While this specifically may be true, it still involves modding and might not be trivial for non-technical users. My in hindsight naive ideal, was that this would be possible without modding. Strictly speaking that is still possible, but becomes a whole lot more annoying taking into account all...
Sorry all, for the way-overdue reply, I have been busy with life among other things.
As it stands right now, you can exchange streetpasses via CFW by sharing files with friends and modded your 3DS.
As for streetpasses over the internet and making that seemless - MrNbaYoh is working on it - as...
I suppose we could also try contact MrNbaYoh for further details on his research, however I wouldn't be surprised if he signed a non-disclosure agreement with Nintendo.
However, if anyone else knows a security researcher, that could possibly help with this problem, feel free to try get them...
I did some brainstorming on the available information, as well as trying to approach this project in the best way. And yes, indeed, if the encryption is broken (which shouldn't be too hard as it should be based on static or known data), packets can potentially be crafted to completely take over...
So, I just confirmed with a friend that the "Nintendo_3DS_continuous_scan_000" is indeed sent out. This also happens for my 2DS's but I didn't see it until recently. I was applying MAC filters to filter out the garbage, but apparently streetpass doesn't use Nintendo vendor mac addresses, so I...
While I have not played enough games with heavy streetpass functionality, this is definitely a good argument. Either way it should be fun to try and figure out how to make vanilla streetpass work in some capacity again, without needing to be in close proximity to others. Especially now with the...
Can anybody else confirm what the probe requests send out? I'm in the EU, so maybe the SSID is location dependent?
The wiki is still correct about the random strings probe requests.
It also seems inconsistent with the talk that authentication doesn't happen (according to the researcher it does).
Thanks so much! I would've never figured this stuff out on my own. I'll look into it more later, but I watched the talk, and man I was completely wrong!
Another thing that struck me as odd; The wiki mentions that the probe requests constantly send out an SSID of...
First of all; Hi!, I'm new to GBAtemp and was mostly a lurker every once in a while.
So to begin with this topic, the reason for me starting it is that I want more streetpasses. But because of the dwindling amount of 3DS users and the death of spotpass in 2018 and in turn PiPass/HomePass, this...
Only thing drive me crazy is all these new horror games nowadays is its so dark, all time. I can't even play them. I understand they trying to create spooky but be creative a little, not just darkness with pop out scare scenes.
