On top of this, | brickgate/brickway - A scandal where Gateway released a FIRM that intentionally bricks consoles using Gateway3DS flashcart clones (such as R4 and Orange3DS). On top of this, its code was written badly enough that it triggered on many legitimate Gateway3DS cartridges, bricking completely 'innocent' users in the crossfire. | ||

This would set up further exploits developed by TuxSH and Lazypixie which would take over the ARM11 kernel, and later on Safehax 2.x to also take over ARM9. However, due to its potential for malicious use (i.e. remotely bricking consoles), this exploit chain was submitted to HackerOne sometime earlier and patched in version 11.12, two months before 36c3 started. | ||
