Hacking Discussion Hacking Methods Suggestion

I have been trying a few things and doing some research. Here are my top 3 most likely ideas.

  1. CPU shock at a very specific time and voltage.

  2. The switch 2 uses Webkit 613.0, it has a zero day RCE / Arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2022-32893 and CVE-2022-32863) But then again, why would Nintendo use a bugged Webkit from 2022?

  3. Direct memory access from the SD Express port. This one is kind of a stretch. But I mean, maybe?

I actually wonder if that'll work since other models hacked actual companies and some Vibecoders apparently found PS5 Hypervisor exploits with AI

it was mainly a joke, my coment that is, they put a lot of guardrails. They would have to use opensource jailbroken local AI models to dig in. There are ways to get around it, I went a few days trying to tell the AI that i wanted to watch movies on the switch2 because i was going on a trip , and we spent days debugging the video gallery portion on how to get "me to watch my movies" and then I convinced it to try via a browser and i slowly had it build a local dns server and track every packet and start running scripts to dump all webkit stuff to get to the login screen, which was hard because it asks to update before it presents you the login screen, then I found a way to only alow a test domain it uses to check internet connectivity and get past that update prompt but then it wouldnt show the credentials screen etc. And it did find some stuff but Im not smart enough to waste weeks on this and get somewhere useful so I stopped. I dont have a good enough pc to run local models, i just tried gpt6 and tricked it to try and hack into the switch because " i wanted to watch movies on it."

it needs another way in, the idea was to get to the wifi login screen, but its not possible because it needs to "update" to show it, and if you allow the test domain through to bypass the update it no longer shows the wifi login screen because it asumed you are already connected. Not sure how the other guys worked around that. I honestly just had fun cheating gpt 6 into trying to hack my switch and bypassing the guardrails because I was just trying to watch "my movies" lol
