Reminder: ShofEL2 cannot be patched in existing units (it will work on *any* firmware, past or future), it allows full access (all keys and secrets), and it is completely undetectable by normal software. You can dual boot Linux and Switch OS with impunity.

Took a peek at latest PS4 Pro (CUH-72xx, board NVG-001): same southbridge (CXD90046GG), newly marked syscon (A06-C0L2 but still RL78/G13) - so nothing changes in terms of "Aux Hax" stuff :)

Fun fact: we started upstreaming some patches months ago (working with the linux-tegra community on Tegra X1 support in mainline Linux), so if you've seen anyone else running Linux on the Switch recently... chances are they were running some of our code unknowingly ;-)

Small update to Aux Hax: Nearly same methods are working against devices on recent PS4 Pro board NVB-003: Syscon A05-C0L2 (R5F101LL) Belize southbridge (CXD90046GG) Belize has ROM readout protection and clears stack...they're learning ;)

Jokes aside, we have a 90-day responsible disclosure window for ShofEL2 ending on April 25th. Since another person published the bug so close to our declared deadline, we're going to wait things out. Stay tuned.

Turns out USB *does* work on PS4 Linux. We thought it didn't, and that more work was needed, but we must've accidentally fixed something.

@VVildCard777 @LightningMods_ With emc code exec, you can handle all snvs msgs to sc yourself. Makes it easier to fiddle with snvs contents and avoid bad writes into the actual sc. sc dump is still required for key. hdd backup isn't required, but maybe faster than going through recovery install.
