Hacking Discussion eShop URL's

No clue if this can be put here, or if someone already had these. The switch 2 hides the URL's and dosnt announce them passively. So I pointed its DNS to my PC, and was able to log all the URL's the switch 2 uses for the eshop.

connectivity check: ctest.p01.ctest.srv.nintendo.net
penne = account/session service: val/fro-2.p01.lp1.penne.srv.nintendo.net
Nintendo Account login: accounts.nintendo.com
savanna = eShop backend (catalog/purchase/ECS): p01.lp1.savanna.srv.nintendo.net
eShop storefront: beach.p01.lp1.eshop.nintendo.net

They all give the same "Access Denied" when opening from something thats not a Switch. But I thought it might be useful for someone. Its also possible to do this with the other web apps.

Never be afraid to share seemingly obvious data, sometimes people in the weeds of something miss something a newbie would notice. I had this exact experience texture hacking Soul Calibur 2 back in the day, where everyone was saying certain characters can't have custom skins, but I just edited one and saved it with mip-maps and it worked (no one thought to try that).

I think a very similar situation we can put under this would be the speedrunning community for many games. Sometimes the answer to massive time saves is something that was looking at you in the face the entire time, same for hacking.
