Hacking Speculations about Switch 2 hacking

[Lucas_Zxc]

Because Horizon OS uses a microkernel design, tiny enough to make it right, exploit-free. The OS has been reimplemented as open source over and over, and no exploits have been found.

So, in theory, is the Switch 2 the first unhackable console in history?

It will depend on NVIDIA and the new Tegra SoC, but so far they have implemented security measures not available on any other gaming console in history, like a Dual Core Lockstep (DCLS) to avoid voltage glitches.

They are now using encrypted RAM, and a quantum-secure signature scheme (XMSS) in early boot chain

Just a question for someone with more knowledge on these things, it seems like those in the know are saying that the Switch 2 is very secure.

With the PS5 scene springing in to life it’s made me wonder why experts such as SciresM and others feel it is so unhackable. Obviously the PS5 has been out nearly 6 years but it has jailbreak capability’s such as hypervisor bypass up until pretty current firmware and userland exploits even on the newest firmware.

Does the software on the Switch2 due to its simplicity and restrictions just contain fewer targets to exploit the console or is there another reason that it seemingly so secure?

I’m not asking to doubt the claims of people who know far more about this than me. More so out of curiosity

That explains it really well, thank you. Basically seems very unlikely we will ever get software hacks, we were so lucky with the Switch 1 after all.

I just hope this isn't the first unhackable console in history, I really want an emulator of it to play the games on my PC
