Hykem got raided

[blaze862]

What makes more sense to you guys, Hykem getting raided and losing all his stuff or a false rumour going around? I just hope that if it was a false rumour, Hykem did not make it up himself to get away from all the people calling him out over the iosu. I wouldn't be surprised if it was though, I mean with all the shit he's getting the easiest way to back out of making the exploit (without people calling him out as a liar) would be to pull a stunt like this. He saves his reputation and he doesn't have to bother making the iosu anymore. Win-Win

Please tell me this is not true

From what I gather, Hykem got a call from a detective to confirm his address. This caused him to destroy his data. The next day he gets raided, but not arrested. He calls Crediar to tell all this. As such, we know of this.

And this is why I'm calling BS on the whole raid thing. The only thing we know, is that Hykem told Crediar that he was raided.

Hykem live in the US? Has anyone seen this on a news channel? A house gets raided and it's always on at least local news.

Enough evidence to get a warrant to raid and seize all his devices but not to arrest him? Very highly unlikely. If they had enough on him to raid him, he'd be in jail.

I'm still calling BS and saying that he claimed to be raided so he doesn't have to release IOSU and can leave the community on a high note. Instead of just leaving and everyone hating him more than they already do in here.

I hope everything turns out okay. He could have put the IOSU on a USB and hid it between his butt cheeks.

 

[RepeatingDigits]

I think he's doing all this to not release the probably inexistent IOSU. That's okay, I can wait for another exploit.

So the only thing thats really known is that some dude called ak47 annoyed a few established hackers with a doxlist on twitter. not confirmed hykem was on that list,but the timing might be used to dissapear and be born again. nuff said.
im not calling crediar a liar,though. just rapporting whats stated there adding a few thoughts....

erm, did you mean IOSU exploit?

IOSU and kernel are two different things. There are already several 5.5 kernel exploits that've been developed by several other users, and are waiting to be released very soon, I hope...

I'm kinda new to this WiiPou scene and uh.. What exactly is the difference between Kexploit and IOSU..?

IOSU grants full access to the system while Kernal just grants access to the majority of features. For example, USB can only be used by the IOSU.

So there are Kexploits out there, but just not for 5.1.1 correct?
I mean, I would only assume so.

No, there are private kexploits for 5.5.1

There is complete, fully-functional kexploit for 5.5.1, but it's been private for quite a while.

I'm sure it exists. Sure the story doesn't add up, but I don't think there's some sinister motive behind it from crediar or hykem. The universe doesn't want a public IOSU exploit to be possible, so there won't be one.

So they're keeping it safe untilllll...??
I mean, i head that there wasn't any useful homebrew out yet, but how do they expect people to develop on a console that they don't have hacking access?

 

[Exavold]

This whole story feels fake tho. , we can only wait for Hykem himself at this point.

This is everyone's exact thought...

It's unlike the 3DS, where the kexploits are released asap.

hmmmmm... seems.. I actually don't know what i was gonna say here, so..

 

[EclipseSin]

Reverse Engineering in itself is not illegal. I doubt he got raided. If he did, it was for something else. Anyway, I figured something like this was going to happen since December, but I really hoped he'd come through. Oh well.

What makes you say that?

 

[DarkFlare69]

You would actually be shocked if you only knew.
Even with programs as simple as foremost file carver you can recover many things even after zeroing and fully formatting. The only way to fully wipe a drive would be to incinerate the drive leaving nothing but ash.
And with most drives as long as you have the computer it came from getting encryption keys is fully achievable.

Anyway, this thread isn't about arguing over encrypted drives. So, say what you will I am leaving this argument after this post.

I just want to be informed, how does that work? How can it be recovered if I wipe every single byte off my drive? This isn't windows where they have restore points or some shit
