I dunno, it's kinda suspicious how he(?) just showed up out of nowhere coming up with functional implementations of the IOSU exploits so quickly.

(I'm not complaining, of course.)

People use alternate accounts. It did happen quickly, I'll admit that. But nah, I can guarantee that this has nothing to do with SALT (unless you count the wiiubrew page). Wulfy's reaction pretty much confirms that. On top of that, you'd think a leaker would leak a little more than just this.

I think it could be just a minor, calculated leak to boost the scene a bit. A major leak would just make Team SALT stop their efforts and most likely never release anything.

Trust me, it's not a leak. The person behind this account made this from scratch; and at least the kernel portion of it was made in front of homebrew developers with no known affiliation to SALT.

congrats on pwning IOSU kernel, can also back up that it's not from SALT, I'll get you nerds kinda started in the right direction
  • I posted the NUS title key for a Wii VC title on my tweeter, it has a bunch of goodies in /code
  • You can also decrypt OSv1 that boots it with the Starbuck Ancast key that's been out for a while, same as IOSU/fw.img
  • Since you have IOSU code execution with kernel permissions, you can do anything if you're clever enough, like mounting an SD card and reading a custom firmware from it for redNAND
  • I wouldn't recommend going too far cause SALT seems to have a bunch of stuff already in the works for it, the fun part was the actual exploit, still not involved with their affairs tho
  • Don't randomly make syscalls to stuff like IOS-CRYPTO like comex did cause bad stuff will happen
  • Have fun bbys try not to bricc
Still looking forward to booting into something like Nintendont from emuNAND or straight into the game, should be fun

yeah adding new features to Loadiine should be a better option right now.

frisbiiU.rpx :huh:
Is that Nintendo's code for throwing a bone to Wii U owners?

it's a small step in the right direction for a fully hacked Wii U, maybe the dev of this can collaborate with the guys from SALT to get the IOSU done
