If you read carefully, there's a tonne of give aways.. like a tonne. If people still haven't picked it up by the end, the very last faq actually explains it a bit more explicitly. But at first glance, works about as good as a strong coffee

I don't think we made it obvious enough that this was satire..? I mean the cvss score is literally 22 out of 10
I'm now half worried people are not going to read this closely enough and try do something. Friend and I designed it last night. But I've asked him to strip all the funny config changes out like making bash a setuid binary and allowing root login. Honestly I can't tell if anyone here is actually not understanding it's satire.. and by God I hope not. But just in case..
RSH is better as it eliminates credentials as potential attack surface.

You don't even need a network port open; you might have the vulnerable software already on your system: https://terminal2shell.com/

I think this can be chained.
This is a (bad) joke.

Sadly, our CISO does not understand enough of anything and will come down on us screaming come the morrow.

Well, isn't the purpose of SSH ? ^^
Are you suggesting this is a deliberate back door attempt?

Oh no!
Well time to switch to telnet!
Best. Advice. Ever.
Password is toor. Maybe the internet can collectively help keep an eye on this thing.22/10. touché
