< p > In order to exploit the SAFE_MODE firmware of our system, we need to inject an exploited WiFi profile.< / p >
< p > As we already have Homebrew access, we can use slotTool to do this.< / p >
< p > Once the WiFi profile has been injected, we will use SAFE_MODE, which is a recovery feature present on all 3DS consoles, to activate the exploited WiFi profile.< / p >
< p > For a more technical explanation, see < a href = "https://github.com/zoogie/unSAFE_MODE/" > here< / a > for information about the unSAFE_MODE exploit.< / p >
