fwiw the new key disclosure is mostly just interesting for reverse engineers just getting started on finding their own IOSU sploits atm. if you're fit in that category or otherwise wanna check out a 14mb elf for some reason (or those silly C2W symbols they left in) you can decrypt an IOSU image by cutting off the first 0x200 bytes and using:
Code:
openssl aes-128-cbc -d -nopad -K [iosukey] -iv 00000000000000000000000000000000 -in fw.img -out fw.dec.img
(that's a capital K!)

the decrypted binary starts with an ELF loader similar to the old IOS elf loader on the wii, and is followed by the actual IOS elf, super easy to throw in IDA etc. since you don't need to mess with sections.

With the IOSU keys pretty much compromised and I'm presuming an exploit within the next view days, I kinda wonder if it'd be possible to like port WiiMC or another Wii homebrew that turned it into a media player to the WiiU, or just make one from scratch. It'd be great if a dev could unlock the WiiU's blueray drive to play bluerays. Can't way to find out what's all possible with the key(s) and exploit in the next few weeks.

Basically, Hykem proved he's alive, and all the people that were pissing on him probably committed suicide.
Either that or now they're just going to complain that he extended the release deadline.
So it's just a matter of waiting a little longer? Did he say until the end of Feb? :)

    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.

    But you still don't know what it was?
