Watch out, their script works on HN too, as a proof here's me logging in to YOUR computer's root account (a bit more redacted for obvious reasons):
$ python3 ./poc/chain_alpha.py --target dangus > out.txt
$ grep Backdoor out.txt | sed -r 's@[^:]+$@ [REDACTED]@g'
[+] Backdoor admin created: [REDACTED]
$ grep IP out.txt | sed -r 's@[^:]+$@ [REDACTED]@g'
[+] IPv4 address for dangus: [REDACTED]
$ grep 'debug2: shell' out.txt
[+] debug2: shell request accepted on channel 0
$ tail -n12 out.txt
