Homebrew Is tubehax finally patched away?

[WeedZ]

Looks like Nintendo is going to patch all possible entrypoints in the next days...So glad i bought Cubic Ninja for 3.98€ at Gamestop

cubic ninja is one of those possible entrey points. *MindFreak O.o

I did try clicking the slider but the browser crashed, will try again deleting the cookies and browsing data

Zoom in and click as far as possible on the right of the slider

pretty sure I already said that back on page 1 lol

Does anyone know how exactly they're "forcing" the update? Surely spoofing (or blocking, even) whatever server is enforcing an update should work, no?

I'm not at home to check this out, but I definitely will look into this when I have the time.

The 3ds Friend Service makes the version checks for the YT app before it makes any http requests itself.
here let yellows fill you in:

Updates for this application are forced, since the app itself checks for a newer version of the title(this is done before any actual HTTP requests by the actual application are done). This is done with Friend_Services: the application tries to authenticate itself with FRDU. When the installed version is outdated, it gets an error-code in the output buffer for FRDU:GetGameAuthenticationData(this error-code then gets passed to the error-display applet).

The friend HTTP requests which are involved with the above use HTTPS, so blocking it (probably) isn't an option(the usual POST request(s) to https://nasc.nintendowifi.net/ac).

I'm just hoping they can't do the same for the browser.

Try zooming all the way in too and click the edge of the slider.

Finally worked

The only way i got it to work was to delete cookies and history data then use the home button to get out of the browser and access the browserhax page through the QR code

Thanks, guys.

I am not really an expert, but I thought a lot of times why Nintendo didn't patch Cubic Ninja in any way. Sure, with a physical cartridge you need to find a workaround, but is surely possible (Even for noob nintendo security team )

pretty sure I already said that back on page 1 lol

Yeah, i saw that message, just saying i am the same opinion i find strange that Nintendo left all these holes opened for a long time and then we have 2 fixes in a few days...i bet on a 10.2 update coming very soon

i bet on a 10.2 update coming very soon

which fixes gspwn.

it was patched for a long while after 9.2 until smea found a way to reuse the method on 9.9+

Lol, if gspwn ever gets fixed then we are sooooo screwed.

Sure you are right, but i was thinking about patching the game itself (maybe in a way that stop you from starting the application at all until you download an update for the game). Honestly, i expected something like this happening a long ago, since that game looks like the most solid exploit method maybe their problem is that an update should come from the company that made the game (and probably doesn't give a f--k about the exploitable bug) and nintendo can't really block a game cartridge for a reason like this (for legal problems i think)

wait if tubehax got patched that means my themes will dissapear? -_- i just want my custom themes to stay lmao

Custom themes still work. As do other exploits.

gspwn likely won't be blocked, but themehax can easily blocked.

Smea's put up the source for tubehax:

This doesn't bode well for potential repair. Either that or he's calling up all the homebrewers to find the solution.

thanks thats enough for me...lol

RIP in peace free homebrew, it was nice while it lasted. Just snagged a copy of cubic ninja for $35 on ebay, I have a feeling prices are gonna go up.

We still have browserhax and themehax.

Yeah I panicked there for a second because I didn't have themehax installed. I was just able to get in through browserhax though so I should be fine for now.

Well if the YouTube app auto checks for updates and updates on its own every time it runs and there's nothing you can do about it...

 

[Pandaxclone2]

The youtube app supposedly doesn't though. It's the friend services that do that according to yellows8. It will check through that first before youtube if it's not up to date, by which point if it is then youtube won't run. That's how they got the update prompt to work even on older firmware.

Smea himself says if you could somehow block the check through DNS (Or even just spoof it/use an installer to make Youtube "look" up to date) then maybe we could get this exploit back.
