What is PegaScape?

PegaScape is a user-friendly public frontend for common PegaSwitch scripts including Nereba, Caffeine, HBL and more.

What can PegaScape be used for?

With PegaScape, you can easily reboot from a stock Switch console running firmwares between 1.0.0-3.0.0 and 4.0.1-4.1.0 into full custom firmware and emuMMC. You can also install the Fake News entrypoint to make accessing PegaScape easier, and access the Homebrew Menu without running full custom firmware if you prefer.

This means an easy-to-use entrypoint to fully featured CFW on 4.1.0 IPATCHED units.

Which scripts are supported on what firmware versions?

Fake News	Installer	Reboot to RCM	Nereba	HBL	Caffeine
1.0.0	✓	✓	✓	✓	✗

Dependencies

NodeJS v9.11.2
NPM v5.6.0
Python v2.7
make
build-essential

Directions

Install NodeJS v9.11.2 and NPM v5.6.0 specifically. Newer versions will not work. This can be done with NVM.
Install Python v2.7. Only Python versions v2.5.0 and newer and older than v3.0.0 work.
Install make.
Install the build-essential package, which contains the g++ compiler.
Clone the repo.
Open cmd/terminal in the cloned directory.
Run npm install.
Run [sudo] node start.js [--webapplet] [--ip <html_server_ip_override>] [--host <dns_server_ip_override] [--disable-dns].
- --webapplet: To enable fake internet, allowing the Switch to pass the connection test and load things like Fake News.
- --ip <html_server_ip_override> if the detected IP address for the HTML server is not preferred.
- --host <dns_server_ip_override if the detected IP address for the DNS server is not preferred.
- --disable-dns if you want to disable the internal DNS server and use something else (dnsmasq, bind, etc).
- Root privileges are usually required on Linux to bind to port 80 and 53.
- It may be required to specify the external IP address and host with --ip and --host if you see an error about failing to bind to localhost.

Changes from PegaSwitch

Logging is disabled by default (enable with "debug": true).
Homepage is used to select exploits. Can be configured in config.json, and are automatically appended to index.html based on the connecting clients firmware version and the firmware requirements specified for each exploit.
All device switching logic is removed/disabled.
Websockets are never stored anywhere and are kicked off after the initial connection process completes.
minmain.js is not run until an exploit is picked, rather than immediately when the page loads.
You cannot interface with Switches through the CLI.
Gadgetcache writes are disabled by default (enable with "debug": true).
Endpoints not fit for a public server were removed.
Some functionality which could be exploited on the server was removed or tweaked.
Probably other stuff.

Liability

Nobody is responsible if you lose your data, brick your Switch, get banned, drop your Switch into the toilet, have your Switch stolen by ninjas, etc, except yourself. By using PegaScape or any form of homebrew in any capacity you understand the risks involved with running unsigned code on your Switch.
