Wii Internet Connection Reverse Engineered

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the probably-violating-some-sort-of-lame-law dept.

AlexTheBeast writes "By packet sniffing his Wi-Fi connection, this hacker has already begun to dig into the internet interactions of the new Nintendo Wii. Basically, by using Firefox and after setting the user agent correctly, anybody can easily browse many WiiShop pages including the WiiShop main page and startup manual. More advanced connections including binary and virtual console downloads are currently in the works. Come join the project."

    Nobody cares about the DMCA nowadays but lawyers and businesses who claim reverse-engineering hurts their business model.
