    Hacking TSEC hacking challenge

    Falcon, in this context, is a specific, proprietary and entirely custom architecture made and kept fairly secret by nVidia. It had to be manually reverse engineered. It's mostly present in nVidia GPUs in order to enforce DRM.

    Tutorial How to get Switch Keys for Hactool/XCI Decrypting

    actually, no, no need for keys.txt. It generates %userprofile%/.switch/prod.keys, which hactool will automatically check for, and load if present. So, no need to ever do "keyset=keys.txt" just use hactool without it

    It could be you're missing newer keys needed for the NCA or something. What system version are you on?

    Tutorial How to get Switch Keys for Hactool/XCI Decrypting

    Type "hactool keyset=" then drag your keys.txt into the cmd window from the file explorer. Alternatively, "mkdir %userprofile%/.switch" then "copy" drag keys.txt into the cmd window, then "%userprofile%/.switch/prod.keys" then you don't have to use --keyset= ever again. Also, hactool expects an...

    Tutorial How to get Switch Keys for Hactool/XCI Decrypting

    Not really sure what's up with that, I don't use any xcis or any of the tools associated with them for anything, I'm mostly trying to get this improved keys.py working right (so people don't encounter errors)

    Tutorial How to install/run ANY Switch firmware UNOFFICIALLY (WITHOUT burning any fuses)

    the point is to keep everything functioning on lower FW. Imagine an exploit comes out (there's already sort of an example of this with PPT JPN) for lower FW that requires a cart based game.

    It's a preventative measure, unfortunately. For example, forget to run hekate with the patched FS one time, and your cart slot won't work on lower FWs. It's kinda like burning a fuse, but for the cart slot controller.
