Hacking Speculations about Switch 2 hacking

[gameboy64]

At this point I am afraid to put some TEMU sticker on my switch dock because of Nintendo ninjas and their policies...

Feel free to put a cube ninja sticker on it lmao.

the xploit well be from nintendo switch 2 dn,,s web. and cam%e*ra.

This was found on a lower firmware but has not been tested on switch 2

This is the best we got so far https://reversing.live/sslbypass.html

Summary​

To summarize briefly, all applications that use the nn::ssl::Context::ImportServerPki function were vulnerable, because an attacker could make the client accept a self-signed certificate. The certificate merely needs to have a subject key identifier that matches the subject key identifier of an imported certificate. The vulnerability was reported on HackerOne, and is fixed in system version 20.2.0.

There is another sentence saying that this was not tried on switch 2 and will likely also work on there provided you have one that’s not updated

 

[Newhouse-Estates]

Yeah, he wasn't able to do it from the lack of Switch 2 debugging capabilities, and encourages others to try some way.
"However, the fact that Nintendo changed the scope of the HackerOne report to Nintendo Switch 2 System Processes strongly suggests that the vulnerability was present on the Switch 2 as well. If you are able to capture any Switch 2 requests with this vulnerability, I would love to hear."

You have no chance of ever seeing the Switch 2 finding a vulnerable exploit if it couldn’t be found on the Switch 1 revision 2s didly squat chances forget about it and move on

That's simply not true. Look at the Xbox 360, a softmod was recently discovered for it after so many years. You can bet the same will happen for v2 + oled revisions of Switch 1 and Switch 2, even if it takes some time, as long as there are people looking into it.

Exactly what I was gonna say.

And also someone could have found a switch oled softmod and kept it secret so nintendo didn't patch it on the switch 2.

You just don’t know do you about anything regarding in hacking. I suppose you’ve answered a few easy hacking questions and you think you know it all, the Switch 2 will not be hacked ever..period! For a start the security on these new systems are tight very tight there are no loop holes, nothing to exploit do you get it! Michael “I don’t mean to bring Michaels name into this but I’m sure he already knows himself the inevitable regarding the Switch 2 ever being exploited” he has already confirmed they will not be hacked the Switch 1 versions 2’s couldn’t be hacked without a modchip install and that’s not possible now with the Switch 2 and you’re talking about the xbox360 that was released back in 2005 that was 20 years ago the security measures would be way outdated

Won't security measures from today be outdated in 2035?

you say the switch 2 will never be hacked as if you have seen the Future! I say nothing is impossible Believe it! where there's a will there's a way!

The truth is I don't know why I'm so discouraged about this Switch 2. I understand it's new hardware and there won't be a CFW overnight, but just seeing comments like "never," "impossible," "never," etc. makes me wonder if it's due to a lack of desire on the part of the big devs in the scene or if they've all sold out and the scene in general has died. P.S. It's fun to play around with the scene, which is why I buy consoles, but this Switch 2 is currently stored in the closet. Lacking power, my Switch 1 is more fun.

1. We say those to discourage people from having high hopes in modding the switch. Just like you, people who are expecting the switch 2 to be hacked early will buy a system and then not use it, because they think they may need to be on low firmware. But then they come to forums everyday asking if there's a hack or something. You bought a $500+(with tax) device. If you aint using it, why did you buy it.
2. Most people well known in the switch homebrew/cfw scene have tried their damnest these past few years breaking into the original switch 1 firmware, and they've had little luck. That even with fuse gelee giving them full control over the hardware. All known entry points are either through fuse gelee, which only affects launch switches, or a hard mod to patch out the fix nvidia and nintendo did for fuse gelee. With the switch 2, they added a ton more security to the hardware, with a completely new bootstrap process that you can't mimic what we had for the switch 1. Not to mention the kernel is most likely the same as the switch 1, which means its got all the fixes the switch 1 got in the kernel. Yeah, "never" and "impossible" may be strong words, but I'm more likely to believe we won't get any thing soon than hope.

every tech has an exploit whether its hardware or software. the only factors that matters here are time , will and actual trial and error. YES its damn near impossible now to have a working exploit for the fact that the hardware is new and the software is air tight. it just needs time if we're being hopeful ? 1-2 years , if we're being realistic maybe a decade or so.

It'll probably hacked via custom DNS payload in eshop or some other app or game.

Why did I buy the Nintendo Switch 2 to save it? Well, because I'm 41 years old and my hobby is the scene and if I want to save it, well... I have the others for a reason... (in fact, I helped with rxtool and other projects for different consoles...) That doesn't mean I force the devs to work or anything like that, it's simply my point of view of how negative the scene is with the Switch 2.

No
Games are sandboxed from the actual switch os
