It's just running some code from an official switch 2 game but with ROP that manipulates the order in which functions are ran.

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

huh? I had a 3ds on launch day, and have used every hacking method that I know of, in testing. I hard-modded mine so I could do so without fear of bricking. Corrupt nand? Who cares, I can just re-flash it. I have an NTR card setup. I have cubic ninja. Probably any other obscure thing that was public.

But I don't have a clue what you're talking about here. Nothing is as simple as a malformed filename.

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

I think we can use Tegra for this

We need help from the hacker named 4-chan.

This is not RCM. This is the Switch recovery mode and is software based. RCM is a hardware recovery mode that Nvidia built into the Tegra's boot sequence.

I suspect it's gonna be like the 360, extremely secure kernel but exploit trough RGH

I can already sense executives banging their heads on the walls.

Wait a XXX Leak?
It feels like Nintendo's secrecy is very poor .
