The "easiest" way to get all 80+ Nintendo Switch keys to use with hactool.

Note: This project no longer serves any practical purpose to end-users and has been superseded by Lockpick_RCM.

User guide

At the time of release, hekate does not yet have tsec key dumping, which is required to use this application. You must use the build provided to obtain these.

Launch CTCaer's hekate mod (v4.0+), and dump your fuses (not kfuses) and tsec_keys by going through the menu:

  • For fuses, Console Info > Print fuse info > Press power button.
  • For tsec_keys, Console Info > Print TSEC keys > Press power button.

If you are on 1.0.0 - 2.3.0, also do the following in hekate:

  • Tools > Backup > Backup eMMC BOOT0/1.
  • Tools > Dump package1/2.
  • Launch CFW so you can access homebrew.

Via FTPD, Appstore-nx, or some other method of getting files on your switch, put kezplez-nx.nro and kezplez-nx.nacp in "/switch/kezplez-nx" on your sd card.

Launch it, read the information presented, and press A to have the magic happen.

Keys will appear at "/prod.keys" on your sd card, you can then use them with hactool via:

  • A) (Recommended) Place them at $HOME/.switch/prod.keys, this allows you to use hactool freely from anywhere without having to worry about where your keyfile is.
  • B) (Not Recommended) Place them in the same directory as hactool and use -k or --keyset. This is not recommended because you must directly specify where your keyfile is every time you wish to use hactool In the future, there may be features such as uploading keys to a site like pastebin.com for convenience or a payload version of this application so you can run it in RCM.
