Potential Nintendo Switch Vulnerabilities

[Deleted member 535703]

Nothing confirmed yet, but here are some ideas.

• Plugging in a device with a certain header
• Connecting USB and injecting something/executing something during boot
• Self-added files on microSD
• Network (BIG)**
• Bootup Button Combo***

**Network vulnerabilities are probably more present. I can't really elaborate on this, but it's got the biggest potential
***Common in literally every operating system.

UPDATE:
More points of entry:

• Custom DNS set up to receive a fake update for ACE
• UDPIH but in Switch form*
• Another Custom DNS to replace the items that show in the Nintendo Switch Online app (the one in the bottom of the dock next to News and the Album and the Shop)
• Something involving a set of tweezers (unlikely)

*Considering that the Switch was sort of based on the Wii U, and that UDPIH was just discovered, maybe the same sort of hack would work with the Switch?

has anything come out of this? there really needs to be more people looking into this...
(an idea; smashing the device with a gromit mug while installing overwatch 2 for free, idk)

Are you just the idea guy or actually working on something?
