So... By now everyone has this Plutoos work in his 34c3 talk https://media.ccc.de/v/34c3-8941-console_security_-_switch/ . It seemed pretty cool work but tbh, I didn't understand a bunch of things.

Anyway. Since I was young I always had interest in the hacking scene. My first experience with hacking and homebrew was using the Twilight Hack back in the Nintendo Wii, and some Ipod Touch 2nd gen jailbreaking. I think that was pretty much what inspired me to become an Electrical (Electronics) Engineer as I'm now. I tried to get inside the 3ds scene during last years, check https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/3Dfrogr (OMG, It's from 2014!) but apart from that never tried something like this. By the time I watched Plutoos work in the 34c3 talk I've had already let go my dream on learning to reverse engineer.

So. here, inspired by that conference I'm trying to search for people just in my condition. That would like to help, learn, and understand the inner workings of this hack and maybe we could become part of the hacking comunity. By now I'm looking for people with the following:
  • Knowledge in C/C++ and scripting languages.
  • A 3.0.0 or lower Nintendo Switch (I got mine on 3.0.0)
  • Understanding on electronics and digital circuits. (for the Key dumping by "Glitching")
  • Lots of patience, since we will be learning... A lot.
  • Basic computer architecture knowledge I guess.. I don't really know ARM assembly but... I've worked with some other architectures.
I think we could take it from that and learn all we have to as a new emerging team. Feel free to PM me, respond to this post... Maybe even add me at Skype: [email protected]

Happy new year to all, And happy hacking :)..

Maybe you can hit me up!
I have way too many damn coding books you guys could use for this!
Just a shitty random idea.

I'm actually interested as well. I'm a recent CS grad and I've always wanted to learn more about reverse engineering.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    bout to buy me some prescription safety glasses
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Got eye insurance? Some do custom laser cutting engraving same day in office
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I do but the optometrist I got my glasses at last year was expensive as fuck even WITH my insurance, so I'm gonna order on Zenni and see if my insurance will reimburse it. And if they won't, then, oh well, still will be cheaper anyway
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    $90 for the safety glasses on Zenni, vs my daily wear glasses were >$200 after insurance
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Haven't been to the eye doc in like 3 years but was pretty surprised they cut the glass in office had the in like an hour ready
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That's pretty sweet, I had to wait like a week or so for mine to be ready
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Lookin at buying another pair of regular glasses too. And maybe prescription sunglasses
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah most just ship off to a lab could always call around to see if new ones have in office glass cutters
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    too much effort + im shy and social anxiety :( lmao
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I just wear them when I drive cause I'd like to actually read signs
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Think they said I'm far sighted or some bs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My eyes aren't that bad, I need mine for driving but ever since I got my latest pair I wear them all the time when I'm home now, I never used to before
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm near sighted though
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I feel like docs just say you're this and that for the insurance claims half the time
    +1
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But even my computer monitors, that are like 3ft away when I'm leaning back in my chair, so much easier to see now with my glasses than without
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Doc was cool though, he measured my old glasses and I wanted to try different contacts than I had had previously and he's like "hmmm I bet you're this strength and that strength" and damn dude was dead on the money
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    lmao that clip
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Know a guy who did laser surgery for like 2g but argued you'd never need glasses again
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    laser eye surgery scares me
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    The thought of any kind of surgery shit being done on my eyes gives me unbelievable amounts of dread and anxiety, and with the potential risks or side effects that laser eye surgery has, I don't think my eyes are bad enough to warrant it. I can see without my glasses - not great, but not bad either.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah I feel that if it gets to the point where all I see is blurry then I might consider if
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Just do it like in Minority Report. Won't feel a thing.
