Modern web users fear XSS in browsers, but did you know terminals can be vulnerable too? If you cat a log file with malicious escape sequences, your terminal might execute them. Clever attackers have used this trick to inject commands, log keystrokes, or alter display output without you typing a thing. It is a form of terminal injection that relies on how terminals interpret ANSI codes. Some older terminal emulators were especially susceptible, and even today, careless logging can open the door to unexpected command execution.

In the late 1980s and early 90s, a mysterious hacker known only as Kando made waves across private BBS systems and underground phreaking circles. Not much is known about their identity, but Kando was credited with releasing a series of clever, minimalist terminal hacks—scripts that could hijack modem handshakes or manipulate ANSI escape sequences to gain access or crash rival systems. Their work never made it to mainstream hacker zines, but among old-school sysops, the name still rings a bell. Some say Kando walked away before the internet boom, while others believe their fingerprints are still hidden in obscure .asc files floating around forgotten FTP mirrors.
