I am an idiot and thought the link belonged elsewhere. Mod me down.

Maybe you should link to the "informative" blog post on Adblock Plus's blog.

Bug In Android Passes Keystrokes To Root Shell 205

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday November 08, 2008 @02:18PM from the watch-what-you-type dept.

pasokon writes "ZDNet reports on an Android bug in T-Mobile G1s with early versions of the firmware: 'When the phone booted it started up a command shell as root and sent every keystroke you ever typed on the keyboard from then on to that shell. Thus every word you typed, in addition to going to the foreground application would be silently and invisibly interpreted as a command and executed with superuser privileges. ... open the keyboard tray on your G1, ignore anything you see on the screen, and type these 8 keystrokes: (enter)-r-e-b-o-o-t-(enter). Poof, your phone will reboot.'"
