In alignment with @disqus_9IhhJVksT8:disqus’s observation. As far as I’m concerned, this is for experimental purposes only.

The name “takeover” is misleading. This appears to be an admin tool and not at all for gaining remote access. Cool idea if you need to rebuild a system. But, it does require that you already have root access to the box.

Elitest hacker who built a “script” (translation: backdoor) and essentially says “don’t push the big red button”…

This is an exploit waiting to happen! Quit being lazy and just go physically work on the box! Even the elitest hacker says not to use the script on anything you care about…

Such bullshit. You need root to run it. If you got root, you got root.

*begin rant* The author of the script sounds like a tool, so elitest that he tricks even himself into thinking he’s better than he really is. Who cares if it’s for “not for newbies”, that’s not really something he needs to concern himself with. It’s a tool, just like all other software. It sounds to me like a bullshit excuse to not have to write proper documentation. And who cares if a newbie messes up his system… he will learn from his mistakes, he can reinstall. Like what if Microsoft shipped Windows without an installer, said it’s only for people who know what they are doing, so they intentionally left out instructions or commands because you might do it wrong. SMH…and you think before long, if the software is as good as he thinks, these coveted commands wont be just a google search away? Please treat me like a child, I’m too stupid to be responsible with my own shit. *end rant* People piss me off because in this case, it’s as if he’s trying to achieve some elite status by being too lazy to write complete docs, and then instead of just owning that they are too lazy they blame it on me being too stupid to use it. That’s a bad attitude towards others and I don’t like it.
