 ===== What is ReSwitched? ===== ===== What is ReSwitched? =====
-To be filled ​in later.+ReSwitched is a team of skilled reversers, exploit implementers,​ vulnerability sleuths, programmers,​ a community of people of varying capabilities to provide support and feedback, and our tools.\\ 
 + //Our most valued, beloved tools.// <3 
 + 
 +We all have one thing in common: **We have fun breaking things.**

-**Absolutely not.** As stated on our [[start|homepage]],​ ReSwitched does **not** support piracy in any way, shape or form. ReSwitched will attempt ​to ensure that our exploits ​allow homebrew while preventing piracy.+**Absolutely not.** As stated on our [[:start|homepage]],​ ReSwitched does **not** support piracy in any way, shape or form.

 +===== Is ReSwitched ​working on/with "​new"​ firmwares? ===== 
 +=== (aka "Do you have secret exploits that you're not telling us about?"​) === 
 +<​del>​tl;​dr:​ Not yet. //​Honest.//</​del>​ We have secret exploits; None that we're not telling you about. //​Honest.//​ 
 + 
 +ReSwitched is currently using [[hacking:​tools:​pegaswitch|PegaSwitch]] for escalated vulnerability research, which targets [[software/​os_updates#​changes_in_system_version_200|System Software 2.0]]. 
 +Unfortunately,​ consoles with this particular revision aren't common, and there'​s no current known entrypoint on launch firmware, 1.0. 
 + 
 +Internally, PegaSwitch runs on [[software/​os_updates#​changes_in_system_version_210|System Software 2.1]], [[software/​os_updates#​changes_in_system_version_220|2.2]] and [[software/​os_updates#​changes_in_system_version_230|2.3]],​ as well. These builds are not planned to be released, due to the use of unpublished browser vulnerabilities,​ until these vulnerabilities are patched or published. 
 + 
 +To reiterate: Internally, what we have currently, enable running the same old Pegaswitch, on 2.1 through 2.3. They do not escalate beyond the browser. 
 + 
 +While finding [[hacking:​vulnerabilities:​start|vulnerabilities]] on current and future [[software:​os_updates|firmware revisions]] is important, writing an exploit on [[software/​os_updates#​changes_in_system_version_200|a version]] where we have a suitable [[hacking:​tools:​pegaswitch|entrypoint]] and [[hacking:​vulnerabilities:​webkit:​cve-2016-4657|vulnerabilities]] (as is the case with Pegaswitch, 2.0-2.3) ​will enable us to find vulnerabilities on, and write exploits ​for, current and later versions easier.
