I’ve put together some code for building a FreeBSD disk image which will boot into memory, configure the network, set a root password, and enable SSH. This can be used to “depenguinate” a Linux box, without requiring any access beyond a network connection.
busybox provides the functionality of many common unix tools in a single executable. It’s super tiny which makes it great for embedded development. Or sneaking onto someone else’s Linux system, apparently.
This reminds me of Depinguinator
This is interesting but does anyone understand what busybox and the fakeinit.c do?
