I actually had written more about the exploit & vulnerability in my original drafts but I cut it out because it was a bit boring to read.

You are correct that with domain control I am able to serve content to any sign but the content will only be loaded once at boot time. Any future updates would have needed to come from their defunct AWS IoT connection (ignoring full restarts).

Using the exploit I remove the connection to AWS IoT and update some of the code to better connect it to the recreated API so users can update their signs in mostly real time.

Would you mind posting that content somewhere? I would find it very interesting!

Sure I took out the relevant section and put it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTYSTUp3eTjfD-hG...
