Hacking Suggestion Warning dont Update to 5.0 if you plan ever to use HB or CFW

Mehhhhhh bad memes for days

Still stands, Team f0f isn't reliable IMO.

They'll release them when they're done

I know I said now, but I don't mean right now
I meant that failoverflow should release their hacks since it's patched

Whenever it's done

Aight, that's fair

You know I'm not one who goes around begging for hax

I'm good with my "online" switch as I buy my games with no problems. It's interesting to see what the future holds

Once hax gets fully released my 3.0.0 switch will be put to work

Wow, Nintendo are upping their game! Just blocked updates.

Hopefully this will speed up 4.X development? My understanding is that TrustZoneHax is working on 4.x, but that it is currently private? Not much point in keeping them private if deja vu is mitigated further?

So, with 5.0.0 out, anyone on 3.0.0 homebrew willing to create a program to circumvent the "update block?"

Okay. I understood what TrustZone, E-fuses, and the other various encryption methods are... but what the hell is KASLR

Every nintendo system has been hacked, I have confidence in people.

Does the Switch have background updating? Mine is at home, not turned on but possibly in sleep mode.

No, you're good

Now the real question is how long till we see the exploit for 4.x.x seeing as the exploit is likely patched. im hoping before summer or maybe for easter would be nice.

 

[Deleted-442439]

Exactly! They already have it working, and since deja vu is changed again there would be no reason to hold back the exploit? (perhaps somone in the scene can bestow their knowledge upon us)

It's not "clean" for the end user yet, as far as I'mm aware. Plus, we don't know that Deja Vu has been totally patched, we just know that the firmware has been hardened against it

 

[sj33]

No, you're good

Thanks, that’s reassuring.

Still not sure if I won’t update - my Switch is my daily driver and I use it for reviews so I can’t stay away from the latest firmware forever, but I’ll stay away as long as we can and hope we get news sooner rather than later.

 

[Fluffball]

That's not all. There's also a reference to a new Switch model that will fix the hardware exploit.

Well that's game over for TeamX,they have gone from potentially making millions to now loosing money in developing whatever they had,i suppose they could still launch it but it's going to have limited appeal when it's now only going to work on the same switches that will also be able to run cfw.

I think this is a first for Nintendo to combat exploits via silicon?

Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization. Basically exactly what it sounds like; the memory sections used by the system kernel are intentionally moved around in a way that is known to the kernel software, but (ideally) unknown to lower-level software, or to an outside attacker. It's designed such that even if an attacker knows about a vulnerability in the kernel, they shouldn't be able to exploit it, because they don't know where the vulnerable spot is anymore.

Didn't they try this with the 3DS? It sounds rather familiar...

Just remember folks, Nintendo may be keeping an eye out for unauthorized software an usage in the near future.

I believe they did, though by the time they did it on the 3DS, they were basically just plugging leaks on a capsizing ship.
