>Can You Get Root with Only a Cigarette Lighter?

No, you can't. That long lead to couple your ersatz pulse generator defeats all the engineering put into making the computer reliable and quiet in the EMI sense.

Circuit bending is fun stuff, but it's not a remote exploit.

Where in the article does he say this is a remote exploit?

The old saying of "if you've got physical access, game over", is where this applies.

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
