@sinisas User settings are restricted (through the UI) but using iTerm and a CVE from 2013 implemented in Python I got a root terminal. I just need to figure out how to elevate the account to be a system admin. I don't fully understand their reset mechanism but it seems to affect system files as well. Don't know where the original image is saved.
I'm a Linux guy and am not very experienced with Macs.
Priceless 😂😂😂
MacBook is running even with 0% battery #respect

Did the only sensible thing IMO and installed a Linux VM on that thing.
In case you don't know what this is about. Essentially at the hotel I'm staying at they have put iMacs in every room as a TV replacement. And some of them run an OSX version from 2011! That means there a quite a lot of known remote execution bugs known for these devices. You can't update them either because they reset after each reboot. Because I was sick of using Firefox 6 for watching videos I installed xubuntu on that thing. (God knows why the admin passwort is blank)
