  1. Maybe I'm just stupid but why can the vpn install a certain part that runs with root privileges? You only entered your non root user password it seemed. Doesnt that mean we could just write our own installer that asks for user password but puts malicioua code under a root level part?

  2. Dude, changing a physical file is considered a vuln or even a 0-day? WTF.
    Yeah, but the vid you did on leeroy getting kinda fooled by JP made it a bit clearer to me. Big UP and many thanks for this enlightenment!

  3. i really like how you've said in the beginning of the video "last time i sadly couldnt find a vulnerability. but this time i do a challenge so we can definitely find one!" and there's still not a real issue 😀 but still very informative bro! keep it up hacker boy! liebe grüße.

  4. I know very little about security, stumbled across this randomly. But it seems strange to me that entering the password for a regular user is sufficient to install a root daemon. Shouldn't anything that runs as root require entering the root password?

  5. He actually said you could kill someone with “electrical shocks” from an insulin pump. Does this dude not know what an insulin pump is? It delivers insulin my guy, it’s not a definite unit. Moreover, the US has banned network capabilities for life-saving medications and technologies like pacers for the specific reason that they could be hacked to stop and kill someone. Despite this, this software had nothing to do with medical devices themselves and is only used for charting. Cringe
