"Out on bail for allegedly hacking the hardware company Nvidia, Kurtaj, prosecutors say, pulled off the GTA heist while staying under police protection at a Travelodge hotel. Without his computer, he somehow managed to hack into Rockstar using his smartphone, an Amazon Firestick, and the TV in his hotel room." Oh? I will allow it. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/12/teen-hacked-grand-th...

At this point, they really need to start leveraging this man's skills for good or *lawful* evil.

Give this man freedom and sic him on Moscow's infrastructure as penance. They have no chance.

Serious, why would anybody care besides modding community, and maybe GTA Online hackers? No competitor can think there's anything there worth their money and effort.

Rockstar micro-transactions would be one reason for Rockstar themselves to actually care about this. Hackers summoning RMT rewards in GTAV Online were already a "problem."

Assuming its not completely wrong that to me sounds something like that he just had the files stored somewhere.

That being said travelodge Wi-Fi is so bad, maybe the only way would've been actually doing the job.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It could be a great learning material. I'm not a game developer, but I would be very happy to have an AAA game source code I can build locally.

99% of game developers dont build on their own engines. It's would be like looking into Linux kernel source code to build your own music player app or TODO app. Few people who do heavy engine lifting in C++ simply not gonna bother with someone else code. But I pretty sure everyone in modding community would be really happy.

Everyone should read the Linux kernel source to see how aggressively up a painful local maximum you can get in the name of simplicity.

I think I read somewhere (can't find the source at the moment) that he mainly used his existing access (to slack?) from his phone and didn't actually do much hacking at that point.

After reading this I assumed he used some kind of remote server he had access to. Eg phone is the Bluetooth keyboard, fire stick provides an internet connection and a browser, and remote server provides the full Linux environment to do whatever actually hacking with.

I'm surprised to see so much Ruby used in a video game. Excluding libraries and gems, there exist 627 *.rb files!

Granted, it is all for utilities and automation external to the game itself, but it's definitely not a common language in 2023.
