I was completely blown away. I have a portable player with some bugs in its system, and the official firmware hasn’t been updated in a long time. This afternoon, I had a sudden idea to let Codex analyze the official firmware to see if I could modify it. Codex unpacked it and found it was an embedded Linux system with a MIPS architecture. Then, after some reverse engineering, it discovered a possible vulnerability in an HTTP service—basically the WiFi music transfer feature. I turned the service on and let it continue. https://t.co/MQPwCptSob
