Hackers Plutoo, derrek, and naehrwert are set to discuss Nintendo Switch hacking during the Chaos Communication Congress (a massive hacking meetup in Germany) this year. The talk is scheduled for one of the days of the Congress, that is sometime between December 27th and December 30th (exact date to be announced).
This is important to the scene, for multiple reasons. First, because it is always interesting to hear about hacks from the hackers themselves. More importantly because Plutoo et. al. have been known to release significant pieces of their work right after their presentations.
In 2015 for example, Smealum, Derrek, and Plutoo released full exploits for the latest 3DS firmware at the time, along will significant information on how to hack the Wii U. Plutoo announced kernel access on the Switch a while ago, and its not unrealistic to expect a release along those lines for 3.0.0 owners.
Specifically though, the description of the presentation (see below, original can be found on cccs website) does not make any promise of a significant release. So thats just gut feeling and Im not pretending I know exactly what these folks have up their sleeves.
Usually at these events there's some sort of big reveal. Do you guys they'll show something new off or release a new exploit available to everyone?
