Tegra X1 makes the Nintendo Switch very easy to hack

Apparently the Nvidia Tegra X1 SoC is the key to the ease with which hackers have managed to almost hack the Nintendo console. From Ars Technica it is reported that a Webkit flaw has been discovered that allows access to the operating system at a very low level, an essential step to break the security measures of the game console and be able to install homebrew and load backup copies.

Hakers Plutoo, Derrek and Naehrwert claimed at the 34th Chaos Communication Congress (34C3) that they have a method of accessing the operating system kernel that almost gives them full control over the Nintendo Switch hardware.

This team has managed to solve some of the exploits to delve into how the Switch works at the most basic level. They also managed to access the data that came through the memory bus to determine the right moment to take control. Finally they have managed to solder an FPGA on the Tegra X1 to make way for decoding the secret key that unlocks all the encrypted binaries of the operating system.

All this has been possible thanks to the deep knowledge of the Tegra X1 processor, this information has been obtained by the Jetson TX1 development kit that has allowed hackers to have a significant insight into the processor's insides.
