Underground piracy scene release group known as BigBlueBox (BBB) have just released a master key for the Nintendo Switch.

In their 60th Nintendo game cartridge dump - a process where the group rips all of the data from a retail Nintendo Switch cartridge and then uploads it to the internet, is an .nfo file, an information requirement when packaging illegal warez. It is in this file that BBB have revealed the first of 32 Nintendo Switch Master Keys, used for firmwares 1.0.0-2.3.0:

Having the key is highly illegal so it has been removed from the above info.

It is currently impossible to play any cartridge dumps on Nintendo Switch hardware.

Glad I have both systems, always stay on the lowest firmware you can regardless of a higher version being "safe".

In the interest of misinformation not spreading everywhere:

There are three keys of interest, for a given firmware. The Master Key, the Device Key (console unique), and the Package1 Key.

The Package1 Key is used to decrypt TrustZone.

All console unique keydata is derived from the Device Key.

All non-console unique keydata is derived from the Master Key (and constants in TrustZone/sysmodules/NAND).

The "Stage 2 bootloader" key that leaked a while ago was the 1.0-2.3 Package1 key.

Knowledge of a master key doesn't allow you to do anything more in terms of gaining privilege on hardware, but it does allow you to derive all non-console unique keydata that the Switch can derive for that firmware.

In more basic terms: having a master key for a firmware lets you decrypt anything a switch on that firmware could decrypt, on your PC.
