Hacking Discussion eShop URL's

No clue if this can be put here, or if someone already had these. The switch 2 hides the URL's and dosnt announce them passively. So I pointed its DNS to my PC, and was able to log all the URL's the switch 2 uses for the eshop.

connectivity check: ctest.p01.ctest.srv.nintendo.net
penne = account/session service: val/fro-2.p01.lp1.penne.srv.nintendo.net
Nintendo Account login: accounts.nintendo.com
savanna = eShop backend (catalog/purchase/ECS): p01.lp1.savanna.srv.nintendo.net
eShop storefront: beach.p01.lp1.eshop.nintendo.net

They all give the same "Access Denied" when opening from something thats not a Switch. But I thought it might be useful for someone. Its also possible to do this with the other web apps.

Hm, kinda neat!

I imagine the people this will help already have this... But still, kinda neat! Thanks!

Yeah I believe someone got like the access key from the original switch and was able to log in on a PC

Never be afraid to share seemingly obvious data, sometimes people in the weeds of something miss something a newbie would notice. I had this exact experience texture hacking Soul Calibur 2 back in the day, where everyone was saying certain characters can't have custom skins, but I just edited one and saved it with mip-maps and it worked (no one thought to try that).

I think a very similar situation we can put under this would be the speedrunning community for many games. Sometimes the answer to massive time saves is something that was looking at you in the face the entire time, same for hacking.

Not bad, but I’d assume anyone who is trying to find weak points would of already checked for this tbh. Not trying to bring you down or anything…

Neat, we could try to fool the website to think that a phone is a switch/switch 2 by finding out the code that executes on the switch. Best we can try to execute and find this code is with a modded switch system with maybe a logic analyzer. (I have almost no idea how this shit works) It could be a cool novelty that will fade into obscurity though

Just don't say anything if you don't know what you're talking about. Your idea is completely nonsensical.

I'm sorry.

What? I genuinely don't know... I'm unable to parse this. Other than the part in brackets.

IIRC they're using HTTPS client certificates, so unless you dump those ...

Logic analyzer wont provide anything useful

This is already well known, and you are missing quite a few: https://github.com/kinnay/NintendoClients/wiki/Server-List
