ROM Hack Trouble running custom .code

[DatHax0r]

The eShop communication is no doubt SSL encrypted, but if we can patch the eShop to work over regular HTTP or make it accept any SSL certificate then it should be possible. We would basically need an eShop server emulator made with PHP or something though, that acts exactly like the real eShop. I doubt it is as simple as putting CIA files on a webserver.

They will most likely be compressed, and when the 3ds downloads them it decompresses at the end to install the cia

Yeah, I didn't think it would be possible or easy, I just wanted to see if anyone else did and knew how to.

Or you just patch the eShop to install CIAs that are on the SD card and you save all of that hassle.

Yes.

Do you have a patch like that?

Would it be possible to patch the eshop exefs to get full kernel access?

I ask this because I honestly don't know and I hope someone else does.

Read the thread for clues and bits of info that show they're trying that...

@DatHax0r Sorry, I kind of just went to the end

Thanks for the quick reply though!

They're trying to trick eShop into installing CIAs.

@SomeGamer I know that, I was just wondering if we could get full kernel access from that and not have it limited to CIA installation

Hopefully, one step at a time!!

So if this works, will it only work with legit cias or any cia?
Don't you need full kernel access to run unsigned cias? (unless I'm not reading this thread right and that's what you guys are going for)

I'm here if you need help. I don't know C/C++ (yet. Gonna start learning it soon), but really want to help out as much as I can on this project.

 

[Gonchan]

We can. That's what I'm trying to do. But we can even do better.

nothing would make me happier, good luck and I hope you succeed with that

I spent 3 hours using nmap and etherape while watching demos in the eshop to try and work on my dns approach even though it probably won't work, and here is what I got out of it: I am stupid. I ended finding out the apparently my 3ds spoofs it's ip on my local network for some reason, goes to my router using the spoofed ip, hits my ISP, then bounces off some server the nmap never finishes scanning, no matter how long I wait, and finally goes to this IP: 224.0.144.1. nmap finishes port scanning it in less than a second, and at one point I timed it just right and was able to see the amazonwas server it ended up at. Here is the reason I'm stupid though: I didn't write down the server! And now no matter what I try, I can't get the timing right to watch a demo and start trying to connect to it on my laptop, so.... yeah. Anyway, could anybody with a linux box try to use that ip and etherape with eshop launched using HANS to try to get the amazonaws address? I will try myself tomorrow, but I probably wont get any results.

Kernel access: pretty much, you'll see.

DNS spoof: it won't work because SSL.

WHAT

 

[naivegirl2411]

Kernel access? Did you successfully manage to patch the eShop to install CIAs?

 

[SomeGamer]

you'll see.

When?

Kernel access

This got me so excited!

Installing CIAs is not enough to have the piracy you all want. However there are some tricks that are possible when we have CIA installation.
We do not have it yet, but it is possible.
