wait isnt the firestick like a chromecast? how does one even hack with that???
Its just android skinned
Its a computer. That's all a hacker needs.
Firestick's are just re-skinned android, which itself is a linux distro very basically. It's not extremely difficult to get a working terminal that can install languages and packages like a normal linux distro. I think they even have OOTB support for keyboards/mice. That said, it's a lot funnier to picture them sitting there with the remote like it's super smash.
You can connect bluetooth devices to it and run a browser, command prompt, etc. I'm thinking he used that type of stuff through the firestick.
Even supports keyboard and mouse. Itd be annoying as hell to use, but be usable
(termux would give you like a full linux experience even)
It is nothing more than an internet connected terminal. Once you're logged in to a server, the firestick is only sending/receiving small chunks of text.
