@vwbusguy any idea what the backend might be? Anisble? libvirt in a container?
@gnuplusmatt @vwbusguy If this is the same machine that has appeared at DEFCON, there’s explainer videos on YouTube about how it’s built.

@aardvark @joy @vwbusguy found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmW6lMCEaJc 👍 they didnt go into the process about it other than it being php code for transaction.
