What does Nintendo Switch and iOS 9.3 have in common? CVE-2016-4657 walk-through
- anomie31 10y agoI gotta say, I'm really annoyed at whoever let the cat out of the bag so soon. I'm afraid shit like this will frustrate the efforts of many. Have some patience y'all.
- nicky0 10y agoYou're gonna have to be cleverer then.
- LiveOverflow 10y agoIt was already out of the bag. That the switch is vulnerable to this was quickly known on day 1 and shortly after posted all over the internet. I didn't leak something private.
- anomie31 10y agoI know, I wasn't referring to you in particular, it was no secret a while ago. I guess it was inevitable since it was so easy. I'm just sore that this will likely be patched in future updates now.
- russellbeattie 10y agoI noticed when I signed into Twitter via the Switch, it used the internal browser, which Twitter identified as Safari. Not sure what the actual User-Agent was, but the big N seems to have just pulled the browser code off the shelf (not surprising).
- anomie31 10y agoThe web browser used is Netfront, according to licensing info.
- creshal 10y agoWebKit based browsers tend to include Safari in their user agent.

- hulahoof 10y agoI was at work so unable to watch video, the GitHub[1] page was quite informative though =) [1] https://github.com/LiveOverflow/lo_nintendoswitch/blob/master/poc1.html https://github.com/LiveOverflow/lo_nintendoswitch/blob/maste...
- jsheard 10y agoThe 3DS was hacked multiple times via pre-existing WebKit exploits, you'd think Nintendo would have learned to keep it up to date by now. Apparently not...
- grawlinson 10y agoNintendo isn't the only one. The PS Vita (and PS4, but I may be wrong) were also hacked by a chain of exploits that started with, you guessed it, simple WebKit exploits.
- IntelMiner 10y agoNintendo doesn't directly control the browser. The browser is based on "NetFront" from Japanese company "Access Co. Ltd" According to Wikipedia, the last "stable release" was in 2012. Which may also contribute to things https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetFront https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetFront
- creshal 10y agoAnd before that they used pre-Blink Opera. Nintendo really has bad luck with picking their browser vendors…
- fredoralive 10y agoThe browser last updated in 2012 seems to be the older Netfront that uses a custom engine, not the Webkit one (Netfront NX). The older Netfront predates Webkit, it was available for the Dreamcast.
- veli_joza 10y agoThanks for very informative video. Sketches and diagrams on top of code are really well done. I wish more tutorials would use them.
- imjustsaying 10y ago>What does Nintendo Switch and iOS 9.3 have in common? CVE-2016-4657 walk-through For the ESLers out there, the verb here should be do instead of does.
- LiveOverflow 10y agothanks. I blame it on being not a native speaker :P I fixed it on YouTube.
- esrauch 10y agoJust fyi his correction is right but somewhat pedantic: no one would bat an eye at that error in a work email.
- aikinai 10y agoThis isn't pedantic; it's of the level that it "sounds wrong" and will be immediately noticed and distracting (for a brief moment) to any native speaker, not just pedants.
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoI'm a big pedant and I agree with the parent; it's not that bad. It might mark an uncompleted word order change for a native speaker "what does A have in common with B?" as opposed to "what do A and B have in common?" but it's not that distracting TBH.
- esrauch 10y agoI'm curious by the idea that your co-workers/bosses aren't making minor grammatical errors on a regular basis.
- jimmies 10y ago"What does Nintendo Switch have in common with iOS 9.3?" will work too, right?
- throwaway16484 10y agoConsidering all the horror stories about Japan's IT industry, should this really come as a surprise?
- kworker 10y agoWhat horror?
- breakingcups 10y agoVery well explained video. This was incredibly interesting to watch.
