Incognito is a Nintendo Switch application that wipes some personal information from your device by removing it from the PRODINFO (CAL0) file. Its purpose is two-fold:
- To enable your Switch to go online with a slightly reduced risk of getting banned.
- To prevent malicious homebrew applications from stealing your personal certificate.
Note: Atmosphere blocks writes to PRODINFO, so you must use ReiNX, SX OS, or a custom KIP to install this. Once installed, you can switch back to Atmosphere.
Disclaimers
- This application does not remove all personal information from your Switch, and should not be treated as a true preventative measure against getting banned.
- Always have a NAND backup. The author is not responsible for any bricks or bans. Use at your own risk, as this is an experimental program.
- This application backs up your PRODINFO to the SD card, as backup/PRODINFO.bin You should keep this backup in a more secure location, and not leave it on the SD card where it could be subject to corruption or be read by malicious applications.
Controls
A - Install incognito mode
B - Backup prodinfo.bin only
Y - Restore prodinfo.bin
X - Verify prodinfo.bin
Plus - Exit
