Changing the name

Open Mrrraou opened this issue 8 years ago • 14 comments

Well, I read the readme.md, but this isn't a hax. Could you please call it something like libsvcpatch or something like that ? As this is confusing, and not an exploit.

It should be called memchunkhax2.1 or something like that

It exploits a vulnerability in the 3ds to gain higher privileges. It's a hack. As to whether it's a good name or semantically correct... that's up for discussion (I don't think it is).

But when you create something I think you should be able to name it as you please.

@idgrepthat Actually, he never created anything... as this is in the 32c3. And this is meant to be used as a "library".

Mrrraou avatar Mar 08 '16 19:03 Mrrraou

You've got to be kidding me... Turning a discussion into a working exploit isn't "doing nothing". If he did nothing, then 10.6 was already kexploited. Nonsense.

He created something, he gets to name something. Doesn't need our permission whether it's a library or not.

Bad kitty.

Creating =/= exploiting/writing code based on the 32c3 talk and based on libkhax/memchunkhax2 source code.

Mrrraou avatar Mar 08 '16 19:03 Mrrraou

Everything is based on something. Svchax is based on memchunkhax2 is based on memchunkhax1 is based on Gateway is based on 3dbrew.

Seriously, you could go back to Dennis Ritchie, Charles Babbage, or their mothers if you want to get exact about credits. Allow people to get recognition if they contribute something.

memchunkhax2 was written from scratch. "svchax" (or whatever this will be called) is based on memchunkhax2 and libkhax, as it reuses some parts of these.

And I'm not saying that he shouldn't get recognition, but that it was discovered and publicly explained by derrek at the 32c3, and it was exploited by aliaspider.

OMG who cares. it's used to gain kernel access. end of story.

This has devolved to a useless discussion about semantics and ethics. I'm just going to shut up and let people contribute without anymore of this noise.

ghost avatar Mar 08 '16 19:03 ghost

Sure. But I just want this to be renamed because the name is pretty confusing. It would be nice to keep "self-explanatory" names.

Mrrraou avatar Mar 08 '16 19:03 Mrrraou

memchunkhax3 or memchunkhax2+ perhaps

LarBob avatar Mar 08 '16 22:03 LarBob

@Mrrraou @aliaspider Think it will be good if it is forked from memchunkhax 2.

I wonder why @aliaspider doesn't close this useless issue :P
