Poc in the url means proof of concept. Not very Real world at all.

Not some artificial poc that already knows an address to attack and needs to be helped by continually pulling the data into the L1 cache.

If it is so easy to do then why has nobody written anything that can read a password from a browser or sudo?

A proof of concept is a real world demonstration. That's all it is.

You seem to think that exploit devs should work for free, why is that?
