Switch TrustZoneHax on 4.x

​
The ReSwitched Hacking Team have done it again. motezazer, ktemkin and SciresM have achieved code execution on 4.1.0, the latest version at the time of writing this, via deja vu at TrustZone level. This means devices on 4.1.0 and below will be able to gain access to the whole system. SciresM strongly advises to not update in the future.

After less than a year, the Switch hacking team has moved extremely fast and now have got full access on the latest version. The progress being made is incredible, and in comparison, the 3DS took around 2 years to get ARM9 access. The scene is looking very promising so far and we are very lucky to have such talented people working on the Switch.

I've been downloading as many games as I can and have blocked updates in preparation for news like this. @SciresM is legit a hacking wizard. Just a bit ago we knew Deja vu existed on 4.x but required new privilege escalation due to older exploits being patched, but man he and the others got that escalation fast. Good job to everyone involved, and I can wait to see an eventual release (even if it takes a while)
I previously updated past 3.0.0 because my game library simply wasn't large enough to be worth staying. But now that I have plenty of games and still have access to them until an update comes out, I should be set abs ready to stay where I am until we see something come from this.

I'm considering doing that myself. I'm doing basically nothing with my 2.2.0 Switch right now.
Maybe that "really really long" wait ends up being the time necessary for the homebrew scene to develop all the cool and useful stuff for end users. Maybe day-1 homebrew won't be of much use for end users like us.

Also, the Switch scene is moving incredible fast. It's kinda amazing what this guy Scires is doing.
 
First of all, thx to all devs for their works. And I want ask, can we trust @SciresM ? I mean we are updating latest firmware for hacking :rofl2:, in the near future it can be a problem? Maybe 4.0.1/4.0.0 better than 4.1.0???

Again, thx and good work!:)

Thx for reply, I am on 4.0.1 or 4.0.0 (I dont remember now). Updating to 4.1.0 (via internet because latest update still 4.1.0) is safe?

Yes, but it's the cut off. Do not go past 4.1.0, there's no guarantee for future firmware.

that's just a default dns, you should probably set it to the one provided.

No, you misunderstand. The first DNS is set to the one on the blog, but the second one was all 000.000.000.000. I didn't change it, when I went from Auto to Manual, it made
both all zeroes. What do we change the second DNS to?


Edit: Same as first

:D They said 3.0.0 will be latest lol
Click to expand...
3.0.0 was latest until they got it to work on 3.0.1 and 3.0.2
Now they got it to work up to 4.1.0 which doesn't mean it will work on a newer firmware.

Maybe it is so major that nintendo will never be able to patch it... only the entry points
