Wii U hacked, Drive Authentication Reversed

4.6
It looks like the Wii U has been broken apart by the WiiKey team.


WiiKey is a site that sells products with which you can use your Wii in ways that Nintendo doesn’t want. They have also found a way to bypass the Wii U’s defenses and have claimed that they have got a hack working.

Third-party developers won’t be pleased with this development, although, if it turns out to be true, Nintendo may sell more Wii U systems and gain a good install base.

Here’s what they’ve written on their site.

Yes, its real – we have now completely reversed the WiiU drive authentication, disk encryption, file system, and everything else needed for this next generation K3y. Stay tuned for updates!

Take this as a rumour, since unless people have officially confirmed it to be working, it’s still unverified for now. The team was responsible for releasing the first ever hack for the Wii back in 2007, so this could be as legit as it gets.

Update: We have the features of the device. It’s called the WiiKey U.

-CRE8- Thats funny it about time wii gets another hack, with their crappy security they were asking for it.


It's funny you say that,but for your information every console ever released has been hacked so why bother spending millions or whatever on security when it's going to be hacked anyways? Answer that one fanboy ;)


Because "spending millions" (What an overstatement..) will slow down the hackers and provide the developers more time to create a better means of security while the old one works. Once the old one has been breached they can release the new one and all will be good for them.


The most successful console ever? The Wii 2nd,the Playstation.. the 2 most hacked, pirated ... notice anything? and btw i don't work for Nintendo or Sony so don't really know how much they spend on security so it was a rough guess :)

Maybe the Wii U can be good after all.
