'''Nintendo 3DS firmware exploits and homebrew''' refer to vulnerabilities in the [[wikipedia:Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo 3DS]] family systems which allow for many different types of exploits such as homebrew, data injection, accessing services without having to update, ROM patching, region lock circumvention and ultimately modification of the system's firmware.

"SoundHax" is an example of a more recent Nintendo 3DS exploit which was developed by nedwill. This exploit involves the user using a Nintendo 3DS system with pre-prepared SD Card data and playing a special sound file on Nintendo 3DS Sound to boot the "homebrew launcher", in which the player can continue to perform exploits on the Nintendo 3DS.
 
In addition to exploiting the Nintendo 3DS system through a software vulnerability, it is possible for one to do it through physically modifying the Nintendo 3DS as well. This is known called "hardmodding".
