Part 9/11:
Hackers have a track record of finding innovative ways to overcome security layers, especially in modern devices where hardware and software segmentation can be exploited in combination. Buchanan’s demonstration shows that even the most fortified systems can be chipped away at with enough ingenuity and expertise.
Looking Forward
This event serves as a reminder that the pursuit of security is a continual arms race. For Nintendo, this means the challenge now is to reinforce defenses against fault injection, improve secure boot mechanisms, and possibly incorporate additional layers such as hardware-based cryptography to prevent or mitigate exploits like Buchanan's.
