Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

Doesn't this description detail enough for Nintendo to find and patch this?

no, it doesn't...

Actually, in other words, it was a function in gx2.rpl that just describes how to call the DMA command, which in turn is PROTECTED (or SHOULD BE) by IOSU, but it's not.
Thanks guys, for making a shitstorm out of this, always nice

That's just a theory, none of us have confirmed that yet. As far as I know, the GPU DMA transfers may perform address checking.
I didn't see the picture, but if it was just a screenshot from gx2.rpl, it's hardly a problem to post that. Anyone can download and decrypt the OSv11 binaries and considering that the 3DS has a similar flaw (gspwn), it's not that much of a stretch to consider that the Wii U has it too.
It's public knowledge that the Wii U's GPU is based on the Radeon R600 series, so you can easily cross reference the GX2 code with the R600 specifications (https://github.com/laanwj/mesa/blob/master/src/gallium/drivers/r600/r600d.h).

If you self-host the exploit on a computer at home, your wiiu just needs access to your local network.

And how would I do that without internet?

A network simply allows two computers to communicate. A network connection DOES NOT require an internet connection.
The internet is a large global network that is used to connect to computers that are a far distance away from each other.

Block your Wii U's MAC adress in your router!
You at least need a network for now! Maybe there will be a USB/SD card method but not now!

So l can use a router without a connection? That's good because I have one.

Some computers also have a built-in computer to computer network function.

How would I find out if I have that?

Most Mac product have this feature. I don't know about windows. You can also make a network with an ethernet cable running from your PC to an adapter on the wii u.

I have Windows 8.1. So I would just create the connection to router (cable line to router) then set up my PC and use WAMP?

That would be possible. Is is a small possibility that your router will not work without an ethernet connection to the internet.

Routers by definition dont NEED an internet connection. Theyre used to route signal. Of course you can make an intranet, and its not mac exclusive.

Can I make an intranet with the software listed at the bottom of this page? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intranet

You dont need software. You just plug a router into a computer and a wii u into the router. Its already been said

But how would I plug the Wii U into the router? I don't have a ethernet adapter. Do I use USB?

Again. Its been said. Ethernet adapter, or wifi.

 

[YugamiSekai]

Again. Its been said. Ethernet adapter, or wifi.

As I said, is it compatible with USB also?

 

[EmceeKerser]

Give it a go, probably wont work. USB generally needs drivers, but give it a try.

Although to be perfectly honest, I dont see it working

Is your router that old it doesn't have wifi?

 

[YugamiSekai]

No it supports wireless, I just wanted other methods just in case that didn't work.
