Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

What happened?

I'm on 5.0.0 so I can't do anything very practical right now.

Same here, also on 5.0.0

I mean, it's interesting. f0f got usable results from exploiting the browser without any binaries to find ROP gadgets from. I imagine that's a lot of testing and crashing. That or they're just really good with figuring out such things, probably both.

comex's exploit gave him full access to all the memory, which allowed him to find ROP gadgets. Ours sadly didn't give us that ability, so we needed the binaries.

Funny fact: Loading exploit website on my samsung galaxy crashes almost every apps in memory
Conclusion: Use only on a WiiU, nothing else

Woah, I don't follow the modding scene very often. Is there actually a good chance at homebrew soon or something? What version should I keep my WiiU at?

Sounds like whatever browser you're using isn't very secure.

It is not Chrome in counterpart just shows a rectangle, nothing else

Alright, so if we are going to try to get something to happen blindly I suppose we just type in random numbers and hope that something funny happen.
Or do you have a better suggestion

Considering none of this would be flashing the nand in anyway shape or form, why not!? lol, anything that goes wrong "should" only be temporary. Just turn the console off and on again and everything should be hunky dorey

Ya this is essentially a "virus," most decent browsers will block it by default. Even though we're using this to execute simple code on the PowerPC processor intentionally, it behaves just like most viruses do (when automatically installed without your consent from a webpage).

This thread is designed mainly for devs and other hackers to discuss how to further utilize this exploit and develop new ones that are more useful to the general public. If you want to experiment with the Webkit/Browser exploit and you happen to be on firmware 4.1.0 then have at it! But for the masses, this exploit doesn't mean much just yet. It only gives us access to one of the three processors the Wii U has (not to mention other hardware we don't have access to yet).

We might however be able to use the Webkit/Browser exploit as leverage to execute yet another exploit that ultimately gives us full access to the Wii U hardware. Only time will tell.

FYI this exploit is being tweaked to work with 5.0.0 (the latest firmware), but its still a work in progress

Sony of America is making homebrew launching videos for Nintendo consoles!!!??? What kind of Anti-trust tom-foolery is this!!!!???? lmao jk

Do you have binaries for 5.0? If not how would you acquire them? How did you get the previous ones? I have experience with PowerPC ASM, C/C++ and Python. I would really like to start poking around. Thank you for your work and detailed commenting. I've learned so much from you and you seem to love the pursuit of knowledge and teaching others.

Currently the website runs the leaked version, I will change that to hello world later today

For 4.0.x and 4.1.0, comex provided the binaries to me, which he downloaded from NUS and decrypted with the common key. Once we get the common key, we can do the same, but until then, we're dependent on someone who already hacked the Wii U fully. Because of this, getting the 5.0.0 binaries will require either asking comex again or hacking the Wii U to the same extent on a system where the browser hack works.

No, i'm done.
i got gcc for ppc installed,
i got devkitpro installed,
i got cygwin and python installed,
heck i even got git's "linux env" installed.

What am i doing wrong?

Next time, just make a freaking bat file for Windows, a os people actually use...

This isn't for people like you who can't figure out how to use this shit. Real developers use Linux. Either suck it up and install it yourself, or just wait for someone else to compile it for you. This isn't intended for the likes of you. Stop complaining and port it to Windows yourself.
