Strictly speaking, shouldn't it be possible to bodge ansible to send and execute a static python interpreter to bootstrap a host? I've been bitten by "oh no, that Python's too old" or similar several times now. The idea of bootstrapping from only having a `sh` on the far end seems like it ought to be a thing, but (for instance) mitogen only goes part-way.
There was a pen-test tool designed on these lines once called Mosquito Lisp, which as far as I can see evolved into something called WaspVM: https://github.com/swdunlop/WaspVM https://github.com/swdunlop/WaspVM I have no idea if it's in use, alive, or even working these days.
Is anyone working on this side of the problem and I've missed it?
