Something really fun I found out recently, when my friend lost all access to his system except for a single WebDAV share by accidentally turning off all his remote admin access:
If you write “b” to /proc/sysrq-trigger, it will immediately reboot the system (like holding down the reset button, so inherently a bit dangerous).
He was running Nephele with / mounted as the share, so luckily he just uploaded that file with a single “b” in it, and all his remote admin stuff came back up after the reboot.

that’s horrible and funny at the same time.
I will assume they fixed that vuln later

That’s not a vulnerability. That’s intended and desired behavior. It was really useful in this case too.

ok, a backdoor then. can they overwrite any file with it?

It’s their machine. It’s a front door.
