		RIMR on Oct 7, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Can you get root with only a cigarette lighter? This guy literally got root using a cigarette lighter, and your attempt to debunk it is to suggest that physical exploits don't count? If you only care about remote exploits, fine, but don't go scolding others for accomplishing things you can't.

Do it without the precisely connected wire, and then you can say "only a cigarette lighter" as mentioned in the title, otherwise it's click-bait
