    So I heard. A userland exploit is definitely a good start, but it is not a complete exploit chain quite yet. There still needs to be a kernel exploit, and if the Switch 2 runs on top of a hypervisor system like the PS5 and Xbox consoles (since the 360), a hypervisor exploit.

    Right now, this exploit gives access to a limited sandbox, but still allows for execution of code, albeit in a limited scope, which can still aid in understanding the console better.

    Oh I agree. Its a start to greatness though. As much as we all hate AI it will further the cracking of the switch 2.

    Yes, although it has also been leading to early public disclosure of exploits. For example, the PS5 exploit could have waited a few weeks for GTA VI to come out, and this exploit could have waited a couple of weeks for the OoT remake to come out. I think there are people who are essentially acting as AI scriptkiddies who aren't really working within the hacking communities who are trying to make a name for themselves and end up making lives more difficult in the long run for people who want to hack consoles.
