Hi there! I wish I could claim that I wrote the Makefiles, but my knowledge of C is very limited and all the credit for that goes to xyzz, who created the original exploit intended for Amazon kindles. I simply created a fork that would work with the echo using the same CPU, the original code is here: https://github.com/xyzz/amonet

This is why I love the old pre-LLM world. Can’t help but imagine that already now many people just get the very same code suggested by Copilot and never even learn about the existence of the original author—whom they wouldn’t be able to credit even if they wanted to.
(The corollary being, of course, if that recognition and pride in one’s work are what drives people to do original work and share it openly in the first place, why would they do it now in this brave new world?)
