Hacking Should The Henkaku Source Code be released ?

I was joking and making fun of how pointless and cluttered threads like this one make this place.

I don't disagree with this approach. It can get people motivated to learn something, so I guess I am all for it.

It has the side effect of everyone bothering everyone else for their knowledge, but you have to break some eggs, right?

I'm pretty sure they said they're going to release the source in a year anyway.

I'm generally very strongly pro-FOSS, but I think molecule want to have some fun watching people reverse engineeer this first.

HENkaku is already being reverse engineered.
The entire point of the KOTH challange is to attract more developers and make the Vita like the PSP was.

Just releasing the source would end up with a backuploader and very little to 0 homebrew interest.
Besides, it's not like the Vita has much games anyway.

I say no.
I'd really like to see how long it takes for others to completely reverse engineer the exploit.
A lot can be learned from it.

That's wasted time and it will be a long time for a dead system.

If the Chinese or Japanese person who released the xandu game is to be believed he said he might release the tool that decrypts eboot's for vita games.

Not if he's like yifan_lu

yifanlu DID release HENkaku, though.

@Topic:
It's up to yifanlu; one does whatever he wants with his code as long as it doesn't harm other parties.

"yifanlu DID release HENkaku, though" Were talking about the SOURCE CODE for Henkaku

Yiffypoo is never going to release the source code. Just deal with it tbh.
I'm theorizing that this whole Henkaku thing was just a stunt to land a job at a cryptotech company. Kinda like how Smea landed an internship at Microsoft for his work on the 3DS scene. What a cuck.

If Smea went public we could have way more 11.0 homebrew

Completely off topic

 

[Bubsy Bobcat]

I'd say yes, but then again "open source is worse than rape" or whatever the joke was again.

i think the KOTH challenge is good because its going to get other Devs out there really thinking about RE Henkaku, thus they will get a deeper understanding as to what they can achieve with it.

So many people want things handed to them on a plate...i cant quite grasp that concept? to really appreciate things in life you need to work for them and earn it!

i have no hope of ever learning anything to do with henkaku or creating hombrews, my hat goes off to anyone with the talent to do those things.

Yes because wanting a source code is not appreciate

 

[yifan_lu]

But if I release the source, how can I properly cuck the scene?

I don't see jimmyleen ever mentioning the source code for the tool that decrypts eboots. The Chinese guy mentioned he would release the tool, exactly like yifanlu did.

Anyway, enough derailing for this thread. We've seen worse happen in that other thread, right? Just try to at least read what other people say before trying to come up with a "clever" answer to try to flame someone.

Besides, the people who are complaining about HENkaku's closed source are the people would be unable to do anything with it. Why bother?

 

[demounit]

the shit posting is strong in this thread.

 

[Rizzorules]

He said that if nobody reverses henkaku in a period of time he will reevaluate the options, dont fight with him, sadly he is the creator and he has the advantage

"reevaluate the options" that can mean anything

 

[Rizzorules]

"reevaluate the options" that can mean anything

That means he could probably release the source
