- usb_control_msg(0x21, 2) Exploit - 3.1.2 and below
Bootrom

Boot Chain
VROM->LLB->iBoot->Kernel->System Software
It is definitely worthy to note that the Pwnage exploit is fixed because the images are now flashed to the NOR in their encrypted IMG3 containers, and the bootrom can properly check LLB's signature. That being said, unsigned images can still be run using the 0x24000 Segment Overflow, provided the bootrom is old enough.
