Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

Just making sure, the release of the kernel exploit will be announced in this thread right?

Yes, I will parade around with large banners on this thread and every other one once it is working/finished/released

I'm holding you to that.

I believe the phrase "pics or it didn't happen" applies here

Just hope it's released before 2016

He's using it as a form of reference, it's not him attempting to gloat or anything.
It's shorter than writing "on that bug which was posted earlier by me?" since he has only posted one 'bug'. It's simpler for everybody if he labels it as such.
No confusing references in between, just solid information.

Please let us just not argue semantics, and keep the discussion civil.

He has posted multiple times asking about the "the" bug when he was already told to pm a dev.

He has been doing it for attention whether it's on purpose or not.

I wasn't trying to nit pick how he wrote his sentences but it could be written shorter with the same output.

Any info on my bug
Any info on the bug I found

I don't see the problem with typing 6 extra letters.

Each to his own opinion I suppose.

Also, the reason it hasn't been confirmed to be exploitable is because we're so close to getting the kernel exploit working that we've been focusing solely on that.

 

[VinsCool]

Keep up the good work everyone! It is getting closer!

Will the kernel exploit need to be changed to work on 5.3.2? (I know obviously the webkit exploit for it is still a work in progress & is yet to be confirmed as working)

The kernel hasn't really been changing much, so probably not beyond a few addresses, if even that.

more accurate terminology is

tits or it didn't happen

also

THE HYPE TRAIN IS APPROACHING ​

[endoverend]

Doesn't matter who found what bug. Literally someone made a program to do that, and what I or anyone else did with it wasn't hard.

This is getting me excited

 

[TeamScriptKiddies]

What are the major benefits to a kernel exploit anyways over userspace? The only 2 I know for certain are SD card access and different controllers in-game, but there have to be more specific elements that make the kernel exploit desirable (sd card access is a big one though, we would quickly run out of interesting homebrew if we couldn't load files).
And crwys, if you can't make posts that aren't attacks against me/ the_randomizer, please leave.

Full access to the Wii U's hardware . Of course lots of work will have to be done to use it to its full potential but its not going to happen with Userland exploits alone. Kernel access is needed for that

This would include RAM access and playing online without updating? (I hope my question will/can be answered this time)

 

[NWPlayer123]

Full RAM access yes, playing online without updating no (an IOSU exploit would be needed)

No, actually. You can just reimplement the code to connect to servers.

 

[CosmoCortney]

okay, thank you

Will system firmware spoofing be possible with kernel?

 

[NWPlayer123]

Will system firmware spoofing be possible with kernel?

I'm unsure how much access we have once memprot is disabled. I'd assume accessing things like the eShop would be possible with a few patches.

 

[the_randomizer]

While I was proven wrong the last time I said no, I'm going to say no. I don't think FW modification is possible with kernel.
And on the topic of downgrading, has anyone looked into nintendo server spoofing with encrypted lower FW versions to downgrade?

That really sucks, as newer games like Xenoblade Chronicles X will have a newer firmware meaning those who want to play are essentially shit out of luck, or any 2015 game for that matter. That doesn't bode well for those who want new games and a hacked console, does it not? Yeah, hacked console users are f*cked.

good old days when only modchip makers existed and, even if you had to pay a certain ammount to play all the games, you'd never have to worry about someone else calling you a pirate, because that concept was still very green and was only later better implemented by the media and the game industries to brainwash the minds of those who pirated the games. what keeps me from pirating a game and then, if i like it, buy it? and what if i don't buy it, will i blame it on piracy?
