nxboot's Introduction

Hi there, I'm Oliver! You will find me online by the aliases Mologie or Tri. This GitHub account of mine contains ramblings of technical nature, PoCs, and other personal projects worth archiving.

I currently work at Authentic Vision GmbH in Salzburg as Head of Engineering, where we stop fraud using a copy-proof security label and accompanying mobile App and SDK.

Personal Projects

talos-vmtoolsd: Integrates the Talos Kubernetes distribution and VMware vSphere. Estimated to run on more than 2K machines based on GitHub-provided download statistics.
NXBoot (repo): Starts arbitrary early boot code on vulnerable Nintendo Switch models from macOS and jailbroken iOS devices, using a custom IOKit-based implementation of Fusée Gelée. Still has ~100 active monthly users (down from 500 when launched in 2018).

Other small or archived projects of mine can be found in my repositories list:

Tooling

Proficient with Go / C++ / C / Obj-C / Git / K8s / VMware vSphere / Linux / macOS / networks / whiteboards / Google ;-). I edit code with Sublime Text / JetBrains IDEs / Xcode. Occasionally you'll find me using Swift / Kotlin / Java / Python / PostgreSQL / HTML+CSS+JS / LaTeX, and reverse engineer software with IDA and Hopper.

nxboot's Issues

TrollStore already works!

On my device (iPad Air 3 on iOS 15.0 running Dopamine) was successfully able to boot my Nintendo Switch from RCM by exporting the ipa using AppIndex. Turns out, it already works with TrollStore! You only need to release the .ipa file.

Update via Cydia does not terminate the application

The application remains opened when updated through Cydia. A random crash happens when the user returns to it. Launching the application again then spawns the new executable, which will work normally.

Workaround: Create a post-install script that runs killall NXBoot

Catalyst Build

Hey,

could you add a download link to a catalyst build?
I don't seem to find it anywhere. I tried building myself, there are a few AppCenter Frameworks missing.

Any way this could be installed through AltStore?

Hey I think this would be very useful but I don't have plans to jailbreak my phone. I don't know a lot about iOS development but at a high-level it seems like this app should be able to run in user-space and not actually require any priv-esc or working around the OS, so I was wondering if this app would work if it was installed through AltStore instead of Cydia? I understand it probably needs to be recompiled to produce an .ipa file but it would be great if that is possible and could be published as a release or something. There may be technical details I am unfamiliar with though so I understand if that's not the case.

Repo cannot be added to Sileo on Dopamine (rootless)

Dopamine is out of beta. I tried adding your repo, but I can't install nxboot. I'm guessing some dependency is not compatible with rootless.

Is it possible for you to investigate and maybe update?

Dopamine 1.0.2
iPhone mini 13
iOS 15.1.1

ERR: ControlRequestTO should have failed

Does this mean my switch is patched or is there something funky going on with the program? Tried on MacOSX Mojave and a jaibroken iPad running 13.2.3

Trollstore Support

Hello, I saw that sideloading this ipa is impossible due to sandboxxing causing issues, but since Trollstore allows you alot of free reign like arbitrary entitlements and unsandboxing
I was wondering if there are any plans to update this to allow installing with Trollstore, it would be very helpful for me and my modded switch.
