@ipg i have almost certainly mentioned this to you before but i love the 3ds hacking talk at whatever security conference, where they switch to a slide that says "the 3ds browser uses webkit" and the crowd cheers

@monorail i think my second favourite is marcan talking about modding the PS4 at the same conference and just skipping over the exploit process because "it's webkit on freebsd it's boring anyone can do it"

@ipg related: it's so funny to me that there was someone in the 3ds hacks community that was angry that there was a known exploit that wasn't being released (it was suspected that a major update was coming soon so they were saving the exploit). they thought "just release it for the people who can't hack their consoles yet and find another exploit after the update, it can't be that hard"

and then, to prove their point, they found and released an exploit in like a week

...then months later they came crawling back like "yeah i got super lucky, this is hard as hell"

@ipg @monorail i also love how marcan casually dropped in the Q&A he was running latest firmware, which there were no public exploits for at the time

that whole talk was incredible tbh
