Hacking Why you deserve a 5.5 kernel exploit, but also why you can't have one

tl;dr Wii U scene is cancer
Tell me something I don't know

tl;dr Wii U scene is cancer

That'd be kinda difficult, it's pretty easy to predict

Not to mention that the Wii U scene is also a farce ;O;

By the way, is 9.2U really still the firmware to be on, since I have OoTHax now and my BrowserHax still works on my 9.2U 2DS?

It's the right starting point, as it enables you to take a backup of you sysNAND (critical if you don't trust its reliability) and be able to backup.

However, you might also want to read up on more recent developments.
In December 2015 at CCCC in Germany, initial details of bugs in Arm9Loader were disclosed.
See https://gbatemp.net/threads/arm9loader-technical-details-and-discussion.408537/.

If you follow that thread's first post (and its sub-parts), you will discover that these Arm9Loader bugs cascaded into a significant security vulnerability, such that code execution was achieved even before the official 3DS firmware. Moreover, while initially limited to N3DS, it was later applied successfully to O3DS also.

This was a large combination of exploits and previously known vulnerabilities increasing the reliability of exploits. But really, that thread (at least via the first post links) has quite a bit of the information.

TLDR; Multiple CFW of users' choice are now available, which execute even before any official firmware, with 99% of the data on SysNAND, and low likelihood that this can be fixed by any updated later-released firmware.

At this time, the only aspects of 3DS that I believe remain secure relate to BOOTROM-set crypto keys.

Thanks. The first time I booted up the Gateway launcher, I backed up my virgin 9.2U sysnand. Rxmode and emunand won't work for me, the 2DS just hangs. But I can reboot into pasta patch mode and stuff works. Just wish I could cold boot it into that mode.

I think hackers/exploit devs waiting for NX is released.
I remember as Smea announced Ninjhax he has too waited to release it as New 3DS came out.

I think even the PS4 will be hacked before the ISOU exploit gets released

 

[BurningDesire]

Congratulations! You just wrote a useless and pointless wall of text!

Congratulations! You just wrote a useless comment!

Isn't the PS4 kernel exploit released already?

More like 'Leaked'

If only the Kernel Exploit (for 5.5.X) or the IOSU exploit leaked, that would really make my day.

Please god. Normally something good happens when something bad happens to me. Do you think jumping off a cliff will be bad enough for IOSU to leak?

lmao, it'd probably get us an unpatchable IOSU exploit.

(pls no)

At first I wanted the exploit but now that I've thought about it, I think he should release the exploit a year or so from now considering console NX will be coming this year, that way, when he releases it, Nintendo won't patch it because they will be dedicating resources and such to console NX, why would they wanna patch Wii U.

I never really knew Nintendo updated firmware automatically, when the system is shut down, I thought I would be on a good exploitable firmware cause I haven't had mine on for months, oh well, when I realized that, I just deleted my Wifi connection, so that my firmware stays on an exploitable firmware.

i mean it kinda did 2 or so weeks ago but y'all don't really pay attention

And what websites mentioned the leak?

Answer: none

Oh for fuck sakes those salty s.o.b's put everything out late or not at all.

aaaand... would you kindly show us where or how?
