What in this article is nonsense? It did a decent job of explaining that it needs to be compiled from a 3rd party firmware, how the attack works and a video of said attack.
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoThe article can be as nuanced as it wants but if the title calls the thing a "hacking device" that's a fair thing to criticize

I think it’s fair to characterise it as a “hacking device”. As long as we keep in mind that these specialised devices have legitimate uses also.
