Reverse-engineered and vibe-coded? I've been seeing a lot more projects like this recently; it seems getting an AI to do a lot of the work for you has lowered the barrier to entry.

AI is amazing at reverse engineering, especially if you can give it a live feedback loop.

Yes, certainly. I've heard of people that let an agent run on one machine, point a USB Camera at the target and give the agent ssh access and something like imgsnap (cli webcam command) and then let it run autonomously. The agent can then try all sorts of things and also verify the results without asking the user. I think that's quite a good workflow, giving at least a basic feedback loop for work that can't be tested with just software.

For extra credit on top of the webcam, you can also add a Fingerbot, and a pi pico with either an Ethernet port or a second USB port, so the host machine can talk to the target device as if it was a keyboard, and then also hard power it off via holding the power button if the work wedges the machine.

		Surely it would be simpler+cheaper to use a smart plug to kill power, at least for devices without a battery (or where removing it is easy)
