RIP ketchup hack 2019-2022 you woulda loved among us
Yesterday a trade was made.
I no longer have the Mario Kart Wii ketchup disc.
It's been 3 years. I miss you ketchup hack.
@ipg how does something like this HAPPEN?
was this just like a "hehe what if i-" moment?
@ipg im SO curious if there's any kind of write up or video that explains how ketchup on disc leads to this?
@ipg most people could not dream of achieving so much, even in a dozen lifetimes.
@ipg The lengths speedrunners go to get a better time xD
@ipg oh waw xD I need more information, how's that even possible or was discovered x)
@ipg
i-i thought it was a meme bc it was done in speedruns before
@ipg@wetdry.world you discovered the battle for bikini bottom gamer gunk strat ?
@ipg@wetdry.world ok wow thats impressive
when you think you know all about security for [insert here] and then you find out about or someone shows you some bonkers lunacy nuts exploit
@ipg wait what
@ipg Details and a link please!
@ipg@wetdry.world no fucking way how
@ipg im fairly certain that security researchers just have a brain of children to find exploits, because some of these are not even plausible at all
Have you tried other condiments, or is it specific to ketchup?
I can imagine a pickle might cause an insert.disc error.
And does it improve the flavor? I've always found game discs to be rather bland.
@ipg filet testing
@ipg@wetdry.world please tell me you've seen this

@dark that was my inspiration
@ipg at first I thought this meant the dev's kid "discovered" the issue by accident
(I assume you also found it by accident, though you're clearly an adult who does a lot in this kind of dev area)
@Burstaholic i found it entirelly intentionally! it was more a combination of other exploits that just so happened to require having the disc error out on you
@ipg oh neat! This sounds like a fun write-up whenever you get around to it
@ipg@wetdry.world THAT WAS YOU?????
@ipg@wetdry.world i might be misremembering the wrong ketchup exploit but i remember hearing about ketchup on discs for exploits years ago
@deci there was one for bfbb speedrunning where scuffing up ur disc in a certain spot would let u glitch through a certain area in the game, that's what my inspiration was
@ipg@wetdry.world THAT's what i'm remembering lol
@ipg The heck?
@ipg a saucy exploit
@ipg i’m not chronically online for this i need context do you have like a screenshot of the tweet or something
@leap123 what do you mean. this is the context. i found a security flaw in CTGP (mario kart wii mod) that allowed for unsigned code execution if u put ketchup on the disc.
@ipg
How?? 0_0
@ipg arbitrary condiment execution
@winload_exe in the almost 2 years since discovering this method nobody's called it that. thank you this is great
@ipg i have the need to know and i’m too afraid to ask
@domi dvd drive throughput stops if the disc can't be read
@ipg that i know xD
how to chain code exec from that sounds bizarre. race condition and it doesn’t check if it actually loaded correct stuff?
@domi i plan on doing a full ""writeup"" soon (i planned on it a while ago, when i found it, just never had anywhere to put it)
but it's a Race condition yeah, especially considering it's in Mario Kart Wii >w< - you could also argue a TOCTOU?
@ipg I love it: the ketchup bug:)
@ipg NOOOOO
I hope it goes straight to a museum.
@ipg wait you're the ketchup hack person??????
@ipg WE LOST A REAL ONE TONIGHT
