[Wii U] Possibile exploit fino al firmware 5.5.0 Opzioni

[Samatarou]

Hykem, conosciuto per aver piratato numerose console, ha dichiarato che per Natale arriverà il suo exploit in gradi di aggirare le protezioni del Nintendo Wii U. Esso funziona dal firmware 2.0.0 fino alla versione 5.5.0 e lavora sull'IOSU, il sistema operativo della console.

Hykem vorrebbe rilasciare l'exploit per Natale, ma al momento ci sono alcune problematiche non risolte, quindi tutto ciò non è garantito. Riuscirà a mantenere la promessa?

So, I've got good news and bad news.
The bad news is that I'm going to postpone the release again. I said this week would be a more realistic release date, but I never confirmed it would happen then. Still, it's not a huge delay and it's definitely not to wait for a new firmware update.
Like I stated before, I have the entire month of January free just to work on this and the exploit will be released and maintained before February (yes, I'm sure of that).
Now the good news, which should explain the additional delay. I need some time to pursue something I found in the MCP module. If I'm correct about this, we should be able to get a boot-time exploit. The reason for that is that the MCP module is responsible for launching "master" titles (like the PPC kernel, for example) and I found a bug that, if it turns out to be exploitable, should allow to hijack execution while MCP is still preparing to launch stuff. This means, early IOSU access and a direct boot into an exploitable environment. Not to mention that MCP is the IOSU user module with most privileges (next to BSP that is) and having access to it alone is more than enough to own the IOSU kernel at any given time.
I believe it's important to look into this because if it works, no one will have to worry about possibly bricking consoles by installing custom titles (homebrew channel, for example) and then attempting to launch them before triggering the exploit again after a fresh boot.

With that said, if this turns out to be nothing, I'll release the exploit right away.
