When he was a young botnet!
Ah, so a bit more useful than my teenage son? Where do I sign up??
I’m glad I’m not the only one. As a parent, the “teenage son” is a bewildering sight to behold.
Essentially, the author has deliberately misconfigured an openclaw installation so it is as insecure as possible, changing the defaults and ignoring the docs to do so. Lied about what they've done and what the defaults are. Then "hacked" it using the vulnerability they created.
That said, there are definite risks to using something like openclaw and people who don't understand those risks are going to get compromised, but that doesn't justify blatant lying.
