The fact he used a FireTV stick to hack Rockstar is pretty impressive lol
I’m guessing those things run Linux. So you would just need a shell.
Though I’m guessing term of his house arrest didn’t allow him to have a keyboard. That part has me curious.
They run Android, so not really standard Linux, but yeah.
Install an Android app that lets you ssh into something, bingo bango, you have a full Linux terminal
It says he used cloud services so probably only needed a web browser
what's up with this phrase coming back into style?
So either a remote control or voice control.
Anyway, kid has too much time on his hands, lol.
The article or maybe the comments said he accessed a cloud based Linux service using the FireStick and went to work from there.
Rock, fire, stick... there's a theme
… what?
