Hacking kexploit for switch achieved by plutoo and friends *no release*

[DinohScene]

Switch and 3DS are two different beasts, not gonna hold my breath

I remember qlutoo or smea saying the Switch OS/kernel is very similar to the 3DS.

I wouldn't be surprised that there's more flaws in the firmware then just the single kernel exploit.

To be completely honest, I don't know why anyone would think there weren't.

i didnt say that theyre the same........i said that the same thing can apply to the Switch. and you said 4.0 will never be hacked.....you cant say that...because no system is bugfree. any system can be hacked

I say realistic. Pessimistic is "the switch will never be hacked."

Randomizer seems to disagree.

Sources: literally 3 seconds of google work.

I have a 2.0.0 switch for sale. $1800

and my cousin want to sell his 1.0 Switch for $6500

Well... Nevermind...

saying it will take 4+ years isn't much better

Who is to say it won't..

People who are complaining about no release - do you guys realize that they're not releasing anything at the time not because they're selfish assholes, but rather because they don't want Nintendo to patch this immediately and, essentially, lose all their work within a few days?

It's inevitable for Nintendo to patch it; the more likely reason is because they've only just gotten the access and want to polish the code and make sure it's in working order for public use (no bricks, etc). They also wont lose their work.

Presumably the kexploit is for 2.0.0-3.0.0, with it being patched 3.0.x and up already, so they aren't losing any work.

no they just want to be special, if this was to help the community source would be released.

Why? So someone can release a hacky variant that bricks systems? We may not see something tomorrow, but to say nothings coming is petty.

Have they mentioned any FW specifically?

Not everything is about the community.. considering past things of others.

it's quite obvious they like to hold stuff and keep themselves on a highhorse, and saying a hacky variant that bricks systems would happen is retarded. They could just release a writeup on the exploit, or the exploit itself.

You have no idea how they've even achieved it right now, it's probably a ridiculous amount of buggy bits of code and overflows that don't even work 96% of the time. Just remember how much of a pain it was to get the Wii U exploits working on release, it wasn't great.
It takes time to refine, re-code and nail down an exploit before it's any kind of state to release.
Have patience I'm sure you'll get a release sooner or later, then be thankfull of all the hard work put in to make it user friendly, right now there's probably no actual working code to even release, it will come.

Yes, like the shitty downgrader we got for the 3ds..it NEVER happens. Get real. To think we wouldn't get a hacky build is retarded.

Oh please, this thread isn't even two hours old. Please don't let it turn into a shitstorm that quickly.

Cool beans that they got a kexploit working, hopefully they can reverse even more with it.

 

[rileysrjay]

Lol, people already being impatient and ungrateful and demanding the kexploit now. Even if it was released tomorrow without any bugs (*spoiler alert*, it's not), we'd still be waiting a while for save editors or emulators to be in a working state. We're a long ways off from anything being released, so sit back, relax, make a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy the wait!

Welcome to the temp.

Any system can be hacked, yes, but the PS3 is a good example of being fixed on a certain firmware, i.e. 3.55. Anything past that is a no go.

I'm just not going to have high expectations, if it works on 4.x.x firmware, great.
