The whole evolution of the Gateway-3ds, reversing enough of the exploit the team used, to get custom firmware running, figuring out how to downgrade systems, followed by this arm9loaderhax thing just boggles the mind. The number of different keys employed in encryption/decryption... and yet most keys have been calculated, including the console-specific OTP (because of a mistake that was corrected back in firmware 3.0, but figuring out how to downgrade a system below that, pretty much made the fix useless). The whole OTP and arm9loaderhax thing was simply a concept a couple of months ago, but simply coming up with a theory was enough for the community to bring it to life.
Any thoughts?
Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!

I have no idea of any of what's been going on in the 3DS scene, but I was absolutely fascinated to read about and watch videos about team fail0verflow's hacking of the Wii, Wii U and PS4. Do you have any links to interesting forum threads or whatnot about this 3DS hacking progress over the past few months?

It just goes to show that no matter how they try to secure technology, there's always a way around it.
