Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

I think your COM port is not on the correct baud rate. Please verify that you're not at VAGCOM because based on your previous post, you seem to be stuck there. Have a nice day!

Sounds like a PEBCAK error.
It's pretty funny to see the mod keep this post.

Kelton, take the hint. If your contributions aren't wanted then keep them to yourself. We're getting tired of cleaning up these messes.

ENOUGH. This has been going on for 4+ pages now. Enough with the bashing each other, if you're gonna do that you may as well not even do it in this section because you all won't get along enough to make a scene for homebrew in the first place!
1) If you're going to talk about blocking updates with routers or anything else not progress related, do it here. That's why I made the thread.
2) The only stuff that should be in this thread (at the moment, anyways) is progress based updates, as deemed necessary. If you're just saying you found a crash, great! Figure out if it's exploitable and if it is THEN post in this thread. I'll do my best to keep everyone updated on the kernel exploit (which MN1 summed up quite nicely a bit ago, we're basically working on timing issues right now). If you found out that you can backup NANDs and flash it back, great! Post it! Made a tool to modify game files? Awesome! Post it here. Otherwise, keep it out of this thread.

Everyone who attacks Kelton, stop it. He is very enthusiastic, and only wants to help. If some people think he isn't doing anything useful, what if he actually discovers something that works ? The same people who talk hate will be eating crow and licking boots later.

I wonder what all the haters and trolls will be thinking if my bug turns out to be exploitable...

Which bug?

 

[FPSRussi4]

OI. Careful. Just PM Kelton if you want to call him out on his bugs and whatnot.

ANYWHOO, How's error-checking going with the exploit?

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

Then you can expect apologies if-and-when. For now, I'm asking you to leave it alone in the name of peace.

 

[endoverend]

The beforeload one (not going to say the whole name).
And before you say "I contacted mn1 about that one and he said it's not exploitable", they're already talking about the 5.3.2 ROP chain. It's looking up.

I'd prefer if you wouldn't refer to it as "my bug" from now on, thanks.

Stop it. All of you. This is beginning to get stupid. Respect each other, keep the thread on topic, and have some general human decency. Kelton, I know youre young, but there's a saying that goes "think it through before you do". The rest of you have absolutely no excuse for acting as utterly immature as you are.

What exactly is the topic of this thread? Because I swear by looking at it, it's about the thread on topic.

That's because you missed the shit-storm of a drama that this thread was before the mods removed the offending posts

I took a pretty big part in it until I was told to 'please' stop so I felt bad and stopped. Now everyone is hassling the people I were hassling.

DUDE! I don't know about any of you guys, but I'd like to see the webkit working on a more recent firmware version. Kelton2 has been spending time using the restricted webkit bug finder and going through all of them to see which ones crash on 5.3.2. If you don't know, this is the correct way outlined in Fail0verflow's presentation to identify potential exploits. This is the same way the original webkit exploit you people are using right now was found. Ketlon2 is the ONLY person doing this and he is and he is reporting which one's MarioNumber1 and NWPlayer123 should look into further. So, if anyone cares about the webkit exploit working on a more recent version that 5.1.0, DO NOT discourage Kelton2!

You and the_randomizer seem to be the only sane people here other than me

I'm on your side as well, but we need to make sure that this thread doesn't go under again. Keep doing what you're doing, but make sure that before you announce any of your findings, you 1) have first passed it off via PM to MN1 and NWP123, 2) know that it follows the guidelines of an exploitable crash, 3) know that you can announce your findings in a way that is short, concise, and most importantly, vague, and 4) have thought it over for a solid five minutes and thought about exactly what said post will contain

I am behind you 100%, and think that the enthusiasm that you show is wonderful. I'm sorry to say that many other people on this forum are not, and I only give the advice I do in the interest of keeping the overall peace, and making sure an exploitable bug doesn't get patched before it can be put to use

Edit: as crwys said, this is already derailing again, and we don't need to have the mods called in for a third time today. Take that into consideration,
As you were, gents

 

[TheZander]

hey guys lets just stop going off topic and stay on topic. enough derailing, lets stay on topic.

ROP is code execution, but a lesser form of it. It's basically taking Nintendo's code and rearranging it to do what you want. In a Wii U browser exploit, you need some initial ROP to copy your code to the Javascript JIT area and run it.

Also, in regards to version spread of the exploit, have you confirmed that your kernel exploit works on everything <=5.3.2, or is that just in theory?

Edit: or have I completely and utterly misinterpreted information as it wizzed by me?

No need to sniff anything, just check an update digest and grab files over http. That or build the modified NUS Downloader that someone tweaked for Wii U.

What is an update digest? I hope this is okay to ask here.

http://yls8.mtheall.com/ninupdates/reports.php err whoops, thought I was in the 3DS forum but I guess this works okay. I'll edit when I've found the one I actually meant to link.

actually nah, that's another good source.

 

[WulfyStylez]

It apparently isn't patched on 5.3.0, but 5.3.2 is unknown.

I looked at 5.3.0 versus 5.3.2 recently and they didn't fix it then either.
