Simone Margaritelli is one of them. Simone works in Zimperium and has little time for nitty gritty of opening an App to brew his coffee. He did what hackers are known for, he hacked his coffee machine finding a way to brew coffee using the command line.
Simone says he reverse engineered the app used to control the Smarter AM coffee machine. This means that hackers will now not have to waste time on the Smarter AM coffee machine App veery time they need a coffee. Now they can directly do it from their laptop and command line.
Simone has made the entire process public on his Blogspot and says that “Since I work from home, most of the times I’m using the computer keyboard, not a smartphone, therefore I wanted a console client for it.” ? ? ?
