Way back in the day, this must have been like 2004, I for a moment had an actual shell on my website. I don't remember what I was doing to accomplish it, I think I was doing either CGI or PHP, but it talked to a C daemon process which execv'd a bash prompt. Then I did some crude AJAX code to render a terminal and pass keypresses.

Naturally I just had this fully exposed with no log-in because it was in the early 2004 and surely nobody would go on the internet and `rm -rf` stuff.

Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED talk.
