 == 2017 ==
+=== January ===
+A new arm9 exploit, safehax, is revealed by appleTinivi after an anonymous user posted the method on 3dbrew. This means that full control is possible up to firm 11.2, people usually use this to CTRNand downgrade to 2.1, get the otp.bin, and then restore original NAND and install a9lh. (try rewording)
+=== February ===
+The release of firm 11.3 fixed safehax and Fasthax are fixed, this also fixes firm downgrading with DSiWare and hardmodding, if you tried, it would break the home menu.
+=== April ===
+.4 is released, which fixes a previously unknown k11 (ARM11 kernel) vulnerability called udsploit, Smealum releases this exploit for those who are still on 11.3. Soon after this, AppleTinivi (creator of safehax and patcher of rxTools?) updates safehax for 11.3 due to an oversight in Nintendo's previous safehax fix. (probably reword as this is basicaly exact words)
+=== May ===
+Another big CCC again, just kidding it's 33.5c3 (unofficial sequel). It revealed [[boot9strap]], a firmware loader that implements a FIRM sighax signature, and is able to dump the bootroms in software (?). [[Ntrboot]] is also theorized and privately confirmed.
+Since firms can now be forged with nothing more than NAND access (reword), the DSiWare trasnfer and hardmod methods of installing custom firmware resume on the latest firmware using the plaintext attack. (reword its basically copied)
+=== June ===
+The N2DSXL is released in Australia and it's discovered that it happens to have the same vulnerable bootroms as the 3DS did, 7 years ago.
+=== August ===
+[[Ntrboot]] is released, starting with support for just ak2i and R4 flashcards, but quickly grew to others. (maybe add line under)
+=== September ===
+The Gateway team reveals what they have been working on, a new flashcard called [[Stargate]], a supposed hybrid of a ntrboot card, ds card, and [[Sky3DS]]. It was abandoned after a few months due to people seeking out cheaper options for ntrboot cards.
