    You can't. Only people who have legitimate reverse engineering skills know how to do this, not middle schoolers.

    First you might want to master the English language before you start finding flaws in other ones. ;p

    Learn Assembly and C. Learn about data structures and algorithms. Learn about reverse engineering and exploit development. Study past exploits.

    When I first starting working with @Marionumber1 he was in middle school. Don't discredit people based on their age.

    on the 3ds scene, we are pretty much alright, we dont really need to find any more exploit i think.
    On the other hand, the wii u scene is still young. You might have more chance on finding usefull exploit on wii u

    There are reverse engineering courses out there. It's not an easy field of work because it's pretty much based on chance and knowing what your doing.

    Read up on ARM, read up on the 3DS system itself, learn what ROP is, learn how to use ROP, look at other examples of exploits, learn how to use IDA to reverse engineer programs, and most importantly of all, find yourself a good debugger.

    You do know that IDA is a debugger, right? Also, I love how some in this thread are like "LOL U CANT U NOOB". Projecting our own inability to RE are we?

    I was reversing Adobe products and Windows malware in middle school. I fail to see how that's relevant.

    Instead of flaming the person of "You should know this and that".

    OP what stuff do you know when it comes to coding?

    ...no, no I didn't, actually. ;-;
    Talk about feeling stupid! All of this time, and I overlooked something like that.
    Oh well, that will certainly be useful for the future I guess.

    IDA is typically "the" debugger when it comes to ARM disassembly and debugging. There's quite a few more out there, but IDA makes life easier.
