Can't wait to see the home brew being made for this. Especially how the exploit will be fed into the system.

It'll probably be a WebKit vulnerability like most initial console exploits these days.

Dude I was mind blown when I saw that the exploit for a 3DDS was vectored via a sound file?

But my personal favorite was the GTA exploit on the PSP, good times :D

I'm also intrigued to see what mitigations will be involved. Perhaps the browser will run inside a VM?

IIRC the Switch doesn't ship with a web browser at all. This could change down the line, of course.

Apparently the day-1 update will include a browser applet for connecting to captive portal wifi networks.

Hopefully they rushed and used an outdated version of Webkit ;)
