Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

[Marionumber1]

Not yet. Eventually it will be possible with the release of the appropriate private keys or a method for obtaining said keys.

Getting private keys for anything is highly unlikely.

Will the Private Keys be needed for anything like hacking/homebrew?

..... my question is about the diagram f0f put out. A-->B then different sections. On side B there was a tiny little box with a question mark. It would be great if somebody knows enough to detail that diagram and define all letters/marks.

You have a link to it?

I saw the diagram, I have no idea what it means... Does anyone know what the days mean?

Marionumber1 and a few others will. I'd like to know everything including the small box with the question mark, lol.

The days are simple; how long it took f0f to get from one point to another.

In the middle of it, it shows a two-way arrow, days are interchangeable?

Those are not private keys, they are normal keys that encrypt things with AES-128-CBC with an IV of all 0's (at least for stuff like Wii U disc dumps). If you have the key you can go both ways. public-private keys work entirely different.

 

[Marionumber1]

A is the Espresso and B is the Starbuck. The white arrow between them represents their IPC, which allows them to communicate. 8 Days is when they dumped the Espresso Boot ROM, which led them to getting the Espresso ancast keys at 11 days. 14 days represents dumping the Wii U boot0, and 30 days is when comex completed the IOSU exploit, giving them full access to the system. The ? is the boot1 key, which they still don't have.

So why do we still not have a hack? This was a while ago wasnt it, also the other team that managed to replicate it what happened to them?

Basically everybody went silent again. We're getting there, it should be sometime soon.

 

[nonameboy]

isn't the boot1 key the most important to hack the wii u?

so you think ;3

Not at all. Once you have an IOSU/kernel exploit you can find a loader exploit and find a way to install content to the system and run it. Of course that's very unlikely but who knows.

Within a few weeks or something?

Guys... wait for the news. This is for the actual hacking discussion and you are just filling the tread with questions before we even have anything to play with... Bit of patience please!
(Also yes I did also participate in the speculative posting and for that I apologise)

Let's let the people with the knowledge do their thing!

 

[Marionumber1]

so you think ;3

It's not unreasonable to expect that Nintendo learns from the failures of others (i.e. Sony). They aren't incompetent, they've just taken a while to figure out this whole "security" thing.

Thanks Mario for explaining the diagram.
