'''SpotPass''' is a Nintendo 3DS feature that allows the 3DS to automatically download content, notifications, and software when it's in standby mode.(SpotPass may download/upload some content while the 3DS is in "active" mode, but *only* if the currently active app uses SpotPass) SpotPass can upload content as well. Software downloaded with SpotPass is stored on SD card.

SpotPass Internet communications are mostly small UDP frames and HTTPS transfers, the only HTTP download is the connection test page.

In System Settings, you can disable SpotPass automatic title downloading,(this is _only_ for free titles etc not auto system updates) but it states that important software will still downloaded.

*Friends List application requires this server to be 'Online' (most likely the reason for regular requests to this server)
*Friends List applet requires this server to be 'Online' (most likely the reason for regular requests to this server)
*Required for initialization of E-shop, (for first time e-shop users). Not required for using E-Shop after first use.
*Required for initialization of [[eShop]], (for first time eShop users). Not required for using eShop after first use.
In some cases the BOSS module will add the following URL parameter to HTTPS requests, when connected to a [[Nintendo Zone]] AP: "ap=<NZoneApNum>" or when using a specific [[Cfg:GetSystemModel|system model]]: "tm=<SystemModelNumber>". The Old 3DS and Old 3DS XL don't set this value.
== Homemenu SpotPass usage ==
== policylist ==
Every time the system connects to the wifi AP, the BOSS ("Background online storage service" = SpotPass) module itself will download the cleartext xml policylist: "https://nppl.c.app.nintendowifi.net/p01/policylist/3/<countrycode>". This policylist contains a list of SpotPass tasks for certain titles. This policylist can control whether the specified tasks are processed at all.
As of the policylist updated 2017-11-08, this stops the <tt>OlvNotf</tt> (Miiverse notification sync) task for <tt>000400300000bc00</tt>, <tt>000400300000bd00</tt>, <tt>000400300000be00</tt> for all regions and <tt>basho0</tt> for the [[Home Menu]]. Japan also has the <tt>9ER_NTD</tt> task blocked for いつの間にテレビ (<tt>0004000000034700</tt>).
== User Agent ==
The default user-agent used for SpotPass HTTPS requests (including the policylist) has the following format:
<tt><user agent codename>-<user agent version>/<printed hex u64 [[CfgS:GetLocalFriendCodeSeed|LocalFriendCodeSeed]]>-<printed hex u64 [[FRDU:GetMyFriendKey|Friend]] [[FRDU:PrincipalIdToFriendCode|Code]]>/<text [[CVer|system]] [[NVer|version]]>/<unknown decimal value>/<[[Cfg:GetSystemModel|system model number]]></tt>
The codename can be set to either <tt>PBOS</tt> (Production BOSS?) or <tt>DBOS</tt> (Development BOSS?) depending if the console is a [[Configuration_Memory#UNITINFO|retail]] unit. As of system version 11.17, the user agent version is hardcoded to 8.0 and the decimal value is set to 62452 (0xF3F4).
No user-agent is used for plaintext HTTP requests with SpotPass.

== Content Container ==
== Content Container ==
SpotPass content must use this container to encrypt the payload and sign it, for content downloads. The cleartext content is stored in [[extdata]]. The format of these headers is big-endian.

|}
Data following the header is encrypted with AES-CTR. The first 12 bytes of the CTR are from offset 0x1C of the header, while the last word of the CTR in big-endian is 0x1. The cleartext data begins with another header. Following that header is the actual content.
Data following the BOSS header is encrypted with AES-CTR. The AES key that is used is stored in [[AES_Registers#Keyslots|keyslot 0x38]]. The first 12 bytes of the IV are from offset 0x1C of the header, while the last 32-bit integer of the IV in big-endian is 0x1. The IV from the header is random per file, and an unique random IV is used each time the content is updated. The cleartext data begins with the content header.
The 64-bit number at 0xC may be a serial number which is increased every time someone requested to sign and create a boss container for a file. The 3DS sees the downloaded file as new if this number is different from the previous download (Doesn't matter if the number is bigger or smaller).
The boss system module v13314 begins at address 0x0010eb98 with the function for parsing the BOSS header.

The hash at offset 0x12 hashes the 0x10-byte data at offset 0x0 followed by a zero u16.
The first 0x10-bytes are all-zero except the first byte which is usually 0x80. It's unknown what the first 0x10-bytes are used for.
The 16-bit value at 0x10 tells how many payload contents follow after this the content header. For example there can be a downloaded file for a game followed by a message for the news system module.
The hash at offset 0x12 hashes the 0x12-byte data at offset 0x0 followed by a zero u16. The RSA signature is signed by Nintendo. Following this header is the actual content payload, which is written to a cleartext file under the [[extdata]] /boss directory.

This signature is signed by Nintendo with the same key-pair as the content header.
The hash at offset 0x1C hashes the 0x1C-byte data at offset 0x0 followed by a zero u16, followed by all of the remaining cleartext data following this header(the actual content data).
The downloaded boss data is written in the following format to extdata.
First an extdata header in the following format
